My application runs on three networks, two of which are at a special classification network. Any software that goes on these networks needs special approval, and with two different networks we have two different approval chains. This process takes forever! We are still stuck using .NET 4.0, SQL 2008 R2 and Infragistics NetAdvantage 2012 because the paperwork for getting the most recent version of these software packages approved for use on the special networks is still slow-rolling through the approval chain. I would wish for a "spark" to be lit under the approvers' butts to actually do their jobs and approve the new stuff so we can start using it!
