I thought I would start a side topic from the "how fast could that be?" thread. We have seen more and more "out of the box ITSM" installs in recent years and custom development appears to be less prevalent. Many of us started out building anything and everything under the sun.
For me, I had just switch from working in an aerospace fabrication shop to my first IT job at a help desk. About 6 months in I became very interested in what else Remedy could do. As I learned more about what Remedy could do I really wished we would of had it at the job I had left. So with that my first app was one geared around running a fab shop. The app tracked customers, jobs/parts, equipment and staff. It could associate what machine a part is in and who is working on it. Also it could show the status of a machine so planners didn't schedule a job in a machine that was down for maintenance. Also you could not schedule machinists to a job if they were on vacation. It probably also had things like an email to the worker when a job/part was assigned to them. I have been trying to find the definition in recent years. I am sure I would get a kick out of how I built things back then.
