RE: MAPICS 2005 User Conference

["Kevin Fox" <kdfox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best news I heard is that Phil Joseph is in charge of Development and
that MAPICS er.. Infor purchased Paragon Systems.  This is very, very
exciting as they have the technology to bring everything together that makes
sense.

The second best piece of news is that the financial systems are a go in the
power link architecture.  Big reason for installed accounts like me to get
ready to move to R7+...

I'm surprised to not see anything posted yet about the event!?!?
I think I can sum it up in one word - ENTHUSIASM!
It's something we haven't seen in a while, and it was pretty obvious from 
the top on down.

I know a few people commented that there was just a lot of talk - nothing 
substantive.  But we have to remember that the acquisition just took place
and it will take a bit of time for things to kick in.

My conversations with various affiliates, Infor employees and executives 
left me feeling very optimistic.  So much so that in the summary I'm 
writing for our management team I feel compelled to retract my previous 
statements about the future of MAPICS and recommit to improving & 
expanding our ERP system.

I even found myself interested in the new IBM I5, and THAT really has me 
surprised!

Did I mention that enthusiasm was contagious?

I really hope next year's event is in Vegas - baby!
