RE: Rel.7 Upgrade

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Shawn,

The short answer is that NetLink is the web-based (Internet or Intranet)
Java version of MAPICS Browser.  Instead of a "fat client" (running
Smalltalk and Client Access and whatever) with a bunch of memory and a
considerable processor being required to use MAPICS Browser, you can access
MAPICS Browser with a thin client terminal (or low end PC) running Internet
Explorer with Java capabilities.

This should significantly reduce hardware requirements (and extend hardware
life) in my manufacturing environment.  And, if I choose to in the future,
extend specific applications to the Internet for Supply Chain Management
(although there are some other MAPICS products that I will look at when
that comes up on my never-ending project list).

I'm certain there will be a LOT of information on this at the MUC, if you
attend......  Just sign up for any of Phil Joseph's presentations and hang
on to your seat.

Please "cc:" me to the list of people responding to Willie regarding
their
upgrade from R6 (or whatever) to R7.  We are also in the process of
upgrading - just beginning the testing phase.  I know what my payback
will
be (largely the thin client model advantages of NetLink), assuming
everything works as it should, but I'd like to hear any war stories.

We are upgrading to Rel. 7 from Rel. 6.  I would like to hear any
comments
from users that have already made this move.
Thanks,
