NATIONAL NEWS                        

Applix BOSS '02 Conference  ....FEATURE ARTICLE......

The Applix BOSS (Business Optimization Software Summit) 2002 was held November 5-6 in Cambridge, MA.  Decision Systems along with other Applix Partners sponsored this informative event.

 

Event Highlights

Most notable was how Integra has now taken center-stage with Applix.  Even TM1 is clearly in the hearts and minds of Applix Senior Management.  This time folks, we are seeing more action than words.  Evidenced by the astute hiring of senior executives who really know something about selling and marketing products like TM1 including:  Fred Sullivan, VP of North American Operations; Dave Menninger, VP of Marketing.  Hold on to your seat belts, long-time TM1 users. Things are moving in the right direction, FAST! 

 

Most educational was the session on TM1 advanced cube rules by Greg Wilson and Manny Perez of Applix. For the PowerPoint presentation click here

 

Most informative was, as usual, the user presentations, where one could see TM1 put to use by real people, solving real-world business problems.  Perhaps Applix will make these user presentations available for viewing by those who could not attend?  We can only hope.

 

Most intriguing was the demonstration area where one could preview Integra, TM1 8 along with TM1 Partner solutions  Dynamo!, decisionport and PolyVista.  Do you know what BPM stand for?

TM1 Gets a mention

Not only has TM1 made it to the front page of the Applix web site, it's being recognized by a number of industry magazines and publications.   Check it out!

PERSPECTIVES - by Seemore TM1 

 

Word on the street is that Santa will be updating his TM1 price list after Christmas 2002 and it won't matter if you've been naughty or nice; It will soon cost you more to buy TM1.  Thank you Applix for a great BOSS '02 conference.  Next time, let's try someplace warmer and not during a close week and the month we're finishing our annual plan!  By the time Santa pays you a visit, TM1 8.1 will have been released...Halleluiah!  Attention...Attention Please... Santa has left the building... and it's safe to upgrade to version 8.  Yes, there are new TM1 users in the Midwest.  Who might you ask? Seemore used to have to get clearance before disclosing such facts from those running the "stealth marketing program".  Tune-in next month to see if things have changed.  Kudos to Applix for hiring Dave Menninger as VP Marketing.  Menninger's resume includes stints at IRI (Express) and Oracle. Oracle purchased IRI's Express a few years back for lots of bucks.  Seems like Dave knows something about sales too.
