Our senior developer Dave Shellman was also asking about the ODBC driver that gets instlaled with the client. I guess that's going away. A LOT of people use this...

I agree with Chris. We also create many ad hoc reports that we export to excel. This is simple on the fat client but difficult on the web. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of strauss Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 12:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: End of Life for BMC(R) Remedy(R) User (Windows-based client) I guess that might be the end of the line for us - as long as the central helpdesk needs to have a support console and multiple tickets open simultaneously for a combination of walk-in customers, callers, and resolution transactions, the current crop of web browsers are completely inadequate for that purpose. We had them try to use the 7.1 mid-tier when we migrated to 7.x last year, and they gave it a full thumbs down on everything except speed. The helpdesk manager (and we in the admin shop) are fairly dependent on the rapid export of ad-hoc reported data to .csv for manipulation in Excel, and I don't see the web interface being adequate for that anytime soon. There will have to be some revolutionary changes in both web browsers and the mid-tier before abandoning the User Tool is anything but a pipe dream.
