[QUOTE="AirTechSpec, post: 533290, member: 5232"] We have one VB6 app that's being considered. Technically it's not a complex program. It displays flight info on big-screen lcds. However, there are possible problems for global sourcing: [LIST=1] [*]There are at least two business units as "customers" (Flt Ops and A/C Mx). [*]It depends on non-standard hardware and OS setup (Up to 4 displays, auto-start, auto-login). One installation requires a closed-circuit TV setup because of distance from PC to monitors. [*]Users want displays in ANC in addition to three existing in SDF. [*]The app was originally developed by IE using contractors. Code quality is questionable. [*]We don't have enough Business Analysts to take the time to understand the business need and get good requirements. [*]It uses data from three different sources, managed by different teams. [/LIST] I think these kind of issues are going to be the big stumbling block for ALM and "global" work. [/QUOTE]
