The new software is much more powerful than what we're currently using, and it has new features that will really help us in the future. Besides, we're getting a good price on the software because we'll be among the first in our industry to make the change-over." Dante said, "But isn't it bad to be among the first to use new software? Don't some companies like to let other companies experiment first and then adopt it after it appears that everything works okay?" Glen said, "Dante's right. One of our old vice presidents who left for a big promotion said that it's better to be safety behind the leading edge of information technology. One of the wags around here likes to say we're on the bleeding edge of technology." Fred said, "This isn't leading-edge software. It's been out for a year now and lots of companies in other industries are using it. We need to get on with the change and quit dragging our heels. This software will be the new standard and we'll be better off making the change now rather than waiting until our competitors change over." Cole said, "Il agree with Rebecca. New software always sounds great on paper. But I've heard that when you start to work with the new software, the new features just make your computer run slower. And, the added features are kind of a waste because most people never use them." Fred said, "Listen, you can complain all you want, but it's not going to change anything. Just get used to it. We're going to have to make the change, and I think it's a good. move. Telling doom-and-gloom stories about the new software isn't going to help. You need to adopt a positive attitude and embrace the new change. You'll see that we'll be better off with this new software. Besides, it's useless to try to resist new technology. I'll send out a memo about the change next week. I've got to run to a meeting with the vice presidents." After Fred left, Cole said, "Do any of you know why we have so much security where the computers that support the systems 'are located? Back in the 1990's one of the employees got so frustrated with the company that he threw buckets of water on the computers. Can you imagine how frustrated he was?I heard that when the police arrested him away he was mumbling something about changes in software. QUESTIONS

Dante said, "Have you heard the latest? We're going to change database - software.", Rebecca said, "Who told you that? This isn't another of those rumors, is it? I've just recovered from the last change in software." Dante said, "I have a friend, Angelita Brown, who used to work in this section. She moved over to corporate procurement a couple of years ago. Anyway, last week she saw contracts for new database software." Just then Glen Viernes and Cole York walked up to the table. Rebecca said, "have you heard that we're changing database software again? Glen groaned, "Not again! I've still got a few files that I haven't converted from the previous software. Most of us have only recently learned the present software well enough to feel comfortable. How are we going to learn all of this new stuff while we take on these new accounts from the merger?" Cole said, "I heard about this new software from a friend whose Company implemented it last summer. It's so complex that it takes almost a year to really learn it well. In fact, at my friend's company a couple of people quit their jobs because of the software." Dante said, "This is going to be a disaster. The last time we switched software the whole system was messed up for months. The worst problem was when we found errors in the conversion and people had to go back and trace through the data to do corrections." As the four of them walked back to their office they ran into their boss, Fred Ruiz. Glen said, "we've heard rumors that we're going to change database software. Are they true?" Fred said, "I had hoped to keep this quite until I could announce the change to everyone at once. Yes, it's true.
