Information Systems in Management Science

This is the final column that I will be doing in the series. Because I am no longer primarily involved with computers, I find that I am not competent to deal with some of the technical issues that this column should discuss. I recently reviewed a proposal for Bristol-Myers that involved remote job entry. The last technical information that I had was several years old and indicated that remote job entry was not a reasonable tool for commercial jobs. When I checked my contacts for information about RJE, everyone told me that both the hardware and the software were there to support it, that many people were using it and that it should cause no problems. I feel that the editor of a column must have current knowledge.
