[QUOTE="Deeohem, post: 216308, member: 5860"] There's a region IS group? There may be in some regions, but what I've seen come down from our region is Access databases that are less than outstanding. They've had good features, but the internal tables were created by people who never heard of normalization. One of them had entries for every center in the region. which was nice except one of the field was for a district server. When the server got renamed, had to update every center in a district. I kind of agree with Tieguy on HFCS. it's pretty impressive. I kind of wish Louisville was able to finish phasing out the OS/2 workstations. TFCS seems impressive. The only drawback (if it IS a drawback) is that it's still a text-mode mainframe app. Could it be improved if it went GUI? I think the DIAD is good technology. UPS deserves to be proud of it because it is hardware and software that were both developed by UPS. And it was a pretty far-seeing idea. My take on the best technology UPS has produced has to be the back end of all our customer shipping solutions, CRIS/CAMS, etc. They handle all the internet shipping, all the campusship, they keep track of all the Worldship installs out there, etc. They receive all the billing info and hand that off to the billing systems. Lastly, they handle the OPLD info which makes the estimates of what each center will have to deliver on a given day even remotely accurate. [/QUOTE]
