Leah: Possibly... Michael,
PLEASE take a step back (or three or four hundred).... I would NEVER make a recommendation for an ERP system even if (A LOT) more information was provided because i simply don't have the level of expertise. And I doubt anyone on this list would attempt to make a serious recommendation based on a blanket statement or request in the email. And based on the statement in the original email "I don’t expect a lot of analysis here" nor do I think the orginal sender had intended for anything more than probably the way I answered it.... My response was simply an answer based on the two components I have enjoyed working with the most in my career... Now that the hornets nest has been stirred, perhaps the original sender (Ken Cox, [email protected]) can correct me if I'm wrong or provide further clarification about his original email. I certainly understand how members might want to stay behind the scenes when others give the type of response you did.... I feel like taking a step back to obscurity myself... Whew..... ________________________________ From: Leah Halpin <[email protected]> To: Michael Mattias/LS <[email protected]>; EDI-L <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, March 28, 2011 7:34:32 PM Subject: Re: [EDI-L] <MISC> ERP and EDI Translator correspondence It would mean that they are basing their recommendation on their experience, be it wide or narrow, shallow or deep.

I had to infer "compatibility." What would it mean to ask for an ERP system recommendation without specifying so much as the industry? Worse.....what would it mean were someone to actually MAKE a recommendation under these conditions? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
