RETAILERS TURN OUT FOR PDI'S IDEA EXCHANGE
Nashville, Tennessee (May 2006)
Over 100 PDI customers and special
guests attended the 11th annual
PDI Idea Exchange on May 21 - 22nd. PDI's Idea Exchange
is one of two annual events
held to update
customers on PDI's software development plans and gather
feedback for use in future
development efforts.
 PDI is in the final stages of a five year re-write of its core
software applications.
The new software, PDI/Enterprise, will
be largely complete by the Users Conference
in August. To date,
over 70 customers started the migration process by successfully
implementing the PDI/Enterprise Financial suite and are looking
forward to the full implementation of PDI/Enterprise.

 In
addition to PDI/Enterprise updates, PDI showed customers its next
generation handheld software. An overwhelmingly favorable response was
expressed for PDI/Store Assistant
3.0's new features and benefits.
PDI/Store Assistant 3.0 is scheduled for release in July.
