Re: data collection systems (alternatives to MDCC) -- MAPICS-L

We have the highjump product, old v5.1 running on W2003. Very stable
and reliable Give them a call, I understand the product has been
given a new lease on life.

In my opinion all the green screen transactions should be ported to
run independently from a pc (no session or lic required) and should
not require buying any bloatware or terminals.

Just be aware, the MDCC is recommended solution from INFOR at this
time.
All other software is finding it more difficult to integrate as INFOR
focuses on its partners.

Hi Vic,

Prior to implementing MDCC, we used Kronos very successfully, for
several
years. Kronos did require special terminals at the time, but it was
possible to have transactions entered directly from a PC if you
wanted to do
so, and the data flowed through to PMC. Also, at FFT, we developed
a couple
custom screens, using standard PMC input as the base, to gather
transactions. That was pretty easy to do. I'm not sure if that's
what you
are looking for, but I'd be pleased to go into more detail if you are
interested. The technology has really improved a lot that way
recently.

Management has seen MDCC and wants to know (for comparison purposes)
if
there are other data collection systems that integrate w/XA. Not
interested in any systems that require specialized time clocks/data
terminals, PC based systems are a best fit for our shop floor. Thanks.
