I note that the RFP specifies an upgrade from V2 to V3 which to me implies changes. I cannot see any mention of education for end users which, experience tells me, is where many projects get a bad name. I come in on Monday morning and the muttering is loud and long because we can no longer do the work in the way we could on Friday because the system was upgraded the day before and the new version lacks features no-one knew we were using! The answer is then, sometimes, go read the manufacturer's man pages. Mmmm So what changes will end users see going from V2 to V3? What functions will we lose? If you were changing the version of IOS I would know exactly where to look and what to expect and there are doubtless those on this list who will feel the same about this software change but equally there will be those - like me - to whom it is a black box (or perhaps a black hole).
