I to am a victim of Harbingers latest marketing scheme ("upgrade or get the
boot"). The 800lb. Gorilla I am consulting for would not stand for at and we
are in the process of migrating to Mercator. It is a very interesting piece of
software. If you are in the market for something that is more robust than
traditional EDI then I would suggest taking a look at it.
I would also suggest another package by a company called Seeburger. They have
solutions all the way from traditional EDI to web EDI and XML (they will run on
WIN).

=->I received some documentation this week about the Harbinger e5 upgrade and
=->frankly, I'm PO'd.
=->
=->First, they are essentially demanding we "re-purchase" the system for a
=->reduced price. If we do not upgrade, our current platform (4.1.4) becomes
=->will be unsupported after the end of the year. I'm no lawyer, but isn't this
=->getting awfully close to the definition of extortion?
=->
=->Even more egregious, they demand that our EDI system connect to theirs to
=->"confirm compliance with this license agreement" and to send "information"
=->to Peregrine about our system. Whether we "opt-in" or not is utterly moot,
=->as the information still gets transmitted to them. Am I the only one who is
=->insulted by this? I'm all for electronic licensing and software download,
=->don't get me wrong. But this is more like big brother demanding we "update
=->his records" every month to ensure we aren't somehow "cheating" on our
=->license.
=->
=->We are going to pursue other options. I'd be very interested in hearing
=->about other translation systems that are out there, especially XML-capable
=->ones.
