The inability to acquire a direct connection to a database is severely limiting in a thousand ways. It great affects my core business and forces us to find ways to use standard reports saved to files for processing or if possible custom exports to discrete export files if exporting is even allowed in the ERP. God forbid, the erp that only saves reports as PDF files.
I fear this will be a bigger and bigger issue going forward unless something changes. Can you get VPN access to the server data via the cloud provider? I have seen some that make that option available (with an additional fee, of course). Paul H.

If so which service and what tools are you liking so far? We are being pushed hard to jump to the cloud and I don't know how we are goig to do a lot of the necessary things around the ERP that we do. We are told it is a SaaS experience and we are disconnected from a direct db hookup. There is a tool they wrote, ION, and we will have to work through that. Happy Happy Joy Joy! Not sure how we are going to roll our pricing update at the end of each month. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
