CIO guaranteed all stores by 8/31/16 and complete success. But lets look at his history a little closer.

  • eFollett Outsourcing - Failure!

-Retalon - Failure and abandoned!

-ORPOS - EPIC Failure!!!!

-CT Web - Take a guess.

3 years at the helm and these are the results under his leadership. Quite amazing that this is it.

We have the worst network reliability in the world. My comcast xfinity internet at 25mbps is faster and more reliable than follett's gigabit lan.

It is probably time for the IT leadership to vacation in India AGAIN and watch the offshore teams code. That will fix it, money well spent.

"designed and implemented to increase speed"?. How could that be, you move 1500 stores on one shared database server and have slow network connectivity from the stores to the home office versus in store dedicated server for one store.

Oh yea, wait until the network is done or slow and you will really appreciate that new application.

It was designed and implemented to increase speed. So that didn't happen?

I imagine when all stores are on at the same time it will run even slower. Kind of like my.work did on Monday mornings

The new system find at about 1/4 the speed of the old system. Last semester it took me 20 min to copy and paste my biggest class to all its sections and enter in the QTC's. Now it took me almost 2 hours. And this is summer not spring
