Daniel, In the "View from the Top by Andy Youniss", he list the following; 40% of US institutions of higher education 80% of Mexico’s emergency response systems 70% of North America’s largest independent insurance agencies 80% of automobile dealerships in North America 55% of Fortune 100 companies 50% of the top 400 energy-products companies Except for the Fortune 100 companies, it would seem that the others might be using packaged software. A list of these packages might be interesting. I'm not disputing the numbers but some explanation of how they were calculated would be nice to know. I have a vague idea about the auto dealers and higher education but not the others. I think this illustrates the "I never heard of Pick/multi-value software" comments we hear a lot of because the database is "hidden" from the users. BTW, maybe auto parts and many other wholesalers and retailers should be added to this list. Just my 2 cents,
