What We Are Hearing
3
Clunky / Ugly
Won’t run on 64 bit computers
Doesn’t work with Email
Can’t use my iPad
Can’t use my Smartphone
My business is changing, my software is not keeping up
New AS9100C changes make my QMS software obsolete
I have to call IT to get a report / chart
Inflexible – too rigid
Poor security and audit trails
My old vendor is non-responsiveIt costs more to get the current version
then to buy a new app!
We waited ‘years’ for the new web version
and what we got is very disappointing

Lesson Learned
• Traditional software development that focuses on databases, menus, and screens is obsolete
• Technology must not be a roadblock that
– Requires extensive training
– Requires customization to fit your needs
– Forces people to adapt to the software
• Listen to the people, understand their process, and help them do it better
• Help me do my job !!! (output, not input)
