Title: RE: Mercator Export Capabilities

Funny. Sometimes these decisions aren't about the best technology that's available. Often times the technology itself doesn't really matter. What matters most is cost. Someone makes a decision to take a different trajectory, because of financial reasons that hopefully will materialize downstream. And it is a raging debate within a major telecommunications company, which product is better. I'm sure you can argue either way. This takes added significance if we are wedded to the software, if we have a investment in the current infrastructure. I think if we step back for a minute and consider, there may be other issues. As for instance the network effects, maybe Enterprise has positive externalities that outweigh the Mercedes type effect. I'm only suggesting that the decision may not necessarily be the mapper.   I support my clients in making the best decision, but once that's over we move on and get the job  done.   Wesley  ----- Original Message ----- From: Anthony Beecher To: 'Wesley Holder' Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 2:34 PM Subject: RE: Mercator Export Capabilities Folks maybe you can help me, too... I'm driving a new Mercedes and I'm thinking of replacing it with a '74 Pinto. Does anyone know if I can pull the airbags from the Merc and put them in the Pinto? Seriously though, I urge you to find out more about the tool you have before you throw it out. You probably have a very good reason for that migration, but I can't think of one, offhand...
