What you might have where 'on site required' is part of an "EDI <anything>" position is because the user does not have a good "spec" as to what he really wants and the "EDI <anything>" is going to be required to squeeze "what I really want" out of Suzy User and the rest of the business.
That is, remote is fine if the contractor/consultant understands your business - and I mean really understands YOUR business - and YOU know exactly what you want/need...... but there is nothing which can replace a consultant/contractor working alongside Suzy User if you need to figure out what Suzy and the rest of your business really need. I've seen more than enough cases where "the previous guy" could not figure these things out... and he/she WAS "full time on site" Could also be a system (I've seen these, too), where the "system is down and needs immediate attention" a WHOLE LOT MORE THAN IT EVER SHOULD BE. (That's also "the previous guy" at work). Then again, the user might just be someone who wants to make sure you are available for "meetings," something I know every consultant LOVES. Nothing quite like a "meeting" to demonstrate how you can cram five minutes of productivity into a full hour. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
