Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Thanks, Rick. I'll have to deal with that last bullet during my regular therapy sessions.

Obviously, some of those might be more useful than others. ;-) I wish you well.

Tomorrow, I am briefing my chain-of-command (paycheck signers) on our Remedy 6.3 system and current issues. One topic will be the "pros and cons" of upgrading ARSystem and/or ITSM from 6.x to 7.x. I've done an upgrade of the server portion before, and I can handle that. What I need would be: Why it is a good idea to attempt an upgrade of ITSM. I have the "What's New" documents, etc., but can't find any really good summary of what would be gained (versus pain incurred in the upgrade/migration process) to make it worthwhile, especially in a one-man shop. I just need bullet-type talking points. Quick replies would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Michael W.
