One of the things that has been really great about STL is the accurate and wide ranging product information and the ability to be able to access this electronically. It is good to know that this will continue.<br />Have a great ChristmasGeoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504553534973577150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108526847308797407.post-43012206771773873212009-12-24T11:50:05.574+00:002009-12-24T11:50:05.574+00:00Geoff

Among these would certainly be the belief that one new software package could solve a number of complicated business problems that had been evolving for years. Clearly the reality has proved to be somewhat different and our current priority is to stabilize the business on a system that we already know can operate it. Once Informix is back in place there will be regular technology reviews and upgrades as necessary.<br /><br />As to the stability of Informix as a platform, that is not in doubt. There are three main database vendors in the world (Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM) and Informix is a major product offering from one of them, IBM. A new version of the database platform (IDS v11.5) was released in May 2008, and IBM has publicly stated its ongoing intention to develop Informix and market it as part of its product portfolio.<br /><br />As we move into 2010, we will talk in more detail about all of our plans. In the meantime we are confident that the coming year will prove to be a better one for the wider ministry we are all involved in.<br /><br />Many thanks<br /><br />STLD Blog TeamTrust Media Blog Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084616784716797720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108526847308797407.post-10134269517319146902009-12-24T10:56:55.742+00:002009-12-24T10:56:55.742+00:00John

The site you refer to has no connection whatsoever with the parent trust to John Ritchie Ltd, who in fact have no web site at all, although search engines will bring up one or two articles on other sites.<br /><br />The Lord’s Work Trust would not in any way espouse the views expressed about the King’s James Version on the site you have been looking at, so there is no cause for concern over our continued stocking of a wide variety of translations.<br /><br />Many thanks<br /><br />STLD Blog TeamTrust Media Blog Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084616784716797720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108526847308797407.post-27116260211640815762009-12-23T18:47:02.322+00:002009-12-23T18:47:02.322+00:00I've just been working up your company/trust f...I've just been working up your company/trust family tree through John Ritchie and up to The Lord's Work Trust. I see on TLWT's website that it, your ultimate parent, believes strongly that all English Bible translations bar the KJV are, to quote, '(per)versions' of scripture. Does this mean that you'll be seriously reducing your stock of other translations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108526847308797407.post-2709770352668935102009-12-23T17:46:16.565+00:002009-12-23T17:46:16.565+00:00Hi Ken,

STL repeatedly told us that this old system was outdated and on its very last legs. Does this mean that this is a move backwards? Also will it mean yet another period of disruption to the supply side?<br />Secondly, are you committed to retaining the Synergi stock system and also improving it still further? This is a superb programme and Daphne and the team do an excellent job in supporting the shops.<br />Finally, can I draw from your statement that the ASM's (and in particular our excellent rep, Roger)will still have a role to play with the new company.<br /><br />Thank youGeoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504553534973577150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108526847308797407.post-15227655164163549662009-12-23T15:34:13.885+00:002009-12-23T15:34:13.885+00:00SAP disbanded?
