Hi all,
Now I understand why I haven't seen a sales rep since Geac took over JBA,
I'm not a Style Account.
My 5 year maintenance contract is up. What are other companies doing in
regards to this issue? Is maintenance from GEAC really worth it? Opinions
please.

Apology gladly accepted, Michelle.  Anytime you want to post internal
Geac
emails on the public site, I'm sure everybody would welcome it.  I'm sure
it's a very frustrating situation to be in, still trying to promote the
product while customer after customer looks elsewhere.

Just an opinion
Thanks

Hi all

We have been on System 21 for over 10 years and my company are going
though
an exercise now of looking at new systems, and by December we will have
made
a decision on what our future package will be.

Although System 21 will still be included in our investigation, I think
it
will most probably be replaced by a more modern web-based package.
