Computer Management--Proactive Management

Condon reports that other attributes of the PSI system that make it attractive to Challenge include the ease and openness by which it extracts needed data and its ability to handle 150-plus workstations with multi-tasking data collection capabilities.

The evaluation: "We have found PSI works very hard to meet all of our computer management needs. Computer management systems are no longer a luxury; they are a necessity. Both external and internal customers are driving this necessity for computer management systems. External customers are demanding an electronic link to your facility for quote requests, job tracking, inventory. Internal customers are demanding information about sales trends, costs, equipment utilization, production standards and just about anything under the sun.
