Rick -

It is a Siebel back end.  This was mentioned during my "support tour" in Pleasanton last week.

I did notice that the email login mirrors what they're using for partner pages - I think it's a Siebel back-end.  I hope I'm wrong.  I hope more that they quickly see the problem behind using email addresses as a permanent primary key.  What are we supposed to do if we change companies, create a brand-new profile?
 
I haven't heard back yet, either.  My guess is that they're shoveling with both hands at the moment, and probably will be most of the week.  This would probably NOT be the best week for us to do an upgrade to a production system if we expect quick support for it.

I see two major issues.


1) I am seeing the wrong Support ID tickets. (Same company, different
department. At least it is that close, but it is just as wrong as me
seeing Rick's tickets.)

2) I am not seeing the Mid-Tier being used....
  What the @[EMAIL PROTECTED] is this ASP/CFM stuff? ( I thought BMC had more
sense than that,  but I guess not.)


Given those two things... How could it be a "Success?" ( It feels like
a BIG step backwards to me. Wrong data, Wrong tech, not "eating their
own dog food".... etc...)
