The "New System"

[trottigy]

I am putting this in the "General Forum" rather than one of the JW forums as - this is NOT JW related.

 

I work for the City where I live and am in the Building Department now. I am one of the support staff. We have used a database software called KIVA for 14 years now. It has ceased being supported years ago and will not run on Java 7 (so we have to keep Java 6 on the machines that use it - even though it has a HUGE security hole in it.)

 

So we went through a process of picking a new database system to use. It is used for most of the City operations related to buildings - from seeing planning commission and getting approval - to submitting plans for site work and building - to the licensing for the business when done.

 

We chose a system called EnerGov by Tyler Technologies ( http://www.tylertech.com/solutions-products/energov-product-suite )

 

We are now in the process of configuring / customizing for our use. It is going to take about a year to setup and convert our data and train everyone. What cracks me up is - the "old system" KIVA is not as stable as it used to be; so, often I hear ones say - boy I can't wait for that New System to get here or for it to get fully operational, etc.

 

I can't help but crack up! And think - ME EITHER!!! But of course - I am thinking of a completely different "New System" than they are ( Luke 18:30).  

 

Have a great day!

Have you mentioned to them that the "New System" is spoken of in the Bible?

On more than one occasion. They are more interested in their own.

Well, they will, perhaps, be sort of happy, short term, until they realize what new system REALLY means! Them , "woe are they"!

I had the same experience when I worked for a newspaper years ago.  We converted over from an old, huge computer to individual PCs networked together.  Everyone kept talking about the New System...  I laughed every time.
