VAR Consultants (V8)

We are located in Ossining, NY (about 10 minutes north of the Tappan
Zee Bridge) and have been working with MSS for for over 2 years.
They have assisted us in many areas of Vantage. Anna Slepecky, knows
Vantage very well; I highly recommend her... having said that, don't
book her so much that she won't have time for us when we need her.

I can't get no....satisfaction

from our Epicor consultant. He rarely returns calls, and if so, it is
weeks later. He doesn't follow up on action items/commitments made
during his visits (we're still waiting from 21 April). We haven't even
the tacked-on-hour-of-"consulting" Trip Report.

We're thinking of using Earnest & Associates
<http://www.earnestassoc.com/> for our consulting needs instead. Has
anyone used them or some other non-Epicor firm? What was your
experience like? People to avoid? People to request?

I appreciate any feedback.

You must have the same consultant that Joe Rojas got <g>.

Call your CAM and tell him that the level of service you're getting from
Consulting is completely unacceptable. He can probably shake loose a
better consultant for you.

And if it is the same guy, perhaps Epicor will send him packing. They
don't need anymore low-performers.

have fun,
john

There are plenty of good consultants around (ok, I think i'm one of
them but thats for the client to decide...) so shop around!

The only problem with Earnest and Associates is the experience with
Vantage. I could be wrong but I don't think they know it.

What area are you in?

Manasa,

Upon further review of Earnest website, I concur: it seems they sell
Vantage, but don't mention support.

We are in Stratford, Conn. (right next to sunny Bridgeport).

I also found

Manufacturing Systems Services <http://mfgsystem.com/>
PO Box 251
Medina, OH 44258-0251
1-800-875-4654 · 330-725-0043 · Fax 330-725-0080


Their website looks promising, but they are in rainy Ohio. We would
prefer someone closer.

Thoughts?

I forget her name that owns that company, but I have heard good things
about her. I want to say her first name is Anna.

Good luck!
