Bob,

I would take a good look at SolarSoft (formerly CMS) from Toronto CA. We


have migrated SEVERAL customers from MAPICS to CMS and they are very
happy. Nearly all are automotive accounts. They integrate very will with
EDI and you can use either PC based or i based EDI. Best results with the
i based setup though (same reasons that i is always better.)

ERP Vendors






Due to a name change, our current ERP vendor wants to charge us an
exorbitant license transfer fee.

I am looking for suggestions of ERP/EDI solutions that run on the System i
and are tailored for automotive suppliers.

Do not suggest MAPICS or Future/3...thanks.



P.S. Has anyone heard of/are using IQMS? I know.it's not a System i
solution, just curious.
