Re: Client Architecture - Browser?

["Mike Bennett" <mbennett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My opinion - before divorcing from one vendor and marrying another
 consider all the costs to get back to the place you are now
with the new one you choose.
You may find that the new one has problems as well.
Preserving your experience and knowledge is a huge cost factor.
The business can sometimes suffer greatly, needlessly.
Research the problems that a big chocolate company had some
years back when they switched to a really big, big$ software savior.
It may be better to keep her and work out the problems.
By the way, I'm not a lifetime Mapics user and
this ain't my first rodeo.

Subject: Client Architecture - Browser?


We are currently running R6 and have decided to review other ERP
packages since MAPICS doesn't handle some of the situations/configs we
have.  We created a Pluses and Minuses list for MAPICS and have recently
gone over this with our MAPICS consultants.  In the meeting is seemed
that the response to our issues was that the new "client architecture"
will address this.  I'm assuming this is the "browser" version.



Is anybody running this?

What sort of issues have you seen?

Would you recommend this?



Thanks for any feedback.
