I think you're confusing us with the Ruperts, Adana 'bab.
The problem with JPA is not the software, or the servers. I'm led to believe, by somebody who knows about these sorts of things, that the network itself simply doesn't have the bandwidth to support it, and never will without a MAJOR upgrade (somebody in the office yesterday gave a very convincing, albeit highly technical explanation that went right over my head!) Therefore, it seems likely that it'll NEVER work - just like ALFENS....
What we'll end up with is a system with a small group of protected users able to access it, and us requiring to go through them to get our 'self service' admin done. Who knows, maybe we could form a dedicated Flight and give them a dedicated office in handbrake house...now, what could we call them?
They deal with Personnel, and provide Services........
