Thanks,
I was more interested in if IBM is going to help promote Cross Worlds product/capability? I do have my own impression that Cross World is struggling and I've read about the hubby and wife team in Fortune who has kindly painted a skeptical picture of their future. Hubby is a big time Vulture Capitalist with an attractive (and probably sharp) wife. Unfortunatly the picture painted is one of a high class barrio bucket shop graduate pimping his wife to those with too much dough to get involved with the nitty gritty.
I got involved with a "almost decision" to map over a Sybase product to our Anderson MRP (ERP software) at the recomendation of a "bleeding edge MIS director" we had at the time. Thank goodness we made our decision contingent upon third party review (Edwards) and found out we would have spent 10 times the amount orignally projected, thus dropped the project and went back to plain Jane code writing. My perception of these EAI intergrations is having the core "EAI application" mapped to the market leaders data/file structures.
I'm still trying to understand NEON, however I'm attracted to their progress with SAP and the Convoy acquisition of Peoplesoft as well as what they are doint with Windows NT.
In at mid 13's and want to make sure I feel comfortable to get on for the long haul (as I think the next few months will be a bit bumpy).
Best Regards,
Mad2

BTW I can't really imagine many organizations buying new ERP license's/applications other than upgrades and or acquisitions in the next year. All manufacturing organizations have been dealing with their systems and y2k issues for the past 3-5 years. Those worth their salt either programed out of the problem (minority) or upgraded to PS, MRP, SAP etc.... and will be wedded to their current vendor for upgrades and or building applications off the core product (ie market for EAI tools)
