Wow, SSDS. I used to work for them, including through their various acquisitions by BTG Inc, Titan Corp, and finally L-3 Communications. They were never very big, but they had talent like Tim Widowfield and Chad Whilding among many others. Weird to hear that name again.

At that time, Sun owned 25% of Remedy, so the classes were at the Sun building in Columbia, MD.

After that my management kindly sent me to the 4 day Admin class and the 1 day User class. They then handed me a brand new system that had been customized by an outside consulting team and said, "Here you go, get this into production." It was kind of like baptism by fire! LOL! I'm sure many others have jumped into this with as little or less preparation as I had.

There were only two apps (I think); Helpdesk and Asset. Today, I looking at all the manuals if you have the whole ITSM suite, I no longer think that's possible. I'm curious, how many folks started Remedy by just reading the docs, or did most people go out and get formal training.

I wrote the help-desk app for the network ops center, as well as configuration forms, certification forms, lots of stuff. Back then it was a good front-end for a database. We worked with voice communications, so the FCC required a lot of auditing, all of which had to be written. I got into Remedy as a C programmer who didn't have a project at the moment. I was horrified to find no Else statements built into the system. I can't remember when that came along, but it was quite an advance in programming. We worked with HP-UX and an early version of Oracle. Installation of just about anything was a bear, but once all the ducks were lined up it went well. Ever since then I've worked with the ARS. Now it's quite sophisticated in comparison with the old days. On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 4:39 PM, Daniel Bloom <[email protected]> wrote: >From a bit of googling ..... Remedy Corp.
