I can't disagree, but this line went from black/white to gray at least 5 years ago.
Now I regularly get messages on Twitter/Facebook involving more stuff related to work than personal stuff - and in the average week I don't log on to either of those. I suspect FB will be blocked at fewer and fewer companies (at least in the marketing department) and be more and more open as people realize the amount of evangelizing a large employee base can do, as well as mitigate customer horror stories. You may or may not be surprised how many FB accounts - especially those of attractive women - are of course fake and are the "face(s)" of either a large number of company reps and/or marketing people incognito saying just how much the latest Acme widget has made them rich, thin, and gotten the crabgrass out of their lawn.

I am so sick and tired of companies that have their own functioning web site using Facebook as a way of communicating with their customers. My main reason is that FB is blocked here at work. My other reason is that FB should be social, not business. I do not mix business activities with social ones on the internet. Hell... I don't even use my own name for social activities! -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 9:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RFE (No Plans to Implement) I can see using BMCDN polls for this. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shellman, David Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 5:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RFE (No Plans to Implement) ** John, I agree with that. It's pretty easy to build surveys within the AR System. Your product makes it even easier. It also doesn't make sense to use Face Book. It's easier to use the BMC Community portal.

Use a Survey tool http://www.surveymonkey.com Use or develop a service yourself like http://www.surveymonkey.com Surveymonkey is cheap and easy to use versus the cost of your own custom solution, although BMC may disagree :) Put every RFE into surveymonkey and broadcast email to subscribers of the product for voting. 2. Use Facebook - create pages for every BMC product that customers could join to like (good for you and marketing) and then create facebook poll questions when an RFE is created to get friends (customers) feedback. Note: before posting RFE for voting I would also create a process to verify with the originating requestor and R&D that the description of the enhancement is clear and makes sense for the wider audience.

The RFE process needs to be opened up and voted on by paying customers to gauge the real world demand for such enhancements to products. I've opened tons of RFEs and rarely do I hear back on any of them, never to my knowledge has a single one been acted on. They go into no where land.

Are you relying on BMC consulting services or the sales department to gauge and estimate the demand? It seems to me the proper way would be to open the process by having willing customers participating and voting in the process. No offense, but most sales guys (not just BMC, let's be clear on this) only deal with management and they don't really know what users (technical and business users) want.

If an RFE is considered and deferred multiple times, it is an indication that the enhancement request isn't going to be of high enough demand or priority to justify implementation. Rather than just leave the RFE in a nebulous state, BMC feels it appropriate to be honest with customers and just close the RFE with "No plans to implement" - because there are no plans to implement it. -David J.
