Hi--
Dick makes an EXCELLENT point on this... I'd take it back to basics for
the bulk of the system, maybe including training guides per role or even
writing it from the role perspective... It is HARD to build, QA and
maintain. UGH.
IP's system... It was such a VAST difference, that they really had to do
it that way. YUCK!
Thanks!
