RE: new cume out for 7.1

[Bob Cagle <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, looking at cloud options is on my list for 2017.  I have questions regarding licensed software (we use JDE World), local printer support, and EDI modem support.  You're already on my short list to call Dr.

Thanks

Absolutely agree with this logic.
Give me a call if you are interested. We can provide i 7.1 2 or 3 and for 5 users you're talking a very small slice of a machine! Then it's no lease, no purchase, no tapes, etc. Really can be very cost effective. 
Our infrastructure is focused on this very small size customer.
