Page 1 of 4 Hello All; Yes, I've been absent for a few weeks. But I'm back on the road again after a painfully long adventure into an implementation, subsequent removal, and finally a successful deployment. But first, the important issues... My stint was in Denver, Colorado - where I went to school for a couple years. Needless to say, Denver has changed a lot since I was there but I still love the climate, the view of the mountains, and the occasional trip to Red Rocks park. Unfortunately, I'm a little old to go climbing the rocks and spelunking, even though the caves are shallow. While I was there, I visited Buckhorn Exchange (www.buckhorn.com/supper.htm), a restaurant I could only get to very occasionally during my college days (money was always an issue). Buckhorn is a remnant of Denver history with a menu that includes rattlesnake, buffalo steak, rocky mountain oysters, and of course, beef steak. I had to go back several times, partly for old times sake, but mostly for the atmosphere and to work my way through the menu. I can still taste the Elk... But back to business My client had decided to install a full blown EDI system on their own equipment, using their own IT staff, and connecting to their internal ERP system. To be kind, I won't mention the vendor's name, but you would certainly recognize it as a long time player in the EDI software market. |
