I'm chatting with a potential client who's dumped close to $500,000 on a
"big blue" kind of "industry leader" ERP solution, only to hate it.
Would be nice to get that gig.

A second for WhiteLight. By procuring a company like Rick's rather than an
individual you're much more likely to have continuity.
I'm looking forward to hearing how many millions they end up spending
trying to get an ERP solution to do what their current solution does before
realizing they're wasting their money.

Normally I would say volunteer (and I kinda still am) but I've been busy
recently so not much free time. I use Rick Schummer's WhiteLight
Computing company to assist me with C#, WestWindWeb Connection, and
other work when needed. I can't say enough good things about Rick and
his team. I know I'm finally dealing with great respected professionals
(and not the posers I dealt with in the past).

I support an application called Quick Aviation. It is a VFP application
based on SBT Accounting and designed for by Aerospace MRO shops.
Essentially our customer sends a part for a jet engine and we will
repair, overhaul or test the part based upon Similar to ERP with the
exception that we never know what parts will be needed.
Quick Aviation was independently written and we bought the code. As you
can imagine there have been all sorts of enhancements and custom reports
written. Originally written for FoxPro for Windows it runs under VFP6,
with a great deal of additional reports and "add-ons" being written in
VFP9.
We have approximately 150 users on the system. Being ran on a VMWare
virtual server.
We ship thousands of parts per month and typically have over 2,000 orders
in process.
Since I am the only person supporting the application and we are part of
a
very large aerospace concern, management is concerned with it's
"stability" and ability to grow with the business. (We all know there
should be no issues with that!) Also they want to insure that the
application is fully is properly supported.
Am not sure how this would be setup, but I would envision having a
person
available to provide support, user requested enhancements and report
writing. Perhaps some sort of monthly fee with additional fees for
completed projects.
Not sure how long this would last, management is eyeing one of the big
ERP
packages. Our users like Quick Aviation .
Would appreciate any additional feedback, plus am interested as to how
other organizations might handle this situation....
TIA,
Desmond
