Just got back from a meeting I had to attend. For the 4th time they want to try to move the job I am doing to keep our HR database, Active Directory, and Office365 synced and add and terminate users. it also automatically sends notification emails as well. They don't like that I am doing it with my personal computer instead of it being off site. They are affraid if there is a tornado or file the database and it;s functionality is lost. Don;t matter that it is backed up every night bootable on a fireproof, waterproof drive AND the same thing is backed up off site.

They keep saying it needs to be setup as a workflow. Well, it already is.

They have been really positive and excited about it, then give up when they can't get it to work.

Did the same thing when I used a Filemaker database to manage our Catalog. Then they just didn't like that it was running on a Mac and wanted the programming department to manage it. What they are doing now still doesn't do all the tasks Filemaker was doing. And filemaker was easy enough to program as databases go everyone in my department was able to update and change the database.
