Here is a list of some of the projects that have or are using the tool. This
is NOT a complete list. In addition, sales of the tool are brisk - better
than we hoped actually - which indicates some market acceptance. Most new
customers use IACC on their projects; more established customers seem more
resistant.
There are two main complaints about IACC - and while both are justified, I
think they are overblown. The weaknesses are:
* A single IACC database begins to degrade in performance with 12,000
or so objects (think blocks)
* Only one user is allowed in a given database at any one time.
I'd just like to point out that this is no worse than ICC. ICC supports on
CP per database (4000 blocks max) and only one user per database at any
given time.
Given that ICC and IACC have similar weak spots - though IACC can hold more
data - the question then becomes is IACC easier to use than ICC. The answer
is clearly yes.
My point is, don't fixate on the weaknesses; look at its strengths.
As for why there aren't more comments from users on this list, it may well
be that IACC users and Windows users don't join the list. I think we need to
do something about that.
Anyway, here's the list that I've compiled in the last hour or so from
internal users. This does not represent any projects done by customers
themselves. Hope this helps.
