** Hi Claire, Technically its not "outsourcing", BMC has support around the world. Its cheaper to have several locations where staff is oncall during business hours in each region. Don't think that makes it any less frustrating, particularly if you opened the ticket with US support. In that

So the question is...why can I not get 24x7 support now? I hate to beat that drum once a year, but for what we pay for support, and they outsource that support around the world, would it not be a good time to finally make this 24x7? Timothy Button Remedy Systems Consultant [EMAIL
