Being an Evolution user watching IRIS swallow companies up like a whale shark on a feeding run was at best disconcerting. As a general rule you don't go mixing drinks without some kind of penance and sadly a product that once flourished during its independence has become a victim of this Juggernaut’s hunger to derive higher profits and squeeze margins. It is understandable that something had to give; no company in their right mind would want to compete against themselves in the same market. It’s just a shame that Evolution will be merged away into oblivion. It serves as a warning to other companies out there who may hold a customer base that IRIS feel could benefit from their ‘expertise’. As an administrator of the system and valued customer (I hope) I am not amused. There will be a lot of head scratching in the coming months to see how best to salvage the investment that has been made in Evolution. Of course it is nice to know that we are not being ‘forced’ to upgrade, it’s just an option. hmmmm Well, always nice to have a change! Just hope it doesn’t take years to get to the same productivity levels that we currently have.
