"PICK / U2 Hits"? Any "ERP Light" applications out there? Hello folks, A good number of years ago, there used to be a published list / document / book of various PICK / U2 "Solutions Providers" or Value Added Resellers and ISV (aka Independent Software Vendors) listing the VAR or ISV, their vertical markets served, and descriptions of the applications they provided, (I think it was called "PICK HITS" or something like that?). Is there anything similar produced/published these days? It would appear that such a document would be an excellent vehicle for the continued proliferation of the "multi-valued" market. (IBM U2 Marketing - where are you?) I too am out of work, but in discussions with a small local MFG type operation about an IT Manager opportunity. One of the main aspects they're looking for in this IT Manager position is someone to find, and implement an "ERP Light" application. It should be noted these folks have previously attempted a Epicor solution that they were "sold" that when it came time to implement, they "discovered" that this Epicor product did not do what this company needed at all. This company was "promised what they wanted it to do could be done", but then learned well AFTER shelling out big $$, (after expected delivery time of the mod's), that what they wanted was not currently possible, but could be attained with 10X the previously shelled out "big $$" and a "couple of years" of development time from the Epicor "development team". Needless to say, that implementation fell flat on its face, and now they're out looking again. Looking for something that does Sales Orders and Sales History, Inventory Control, AP / AR Financials and maybe a few other basic MFG type related applications. Surprisingly, these folks are not using any pre-existing package, but using a lot of home grown type spread sheet based improvised solutions. Ideas? Suggestions? Thank you. - -- Regards, Scott Richardson ************************************** Sr. Systems Engineer * IT Consultant Marlborough, MA 01752 CheetahFTL can be contact at comcast.net ************************************** ------------------------------ End of U2 Users Digest V1 #2619 ******************************* ------------ u2-users-digest mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ________________________________________________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This communication and any accompanying attachments contain privileged and confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose.
