Just curious if any pre-go live testing was done. Sounds like nothing was done to prep for go-live.

None. At. All.
The Qlikview thing truly baffles me. Nobody seems to know what to do next. I think I know what they should do next, but I suspect they're not really interested in extracting their heads from their anal pores.

I'll bet they won't scrap the bastard software either.

We're experiencing similar here. One of our agencies updated to Win10 back in August and have had nothing but trouble. To make matters worse, they didn't even check security policies or compatibility with the web filter appliance. Sites that worked on 7 are not loading in 10 while on the agency's network.
On the flip side, another agency has set up test boxes for Win10 so people can make sure in house development and third party programs work. To this point, none of the developers have tested their programs.

I'm very sure that Leslie posted this just before he took command of cruiser C57D.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Was watching some cricket t'other day, at one point a decision was sent to the DRS (video ref).
Just before the decision was shown on the big screen a message from the video ref sponsor - KFC:
KFC logo and the words
"Now We're Cooking"
You mean last time they didn't cook the chicken?

Apparently, eating raw chicken can bring you luck in life.
No, really. My mothers' cousin once (sometimes in the 60ties) had this girlfriend and she invited him to meet her parents. So he came to their house and she cooked him a chicken. As a real gentlemen he ate it all, and complimented the food and the cook. They had a great time that evening. And only after he left, her parents told her that the chicken was raw.
Now...that's true love. So they got married, and raised four beautiful children. Today, two of them are doctors, and two are math professors. The pair stayed together until he died, a few years ago.
So when you see a chicken, don't hesitate. Who knows, perhaps YOU too are just a raw chicken away from happiness.

I see about as much of a connection between "eating raw chicken" and "luck in life" in your post as "eating raw chicken" and the fact that "he died a few years ago".

I'm wondering if your employer is stimulating employees to stay up-to-date with current technologies.
My previous employer would pay up to €500,- for courses, training, etc., but never required you to do anything.
No one out of about 30 employees even spend €1,- from that €500,-.
When I told my employer it may be a good idea to do a regular mailing on courses or training that were interesting for us, a project, or the company as a whole I got the reaction "you may think that, but you get €500,- and we think that's enough." (while it clearly isn't if no one is spending it).
Knowledge sharing was so bad that an Oracle team blew a SQL Server job while I, the only SQL Server certified person in the company, wasn't even aware!
At my current company everything is paid for and we have regular meetings on what the company is focusing on.
I'm currently participating in an Azure certification group, I just got invited to a group interested in front-end development, and this week we'll be having another presentation on some technology or another (last month it was Machine Learning, the co-worker who presented got an Azure subscription from the company right away to continue his study).
Other presentations I've attended were about .NET Core, Azure, Docker, and Blockchain.
Too bad it's all in my free time (it's also not mandatory, mind you).
The contrast with my previous employer couldn't be bigger.
I prefer my current employer, the difference in skill, knowledge, and mentality is huge.
How is training and knowledge sharing handled in your company and what's good/bad about it?

I think somewhere in the mists of time, I've heard that word you used - what was it again? - ah, yes, "training" - now, let me think ... somewhere back there, somewhere ... back in the days of green screens ... there was something - what was it? - so, so long ago - just can't quite put my finger on it ... maybe if I can just remember when Methusaleh had his 21st birthday bash, it was around the same time as that, I'm sure ... no, it's gone ...

If i ask for a training, they say plan it in your budget, so the only "training" available for me is to visit ONE conference of SW Dev fanatics a year.
Whenever i see a Websession or short trainings and ask for the permission it's like this:
Boss: "Is it in budget?"
Me: "No, just heard of it"
Boss: "No"
Me: "But it's only 100€"
Boss: "No, make a budget for that for next FY." (You have to state for what exactly you budget and also add the price for it)
So i'd say i got the worst... if i wouldn't try keep up by myself i'd probably be outdated tomorrow.

Ouch... The question should be the other way around "why haven't you followed any web sessions lately!?"
It's in your employer's own interest (as well as yours).
Unfortunately, all management sees is money spent, but never what it gains them

Jup, and since we have no separate Software dev team i count as "IT" which always only costs money
