I believe new management came in and decided to totally re-write everything is something else (SQL?) I do not know the details, but I know that EVERYONE I have ever spoken with was glad to be gone after the change. What went from a fun place to work became a hostile place to work, management was trying to fix a huge package that was not broken, etc. etc.
Again, I personally was never there, but I work with and have worked with dozens who were there. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 3:37 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Recognition for Rocket and Rocket's U2 in dual rankings today!

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.
