Even better.<br /><br />That you serve the client - also good for you. That you are a pioneer in hosted services, good for you. <br /><br />The you have a client or two that might assign the term ERP to an application that may not compete in the sector as typically defined...well, it's not for me to say whether they attribute the functionality that you deliver as helping them "plan" their enterprise resources! But there are certain benchmarks from the supply chain perspective - forecasting accoring to certian GMP standards, etc.<br /><br />As far as EDI and VAN interconnect, EDIINT, and the whole managed commerce sector, its great that you support the X12 standard. Most PAAS does not.<br /><br />Will Workxpress be SAAS 70 certified?<br /><br />Regarding MY retained clients and fees:<br /><br />I am not marketing a service to the public, I am a channel sector analyst servicing software vendors, and few end users. When any of my statements are declaratory of 'fitness for an intended purpose', you bet your ass that I disclose. I also have a client list on my blogs.<br /><br />The PAAS companies want businesses that have capital line of business needs to eschew incumnbent architectures, and go the hosted route. My aim is to point out that many PAAS, SAAS, and clound app companies are in no position to offer CLOB services. They are not rated, certified, insurable, underwritable, and are often thinly capitalized. <br /><br />Na, Na, Na....before you say that workxpress hasn't taken a dime of VC and that's better because.....x, be careful. Or open you books to to the ISO or the other data center ratings agencies. Voluntary vulnerability tests don't count.<br /><br />It's all good.

You will be pleased to know that another "ERP" application is rolling out over the next 10 days, I'd be happy to connect you with that happy customer as well :).<br /><br />Regarding payment, our customer certainly paid us for the product, but the case study was not in any way paid for. As hard as this may be to believe, they are actually quite happy - no programming required! Out of curiousity, do you divulge your financial contributors? Would you like to meet that customer?<br /><br />fyi, The case study in question can be found on our WorkXpress website.<br /><br />Allen, please keep in mind that we are genuinely focused on solving the customers problems, and enjoy seeing them be successful. I'm pretty certain thats a formula for business success.<br /><br />Regarding EDI...what about it? We have customers that use WorkXpress to make and receive EDI transmissions...its not actually a big deal.<br /><br />TreffTreff LaPlantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700135299531201653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489645468065669928.post-70458426524971259702009-06-10T07:04:13.792-07:002009-06-10T07:04:13.792-07:00what am I trying to say here?

If they are going to bandy about the term, "ERP", shouldn't they have the minimum features of rapid replenishment and forecasting?<br /><br />Workxpress is spamming the world over a case study, oh what ever! <br /><br />No EDI?
