I had a friend that tried to get me on there with him a few years back. It ended up not being a good fit for me at the time so I didn't pursue the opportunity. They sound like an interesting place to work and my friend was happy there at the time. I haven't heard from him in a couple years so I can't comment on current conditions. He did say that the stress level can be rather high as all of the their clients are rather large and write large checks. So small problems and outages can be a really big deal. They do outsourcing of back-end processing for retail stores and application hosting. Safeway comes to mind, I remember reading an article on their association with Tomax a number of years ago. So their cash registers link up to Tomax for back-end processing and storage of transactions, I think they do inventory forecasting as part of that. Hopefully that gives you a little more to go on. I should see if I can get in touch with my friend again and see if he still works there. --Henry /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
