I'm involved in a very high-pressure gig here (and am loving every
minute). Just as is going on in every lrge compny, the sole purpose
of this project is re-engineer various business processes so that the
process of getting to market is system driven rather than
paper/form/email/phone call driven. This is where hours in a
multi-day process can make a difference.

We're talking about processes that are the core platform of how the
company does business and some VERY high-level people are involved.
Do you think thay they are going to spend millions of dollars just to
figure out HOW to change, then see it delayed because someone wants a
PDF structured differently?
