RE: MAPICS Purchasing History

Hi Jack,
 
Thank you for your response.
 
Marcam purchased the rights to MAPICS from IBM in 1993. I'm trying to establish 
when IBM bought the rights of Purchasing from GMD. I think it was 1986. Any 
thoughts?

into the time line but if I'm not mistaken MARCAM was a seperate entity.

As best as I can remember, which is slipping faster each year.

Mapics was still an IBM product.

I'm trying to fill in the historical timeline for the MAPICS Purchasing 
application. I know that it was originally written by GMD, and became part of 
MAPICS in 1984. But what happened to GMD? Were they acquired? Do they still 
exist today? When did IBM (or whomever) acquire the Purchasing "intellectual 
property" (source code)?
