My name is spelled  Whitaker ..., but you can call me Ray, you can call
me Jay...


I seriously dislike the paper media for information management
purposes.

Lorrin,  Oh great - Another CRM brainwashed by Wittaker.  Actually
that
was one of the first things the department wanted to do BUT when we
made
them do a cost benefit analysis it was cost prohibitive.  Some
background-
11 million + aperture cards,7,000 + rolls of microfilm,8-9,000
boxes/flat
files of tracings, 85-90% of which will never be accessed.  The cost
came
to 6+ years of effort(staff of 10-12) and almost 26 million dollars.
   I also have concerns with our current on-line digitized drawing
system
from both a performance and a vital record disaster recovery direction
but
that's another story for another time.
