I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"Improvement-wise, it should be more customizable. Currently, you can't enhance the product yourself in terms of development for any applications unless you've got a very strong and big development team. Those are the skills that are in very short supply."

Therefore, more clarity is needed in the support function to address this."
