RE: Time and Attendance

Don't know a thing about Kronos pricing...

But I wonder if the bottom-end 270 could be useful, in this situation...
I've heard $8K list.. maybe $6000 - $7000 after discount.  Best of both
worlds...?!?  It's a lot of money, for what is basically just an I/O
controller...  But could pay for itself in tier savings.  It's so easy to
link 400's and use the little one as a store-and-forward type of deal.

| Look at Kronos' pricing early in the game.
|
| We've been running Kronos on NT at a number of remote locations with a
| simple interface to Lawson.  A few years ago we looked into consolidating
| the NT installations to our main AS/400.  At the time Kronos had a rather
| absurd tier/grid pricing scheme incorporating both usage and CPU tier.
| Since they thought it was acceptable to charge a premium for
| coexisting with
| our large Lawson and merchandising systems on a P40 or P50 tier AS/400 we
| found that we could not afford to move to the AS/400 version.

| We use Kronos also.  Very happy with it.  Got the impression that Kronos
| was quite happy with their 400 version - much more stable.
