[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 206781, member: 88"] Sly, I can certainly understand some of your frustration and perception. Folks in Louisville can do a better job at times working with NJ on projects, especially those that are expected to be deployed to gateways around the world. However, do not think anybody in NJ is smarter or more technical than anyone in Louisville. I've worked in both locations, and if fact, I equate a supervisor in Louisville to a manager in NJ. The IT market in Louisville is not the same as NJ/NY and UPS can afford to to pick the best here. Unfortunately, that's changing because of the pay/benefits/retirement changes that has been made, but for the most part it's still true. You also have to realize that the airline demands different standards that the rest of UPS. Not my decision but it's something I have to follow. Worldport is the only location in the world where a 20 minute outage can affect 100,000 NDA packages. We have more reduncancy built there than in a datacenter. Is some of it overkill? IMO yes, but I don't sign the appropriations. Louisville also develops standards that are adopted by corp. The bottom line is, I think your opinion would change if you worked here for a few months. And there are more cows 20 minutes North of the pink palace than in Kentucky. We have horses here :-) [/QUOTE]
