I might be biased here (having worked on a CRM before), but it does sound like the old joke about "What's an Internet Service Provider?" to me. ...It's a provider for your internet service. The explanation isn't goi

Fully agree with both you and parent. I'm in the process of switch from Credit Suisse to Neon. Opening an account with Neon is the simplest thing ever. I'm still on the phone weekly with CS to even attempt to make them do anything

Not SAP, but ERP developer here. The project I worked on included a logistics module which stock-keeping and accounting. When you tell a warehouse worker to pick up an iPhone from row A4-143-X and it's not there, you need to figure out

The point isn't that a buyer wants office space, the buyer wants an investment that goes up in value. That's the core issue, right?

Ah yes, that comparison makes sense. For me, the alternative is staying with family, so it's less clear-cut.

I'm not an expert of legalities around accessibility, but taking the ADA as an inspiration, IIRC the Captcha provider does not have to provide an accessible alternative that works equivalently, only one that allows the same outcome for
