That is true. I have went through that process before during the ITSM 5.x rollout. Previously, my organization used a "home grown" ARS app. However, in that case we decide to archive the old data since there was such a huge gap between what ITSM 5.x looked and felt like compared to the "home grown" app. I was hoping (really hoping) that the data from Helpdesk and Change Management would be more portable. Is this not the case, or are the apps so different that the data will not work in the new ITSM 7 apps.?

That is accurate, but you have to consider the data that exists in
your current system.  Even if you convince the business to change, you
will have legacy data that will have to be dealt with, one way or
another.

downloaded from Remedy Support on the ITSM 7 apps.  I would guess my
time line should be geared toward a new implementation and not an
upgrade.  Meaning whatever processes my organization went through in the
last roll out will need to be duplicated, with an emphasis on business
process changes and training.  Is that accurate?

Thanks
