cross-company collaboration...
-
As much fun there can be while collaborating with external companies... there are also some moments of total frustruation... A simple issue: External company provides an SSH server. And our company should connect to this server... Problem: We got the connection details (ip, username, etc.) about a month ago. And it's still not working. After double-checking our firewall that the problem is at our company I informed them about the issues. It looks like they have a "Network partner" who configures their firewall (ip restriction, NAT configuration). Communication is mainly over email. I've got now about 3 or 4 mails in my inbox about "Our network partner has found an error and fixed it. Please try again." After each so called "fix": nothing has changed... :doh: If I'm not mistaken the whole system should have gone into the site acceptance test end of last week... Have you ever experienced something alike?

No; partners are responsible for their shizzle, I don't care whether they subcontract or what their subcontractor does. I don't wanna hear about "internal problems", either they deliver, or they don't. If they're overdue for a month, find someone else.

How much is all this costing? Save both companies a fortune, and get yourself a bonus: Buy a big reel of Ethernet cable, two Ethernet plugs, and a gadget for fixing the plugs onto the cable...
