Liant, Micro Focus, AcuCorp, Fujitsu, Hitachi and IBM are among those leading the charge. Presently we are converting our systems to run on Windows NT machines. The list of platforms of the past has included Texas Instruments 990s, IBM System 36, SCO Xenix, TI Unix, and HP Unix. Migration took little or no code changes and no recompiles. We recruit most of our programmers from the local colleges and universities.
Competition is a challenge.
Dealerships are individually owned and they are free to choose from a variety of software packages. Our goal is to provide a competitive product at a competitive price. Catalog sales are an important aspect of our business and companies like Wal-Mart Online pose a real competitive threat. Working with a team that fluctuated between four and six members, Todd and his team built a Web site in six months offering online catalog sales using Micro Focus' Net Express. That was one of the primary reasons for choosing Net Express.
