Do it yourself! Get a monitor Open systems, tricky but comprehensive System i based, slick but can be expensive Get a Ticket system Open systems and web based Remedy (Ouch!) Why should you do it at all? It is reasonably easy to do The information is invaluable

It is proven Hey (Hej) it already exists! (in Sweden) It has many levels It does not conflict with Lawson (or anyone) The devil is in the detail!
