It’s All About the Brand I apologize for being late to the Un-SQL party, but work related problems have kept me busy since the PASS Summit. The Summit had a profound effect on me and I’m still trying to process it all. Never mistake motion for action. – Ernest Hemingway Like my new friend Grant [...] Ghostbusters? I get at least one e-mail or call a month from someone, who is unhappy with Made2Manage in some way. Either they’re unhappy with the product, or with support, or both. Obviously, if the problem is technical the first step is to contact support. However, support may not be able or willing to help [...] The Need for Structure In my years of working with M2M, one of my biggest frustrations is that it allows you to do almost whatever you want with it. There is a lack of structure, required workflows, etc. This makes data analysis difficult to impossible at times. I’ll just name a few examples from the sales [...] You must choose… but choose wisely. I received an e-mail from a M2M customer last week regarding problems he had using the system. He complained that the system was too rigid, required too much work to maintain the data, and kept his company from being more productive. I’ve had experience with many different kinds of [...]

I’m standing outside the front of the building leading the registration team at the front tables, squinting in the sun, sweating profusely, and wondering why I feel so good about [...] In a previous post a user made the following comment: talking on the topic of permission how I can generate a report per screen that will show only the user that have at least one permission and not showing all users wit no permission at all!! I’ve always been annoyed by the report aspect of M2M [...] What are Web Support Spotlight Days? Anyone who administers Made2Manage is aware of Web Support Spotlight Days. These days always occur on Fridays and Made2Manage Support stops accepting incoming support calls, only accepting requests through its website. This idea is sold to customers as a means of showcasing M2M’s excellent web support options, and that support [...] “I got an ant farm; them fellas didn’t grow shit.” – Mitch Hedberg A few months ago I became aware that a company I deal with still uses dot matrix printers. For those of you who have never seen one, that’s because most companies phased these relics out of existence fifteen years ago. The dot matrix printer [...] I love this chart, which I borrowed (stole) from Coding Horror. A major project that I completed recently reminded me of it. I created a sales order auditing system that included scheduled SQL jobs, multiple triggers, VBA for M2M, and Crystal Reports. The project took me a long time to complete and [...] |
