I'm not sure why Ferguson is moving.

RE: [U2] Users of UniVerse
While it is true that Ferguson is on a path to SAP, the rollout is still several years out. Until then, we are still enhancing our current UniData applications. With the rollout dates still uncertain, and the off chance that the change will be cancelled, we aren't about to leave our user base falling behind without new enhancements. Ferguson is moving to SAP so that all Wolseley companies will be on the same package. As far as developers catching the boot left right, that is a stretch. Over the past year, two developers have been dismissed, and both were due to poor performance. A few of others have left on their own for their own reasons, but the rate is no greater than a normal turnover rate. At least one who left attempted to return, but had burned their bridges. We have more developers now than we've ever had, and we're hiring. So, if any quality developers are interested in the challenge of working in an environment with 9 interconnected UniData servers with up to 3500 users and 5000 udt sessions each, look us up.

Re: [U2] Users of UniVerse
Morningside College, in my neck of the woods, uses Aptron on UniVerse. The Aptron web site likely says how many customer sites they have. There are some interesting stories in the history of Aptron, though I know only a little about it. 1) Deb Atkinson Perry, an IBM U2 Sales person now, was the President of the AIMS group when I evaluated the product prior to licensing Datatel software. She had been a user until some users bought out the company when it was otherwise folding. 2) AIMS from Aptron and Colleague from Datatel started with the same code. I do not know the story of how there was a split where the product was developed by two companies independent of each other after some point (if anyone does, I'm curious). After some of the problems that AIMS had in competing with Datatel, several AIMS customers switched to Colleague (Regis University, for example). 3) When choosing where to go from Prime Information, AIMS chose UniVerse and Datatel chose UniData. As for companies using UniVerse, I have worked with a wholesale plumbing and heating company that had Intuit as their VAR, using the Intuit Eclipse product. I suspect that VAR has quite a few customers. --dawn On 4/27/07, Drew Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of the schools out there (can't recall for sure if it was UC-B) used to run Prime Information on Prime systems.

RE: [U2] Users of UniVerse
I would not just limit it to UniVerse. Explain that the multidimensional market is a large market with a number of vendors providing competitive solutions. The multidimension database is largely sold encapsulated in an ISV product hence why it is not heard of a lot. However people will have had contact with a multiple dimensional product frequently. If you get spare parts for your car, your public library, a significant number of international banks, building societies, credit unions run on multidimensional systems. Many government departments, councils and Hospitals use multidimensional systems. If someone uses a Pokie machine in a club, the company that produced the machine is likely to be a user of a multidimensional system. There are a range of ERP, MRP systems using U2 around the world. A majority of University systems use U2. I think that between Intersystems and IBM there are around 12 Million users around the world, but I cannot get my hand to the figures.

RE: [U2] Users of UniVerse
If you google Reynolds and Reynolds and look for articles regarding their RGS product, you'll find the info. Basically, their CEO at the time, nicknamed Buzz, spent the money on this state of the art RGS product which never made money but consumed huge quantities. The fallout was that many of their Basic programming shops had to be closed or consolidated and many of their Basic programmers, myself included, were either relocated or laid off in order to save the company, and still that wasn't enough, as they eventually had to merge with one of their competitors, UCS.
