Hi all,
Sorry this is slightly off topic. I'm having a problem that I'm sure
some of you have experienced before. Others of you will probably
encounter it in the future so it seemed a worthy topic.
I work as a (more or less) full-time in-house scripter for an artwork
company of around 100 people. My colleagues and I write scripts that
save huge amounts of time and money. Most of the ideas for the scripts
come from the end users themselves.
A pattern has emerged though. Some users use the scripts day in and day
out which is great but there's a small but worrying proportion who's
use slowly tails off.
The scripts still work as well as they did on day 1. I can prove their
worth with figures showing that the scripts save time and money.
There's nothing technically wrong with the scripting, trust me its a
people problem!
I was wondering how you people, as scripters, launch and then promote
your scripts with the users? Do you have a big launch event? Do you do
nothing at all?
I'd be interested to know your thoughts!
Cheers
Rob
