Subject: Re: [gislist] ESRI support????
Date:  03/21/2005 01:25:04 PM
From:  Stephany Filimon



It's usually for expediency's sake that I've turned to friends,
colleagues, and occasionally lists/forums. I usually get exactly the
answer I need through someone I know or someone who knows someone, much
much faster than through product support.

Since adopting ArcGIS 9 in the past year, I've come across a few issues
(primarily with GIS to CAD conversions) that the ESRI support staff and
site could not adequately answer, and even then did not answer at all
for 2-4 days on each occasion. I used to work in tech support for a
certain online bookseller, and I know how hard it can be to answer
certain questions, especially when they're more technical or unusual.
This does not, however, change the fact that I often have work that
can't wait for a few days to be done, or that will go away just because
there's "a bug" that won't be fixed until who knows when. Which is
another point: ESRI can say "it's a bug" but can't necessarily tell me
what workarounds I can use (possibly through other non-ESRI products) to
accomplish what I need to.
