SABRE has already approched HP about their systems and were told that they are wanting too much money and to try again. SABRE has several intergrated systems that several area utilize, as does SHARES with HP. Once again, if it doesn't make financial sense HP is not going to go with them, "just because it is easier". QIK transition from even native SABRE based knowledge is very easy and quickly learned.
SHARES is easier for the front line, but is limited in its sub-systems, unless more money is produced to support them. Oh, well........6:1234/12mayphx-smith ...whoopy!
