hmmm. How much SM6 did you talk about?
Not a thing. Didn't even come up. We discussed what types of data or reports that I find helpful to make business decisions.
Joe, I'm sure you can check your access logs and see that I'm not even using SM6 at this point. The last time I really had a look at it was when you and I did our webinar.
As I said above, I'm not using SM6 as I know there are still a lot of things being ironed out. I don't want to be in between two platforms and have the guys dealing with glitches in the field and me on the back end. I am eagerly looking forward to making the transition, but am not in a position to be working in a system that is not fully functioning that will cause us frustration . I see the comments and feedback in the beta group and it's clear there are still issues and frustration among the users that are trying to work in it and have to switch between the two platforms. You and I have talked about this. The long awaited launch and promise of SM6...the moving target of the release...the lack of clear laymen terms communication to users as to whats happening when, what it means to them, the fact that you say it's a constantly developing thing and will never be "complete". I get that, but being complete and improving are different than being functional with out issues (and not pushed back over and over when you announce a "release" date).
I really love
SM. And I am very excited about SM6 being fully functional so we can transition to it. And we look forward to a viable mobile app. This is not news to you from me or anyone else. The mobile app thing is on many peoples wish list. I still find the features of
SM a better fit for our needs.
I will continue to talk to people about
SM and share our success with it and refer people to
SM. But, I realize that not everyone operates their business like us.
SM may not be the best fit for them. It's up to them to talk to people like me and others to get feedback as to what we like (and don't like) about the system we use so they can make the best decision for them.
