Regina,
IF your users are very comfortable with working with PCs, and are not
irrevocably married to their green screen (some of mine are sooooo attached
to their green screens they are at the "until death us do part!" stage),
Browser can provide improved data access and maintenance capabilities that
are little short of incredible.
Two examples at Fleetwood:
1. Engineering after we converted to EPDM (and Browser), we went from 2
full time data entry people maintaining records, plus numerous individuals
who maintained specific data elements, to 1 full time person. We kept the
numerous individuals, but now they can only access the specific fields they
are to maintain. Not only did we get significant productivity
improvements, we got much, much more security and accountability.
2. Material Planners - a weekly order review/release task done by one of
our people took over 2 hours each week, now takes about 20 minutes. That's
one specific example, there are more.
The flexibility and dynamics of the Browser interface can't be compared to
green screen. You really need to get your affiliate to demo this
correctly. I could list dozens and dozens of specific enhancements that
Browser has provided us - and we still don't have everyone using it. It's
available, they just won't give up their beloved green screens (yet).
But you really have to put time and effort into training! That is
absolutely critical. And the customization of views and cards, where you
get the "big bang", takes some time and effort up front.

Please respond to
MAPICS ERP System
Discussion
We are currently using Mapics XA6 modules COM, PUR, IM, PDM, PDM+, CRP,
PCC,
MRP, and IFM. We are considering purchasing the Mapics Browser but would
like information about its functionality, productivity gains, support
issues, etc. that does not come from a Mapics affiliate's sales pitch.
We're particularly interested in pros and cons of using it over COM.
Please let me know what you think of the product and over which modules you
are using it. I am also interested in lessons learned on the installation,
training, and maintenance of the Browser.
Thanks,
Regina Walter
Senior Programmer/Analyst
