"This is what saw when I tried to open a Fidelity account online;" Leland W. said, "when I called in for help, a customer service rep explained that this has been a 'known issue' with their software for a while. When she started giving me instructions on how to change my system's language code to EN-US, I opted for the paper application."
I'm sure that this next example would have been a bit funnier for Peter, had it not happened in production and had he not been the one assigned to fix it throughout the system...

>Probably because they're not spending too much on IT.
Quite possibly, the exact opposite. As an ERP consultant, some of the best projects I've been on were projects where time, money and staffing was tight and something needed to get out the door fast. Some of the worst were projects involving big (usually quasi-governmental) organizations that had way too much budget and time for what they were trying to do. Or, maybe the whole clever thing is written in J2EE ;-) I know at least one investment company that's ditching their J2EE portfolio manager software and rewriting in Rails. |
Yeah, J2EE was just a fad. Rails is here to stay though. |
