Third part software will not provide the functionality we desire, for several
reasons.
1. We need to implement this solution for a large varity of dfferent systems,
IA iA, AB, Diamond Power. etc.
2. To the best of my knowledge no third part software stores the data in a
relational database.
3. Als to my knowledge no tird pary software provides web based seacr tools.
4. Also the life span of systems in our mill tends to extend beyond the
comercial existence of many software providers. We have systems that are based
upon comercial software, thatwe do not have source code to, that the software
vendor ahs long ago ceased to exist. This is hugely problematic.
