RE: Hello,i can see this is going to be fun -- MAPICS-L

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mr. Sagan currently conducting his
research from HEAVEN (Here After eVENt)? If so, I'd REALLY like to meet him
in Chicago - I've got a few questions about his new location! (Or is he
relocated to LIMBO (LInux anti-Microsoft Business Offices)?)

History of MAPICS and the Universe - part #3....

Well, after Carl Sagen got started, he discovered a new feature in MAPICS, 
called COM_Net (Cosmic Organizational Management over the subspace
etherNet).  After he found our about COM_Net, he installed that and had the 
various civilizations around the galaxy (all the beeellions and 
beeeellions of them) enter their own information, saving Carl enormous 
amounts of time and money.  This eliminated a lot of bothersome clerical 
effort and paperwork, not to mention speeding up his cataloging of the 
data.  Unfortunately, Mr. Sagen found that COM_Net doesn't run on Linux - 
he had to install Windows IIS (Incredibly 
Insecure Service), but you can't have everything.

Later, Mr. Sagan installed MDCC (Majorly Dynamic Cosmic Collector) to
automate even more of his data collection, and that improved 
his processing even more.  Using MDCC, he was able to have his loyal 
interns, students, and associates update his PCC (Primary Catalog of the
Cosmos) databases using laser scanning and other automated data feeds. This 
saved him even more time and money in reduction of paperwork and clerical 
function. 

Overall, Mr. Sagan has been very pleased with the continual progression of 
his MAPICS software, as it kept pace with new developments in technology, 
and the needs of his sophisticated projects.  The expanding capabilities 
and applications within the MAPICS umbrella allows him to run his research 
facilities more efficiently, and he is able to fund even more research 
with the savings he has gained from effective use of MAPICS.  He is 
especially eager to move to the new Release 7 of MAPICS, and it's 
conversion to the much more efficient Java (Journey Around Virtually
Anywhere) interface, which will allow him to expand his research 
capabilities considerably, and not have to invest heavily in expansion. 
The new Java-based Release 7 of MAPICS will make it even easier for Mr. 
Sagan to tie in his various sites and research partners.  Full 
implementation of MAPICS Browser with ERP Essentials (Extragalactic Reseach
Protocols) will make research and collation of data faster, and more 
effective.  He will save even more money in the long run by being able to 
utilize thin-client technology.  He is slightly annoyed at the continuing 
delay of release of all the Java components, however - especially the CSM
(Cosmic Space Management) and Integrator functions.  However, he is hoping
for good news at the upcoming 
Interstellar MAPICS User Conference regarding this, and is also eager to 
hear what else is new!

Carl Sagan was the first person to use Mapics to inventory the stars and
record the stock locations of life - Warehouse Earth, Aisle USA, Bin
location Illinois...   His only problem was identifying the batch/lot
numbers and FIFO dates.  And of course the need to upgrade his AS/400 for
CSM (Cosmic Space Management) and IFM (Inter-galactic Financials) due to
increased ALF (Alien Life Forms).

MAPICS -  A 'mfg, acct, production, inventory, control system' , i.e., an
ERP solution for mid-range mfg companies which runs on the Iseries (old
as400s)
First owned b IBM, then Marcam, now Mapics Inc. Mapics has been around since
79. With billions, and bilions (dejavu, believe we went thru this once
?) of
users throughout the galaxy, (even the star ships run mapics). Of course
everyone is going to MAPICS, and the whole supply chain strategy, and
tactical implementations will be so much easier when everyone is finally
committed.  ( to MAPICS, that is). Sooo get going, while you can still get
support !
