Re: Introduction

We have been on JBA since January 1996.  We are currently on 3.5.2b in two
sites operating on two AS/400's, i.e. two complete instances of JBA.  One of
the facilities runs two plants out of the same AS/400.  We use Advanced
Order Entry (heavily modified), Manufacturing (minimally modified),
Warehousing (very few mods), Transport Planning (vanilla, but not used all
that much), and World Trade (actually V2 ported to run under V3, heavily
modified to support SPEX).  We have source code through our current version
and have no intention of continuing with JBA to any future releases as
things now stand. We are VERY knowledgeable about the system since we have
done many mods and a wide variety of custom reports. We have heavily used
JBA's old IPG based report generator, doing things that we think were
probably never envisioned but seem to work pretty well.  We would never
consider continuing with JBA without source code.  We probably won't
continue with JBA in any event.

We have JBA ported to Baan financials, probably unique, as the rest of our
division is on Baan.  Our current game plan would have us move to Baan ERP,
aka Baan 5, over the next couple of years.  We will really miss the product
structure architecture in JBA, but we will welcome an order entry module we
will be able to use with much fewer modifications.

Best,
