Well, those folks can take a train, bus, motorcycle, or automobile if they don't care to fly. Or, I suppose, depending on where they're coming from, walk, run, bike, or sail. They might even be able to find some other Listers who don't want to fly for whatever reason to caravan with.

I think they have different groups doing development for each module, and no group doing consistency testing across the modules to ensure a common look and feel and behavior of common elements. It would really improve the product as a whole by quite a bit if BMC were to start doing that, in my

Analytics is a separate product – and I’ll warn you, the licensing is a bit pricy. Analytics comes with the ITSM universe by default. If you wanted to run reports that pull info from both ITSM and a custom Remedy app, you’d need to customize the ITSM universe to include your custom apps. If
