Baan's motivation for choosing HP as a partner is based on two things. The high quality of HP's products and HP's strong commitment to the UNIX operating system The prospective of HP's international support. HP chose Baan as a partner for several important reasons: The possibility of expanding new business Baan's leadership in the UNIX operat- ing system market for MRP solutions The financial health of the company and their business attitude. Thinking industrial In the software industry, people should focus on data-directed tasks instead of function-directed tasks. Software. which is being developed for the data environment, is flexible. The Baan soft- ware enables the system and implemen- tation management to assemble the desired version of the software accord- ing to individual wishes. According to Baan, a software product consists of subassemblies such as special func- tions, da'tabases, operating systems, computers, special procedures. etc. Those subassemblies should be replace- able at any time by other, newer and better, products. In Baan's philosophy, the databases must be replaceable, because a new DBMS will come. That is the reason Baan developed their own The Dutch Systemhouse, Baan Info Baan is a successful Dutch system- fourth-generation language (4-GL), Systems (Baan) - an HP VAR since house specializing in UNIXB operating which is database independent.
