Rob, I have seen so many companies screwed by Compuware, their name is dirt as well as CA. They have literally poisoned the well for ever after, to me. See my reply earlier. for my 10 points. Ken P: And right they should be questioned. Between CA and Compuware they have essentially bled the IT community and have suckled on them far to long. I have lost track of the promises that CA and Compare have made in the past and have been screwed every time, either by pricing or one specific case causing a migration of an OS due to their lack of keeping up with year old technology. In CA’s case I had to change one of their modules so it would work with two year old technology IBM code. They wanted my code but told them to go scratch as they delayed the migration. In CA’s case they bought two vendors and their support for the one product went to hell. We had to find a replacement product and pay for something that CA orphaned. Another CASE with CA, I have been called in at all hours to support some of their crappy code. I do not like staying up all night in support of a vendor that can’t get its ducks in a line (one product talking to another product). We were *NOT* bleeding edge as I said above at least a year behind (sometimes more). As I said vendors lie and the system programmer gets caught in the mess. I HATE WORKING all night.
