Well, we have gone live!

As is true with many of these projects we feel a bit hampered in our abilities to do our job at the speed we did last week. Due to the learning curve and simply a new paradigm, and of course the untangling of data and operational knots we’ve created over the last 20 years.

We find ourselves moving slower and with more caution and I would venture to say ignorance. We find what we believe are “undocumented features – or bugs as some call it” but later find that we are simply approaching the issue strangely.

What an experience for us. We are so set in our ways and so engrained and trained in GoldMine we have a difficult time with other technology. I summarized on the phone yesterday to someone by stating, “It’s kind of like writing with your left hand (I am right handed). I know I can do it but I may be sloppier and slower but I will get there.”

Short time today but will add more at a later time.

NICE product, just different for us.

After 4 hours of time, we are waiting for our hundred thousand plus e-mails to convert into the RedHorse product. We’ve had a bit of database corruption in the past we were not even aware of.
