A testimony from John Carroll, Manager of Information Technologies, Conwed Plastics on the use of Baan Hot Link

Getting that "other" data from within Baan is not easy, if not impossible. This issue surfaced many times over the years, and there seemed to be no clear solution — until we discovered Baan Hot Link, which was the right answer at the right time.

Baan Hot Link from NAZDAQ delivers a simple but powerful capability into the hands of a Baan user to access data from outside Baan. From the IT perspective, it is an excellent choice. We installed and tested it in a short time.

It is affordable.

It does exactly what it is supposed to.

It is easy to understand, implement, and use.

We quickly found uses for Hot Link in customer order entry — which is where we were originally looking for a solution — but we discovered several more applications beyond the original one, like Purchasing, Warehousing, and others. Clearly, this is a tool we expect to use for a long time.

Baan Hot Link is changing the way we use Baan at Conwed Plastics. We now have an avenue of information access for users we were not able (at least easily) to open before. Good stuff. I check the NAZDAQ website regularly to see what they are going to come up with next.
