Recently I had Gidd and his colleague David Sanders demo the product to me and it does look very impressive. Definitely worth checking out if you aren't already committed to implementing ITSM 7 as in if you have already purchased ITSM 7... [EMAIL PROTECTED] is everything Gidd says, and most of it resides on the Core Remedy AR System Server - so you got to invest very little in other third party core technologies to implement it.. Besides the functionality and the aesthetic value of their system what I like most is the time taken to implement it... With that kind of a timeframe, you do not have to be ready to gear for another project to update the system with your changing business needs by the time you are ready to deploy your applications.. (RANT) which is how Remedy applications 'used' to be... Joe

The best possible solution would help us focus on the Best Practices or Industry Standards for “common tasks” such as standing up new servers, decommissioning items from Data Center and moving items within the data center. This tool would help us both document our current “workflows” (preferably by loading task group templates that have already been created in Change Management) and allow us to compare and contrast that to Industry Standards as well as plan future improvements. Is there anything out there like that already?
