You have to be realstic, you are not going to get software exactly desigined for the job.
Wrong. This is PRECISELY what we had with STARS. Once it had evolved into AMS, it was a complete solution that was perfectly suited to our requirements. The 'slow' factor was down to network bandwidth, a problem that largely went away once the network infrastructure was upgraded.
STARS / AMS gave you EXACTLY the information you required, instantly, in an easily understood format. It didn't have a million-and-one other functions that we simply don't need slowing it down. It would, on startup, take you straight to a graphical display of your section's programme. With one click, you got all the info required about a task. It didn't have crew's names reduced to an indecipherable 4-letter code. It didn't contain masses of pointless civvy terminology. In short, it was PERFECTLY suited to our needs and worked very well for several years before they effectively turned it off. We too have been forced to go back to boards for programming.
Oh, and it didn't have a complete nobber as a ProjO......
What 2 Gp can do is bring what it does more in line with what the civies do
So we should change the way we do things just to suit an unsuitable piece of software?
"Dog from Tail....wag, over"......
I hope rumours of it's demise are true - if Gp want to keep it as an IATS replacement, then hey - go nuts, guys! Just don't try to make us use it for programming. Give us our AMS back!
