A Thank You to VectorLine
Thanks for clarification.....of course Swanwick does not have a computer of its own; however, as a user of said system, if it is not available and we are operating in emergency fallback mode then to all intents and purposes it is as though it were failed.
Our neighbouring Centres do not have to shut down their computers for even a fraction of the time that Swanwick has to cope without one.
If you question my claim then publish the number of service interruptions at Swanwick [ for whatever reason ] since "O" date.
Before we came here we were promised a 24/7 system which has never materialised; the Swanwick method of operation is so heavily reliant on computer support that in the event that it is unavailable the consequences are more far-reaching than the system that it seeks to replace.
This is probably nothing to do with anything, but as Swanwick approaches its third birthday I am reminded that we have the second General Manager and the third Deputy GM....is there something about this place?
