    Jeff,

    We took a good hard look at Futurion's offering a couple years ago, and
    really liked it.   It fit our requirements very well, web-based, very
    flexible, integrated.   There were two reasons we didn't acquire
    it.    1)
    Budget was cut (sigh), and 2) My backer in Sales and Marketing resigned.

    I thought they had an excellent solution, for a reasonable cost.

    Unfortunately, I can't find them on the web anymore!  I don't know if
    they
    merged, vanished, or I just can't locate them!

        Hey group

        We are looking to improve our forecasting methods.

        We currently look at sales history and trend , average the last few
    months
        and use this figure.

        We'd like to explore a more statistical method.  If you are using a
        package or would suggest one, we'd like to hear about it.   We would
    also
        like as seamless as possible interface to MAPICS XA.

        Thanks in advance for any information.
