steve ( Old man),

You need to read the articles I posted earlier. All the old volume is not going to be going through the 400 or so dealers. CPQ has not yet decided how much of the business they are going to give to these remaining dealers as opposed to selling direct around them.

This has got to be a constant and nagging worry for the remaining retail channel. When will they get stabbed too?

Maybe CPQ could use some good compression technology to solve the serious bandwidth problems. I can top you on your buzz words.
What is a Gabor basis function and how can it be used to solve CPQ's bandwidth problems?

I know what those "T" numbers are but I'm not going to tell because
I do not think you really know what your talking about. <gggg>

steve, << the volume that went through 5000 dealers and run it through 400 dealers>>

do you see any possibility that the 400 dealers will be overwhelmed, even with the latest edi? Is cpq not worried about losing sale during the transistion?

i am not an expert on edi.
