This is LUDACRIS!!!!! I will definitely also keep this is mind with the clients I do support because it is too frustrating dealing with people who won't have a clue besides the limited training they do receive and then expect to resolve our issues. This is just another corporate way to save money by decreasing jobs for people right here in the good old USA and increase their pockets. Besides the CEO only make about 1.5 million a year he may need a little more because the market is bad........ Some things suck and only get worse as time goes forward. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 4:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: I Am Outraged! - BMC/Remedy is Outsourcing Support!! Importance: High Hello community, I have it on good authority from one of my contacts at BMC that they will be starting to outsource their support to Pune, India and Dublin, Ireland very shortly. Am I the only one who is outraged by this? Our company already pays an unconscionable amount of money for Remedy Support. If they start to outsource I can guarantee you that our company will stop paying for support altogether next year because they will be diminishing the value of this support drastically but our maintenance fees will not be discounted. So THEY will be saving a ton of money by giving us compromised support but they will not be compensating us in any way (and we just renewed our maintenance contract before I was told of this!). In my experience, the second most valuable thing besides the actual AR System platform from Remedy is their support teams and infrastructure. If BMC is going to start carving the support infrastructure up and outsourcing it, then thay are going to lose the second most valuable pool of Remedy professionals next to the engineers themselves. What is BMC thinking? The executives are obviously boneheads who have NO IDEA of the value of the Remedy AR System product line and the Remedy support infrastructure. I have emailed Bob Beauchamp but have not had a response from him regarding this direction. If we can no longer rely on the past stellar support for this product, which is critical to us in our rapid development environment, we are going to seriously consider moving to another development platform entirely where they have on-site American/English speaking professionals - not underpayed call centre (KB screen-reader) reps who have no understanding and no context of the platform, and no relationships & restricted escalation paths with the Remedy software engineering community. As a longtime customer, I am personally outraged by this move and I am insulted that BMC has not contacted us nor have they solicited feedback on this initiative. What does everyone else think? (Please, EVERYONE chime in on this) What can we do to get BMC to keep their existing support infrastructure and stop them from farming out their support to people who can not even speak clear American English?
