- Does anyone have knowledge of a firm or a person who have made a
- program for controlling configurations, interfaces etc.
-
- It is very difficult (in the world of open systems) to manage all the
- combinations when putting a system together. Given you have choosen a
- specific hardware solution: which operating system, database system
- and office system could/should you choose? And the applications: what
- are their requirements for memory, disksize or network? All together
- there are a lot of interfaces that has to fit, and the problem (I
- think) will grow with time.
-
- The program I`m looking for should be able to help a salesman to ask
- the right questions regarding the customers equipment, and it should
- be able to make a consistence check of a salesoffer (total
- configuration), and thereby minimize the posibility of making a fatal
- configuration.
-
- IBM has an internal system (Configurator) which assists the
- configuration of customers machines. Does anyone know of a commercial
- product with this or a similar functionality.
-
- Thanks in advance!
