A worthy addition to the pot, there, RD.
What would be nice is if we could hear about the prices of all these nice (and some, sadly, not so nice) systems (eg, E-MAT, HECS, SEMS, Optim ... and all the rest - including the ones from the States). It needn't be the actual price, just something relative, "ball-park" or whatever. Someone fancy kicking it off? I would do it myself, but I honestly don't have a clue what these commercial systems ring in at.

Now that I've had a go with Optim EMS v4 myself, I can report that I like the "filters" idea (SQL code). I also like the flexibility it offers in allowing you to pick which data fields you want displayed in a browse. Very nice. Features like this appeal to my belief that modern systems should be as configurable (by the user) as possible.
As previously mentioned by others, I can confirm that you need someone on the staff to be able to do that SQL coding. Yes, it "does" stock control, but so do many other packages (some of them ancient). It is a workable system, but there again so is (was) SEMS, HECS and most of the others (especially if, like me, you like to have a play with this type of stuff). However, I haven't noticed any Risk Factor elements yet, and I haven't got a clue how much it all costs. Is it value for money? I doubt it ... but who knows? All in all (as far as I'm concerned), the comments I posted a year ago still stand!
