Title: RE: OT - BMC-Remedy Tech Support Rant
**
Claire:
 
We do run into a bad support tech every once in a while.  I went to the same oil change place for a long time.  One time they forgot to tighten the oil plug and I lost two quarts of oil before I realized that there was a major oil leak.  One time they forgot to put on the filter (yes they did).  When they filled the car and started it, there was one five quart oil mess.  And they had to pay for clean up and repair of the car.  Luckily, it was not mine.
 
So, bad support can happen anywhere.

James,
 
The resolution to my first problem was to check a box on install.  It took them 5 days to get me that....  They had all my logs.  They has screen shots.  I don't contact support "lightly"  when I contact them, I send them everything they need up front!
 
In the past, I have been one of the most vocal supporters of Remedy Tech Support. 
 
Hey!  I said it was a Rant!

I would offer that strong cup of coffee, but it would be very cold by the time it gets to you.

BTW, if you think that BMC is not working your issue just because you don't have a support tech on the phone, you would be sadly mistaken.  I've received e-mails that were sent out at 2 a.m.

I was always under the impression that support was going "follow the sun".  Guess not!  Heck, if smaller business that are not international can provide 24/7 support, at a reasonable cost, you have to wonder why major international corporations can't.

Very interesting... And probably a coincidence, 10 minutes after my post hit the list, I had a response from someone in Tech Support for my new ticket.

PS.  Thanks Kim for calling and calming me!  :)

I'm going to go get a nice strong cup of coffee.

So the question is.......why can I not get 24x7 support now? I hate to beat that drum once a year, but for what we pay for support, and they outsource that support around the world, would it not be a good time to finally make this 24x7?
