RE: Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back from younger employees?

Although there may be many benefits to a full GUI interface, its a *very*
expensive proposition and not a project to be taken likely if you have a
fairly customized purchased/in-house system.

IMO, if the sole justification to do this was based on one employee, its a
poor business decision. Maybe they are better off without this person ;-)

If your being pushed forward...good luck :)

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back from younger employees?

I had a request to update our interface from a green screen application to a 'more modern GUI' because of an inability to keep new employees because of the look/feel of the green screen apps and the ability to more easily train them if the look/feel was something they were more familiar with.



I'm just curious if others have run into this as a reason to 'modernize'
their applications.



Thanks,
