RE: XA Release 7

[lisa.thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx]

We haven't gotten far enough along to be able to answer these questions yet.
These are definitely the questions we are trying to answer with the Pilot.

At this point with our level of experience with Integrator and "green"
screen mods, we think we are in good shape.  We are currently doing some
WebSphere and Java training.  If there are items that we need changed in the
Browser/Framework, I am expecting that they would be beneficial to other
Mapics users as well.  We would therefore ask Mapics to incorporate them
into Browser.

I had a lengthy discussion with one of the Paragon developers at the
conference concerning things I would like to see added to
Browser/Integrator.  They seem to be open and excited about the ideas that
were tossed about and added a twist here and there as we discussed them.

I think this is the true beauty of client/web serving in that a base change
can be made that will affect all of the objects.  Part of the issue is
trying to teach ourselves to think differently about the solutions.  If
you're not thinking outside the "green" screen solution, you may miss a
really nice enhancement that would have cross benefits.

Lisa,

Do you have any modifications that you cannot do in Integrator and cannot be
done within a "green" screen?  If yes, what are your plans for those?

TIA,

Eric
