Evertec tiene excelente planta física y sistemas de computadoras. El problema es que los que trabajan alli no les importa lo que hacen, no aman su trabajo. Por que han sido victimas de años de abusos psicologicos, donde el mas chismoso es el que logra escalar!!! No solo Metallica...cuantas veces uno trata de hacer un pago en mi banco y no funciona......

Uhh, just for the record, when a plane crashes, companies get sued for negligence. When a patient dies on the operating table, sometimes the doctor gets sued for negligence. When you cause a traffic accident and someone gets hurt, you can be sued. See a pattern? Really? You really wanted to go there? I think you may be a little overly sensitive.

Listen, the beauty of the Internet is that I can say what ever I believe to be true. I'm a customer and I think I received really crappy service, so I'm going to tell everyone what I think.

And by the way, I didn't say anyone sucked in the post. I said that they probably mismanaged resources leading to the failure. In fact, I didn't implicate anyone as you put it, "at the low end of the food chain." I think I said that it was probably a management problem.

As for TicketPop being a platform that EverTec or BancoPopular purchased. I'm not finding that link. The only connection I can find is that MediaWire.net registered the domain TicketPop.com. Do you mean EverTec hosts TicketPop on MediaWire.net servers? Or is it that GM Group outsourced the creation of the TicketPop software to MediaWire, which would explain A LOT!

Finally, I think you must be confused with the whole concept of outsourcing (especially hardware). We're just a couple of guys operating out of our houses, so we outsource our hosting, and anything we can, especially if it is for free. Of course, it's just because of the low cost of hardware that Google can offer so many services for "free." However, I wouldn't use Blogger if it crashed frequently. Oh yeah, you should also know that it is Google standard procedure to redo any software they buy. So if EverTec inherited a bad system from MediaWire, then perhaps it is time for them to look for a new solution.

Dude. All this whining makes me doubt your cred as a Metallica fan. You sound more like a girly Poison fan in disguise. If you were a true Metallica fan you wouldn't have relied on the wimpy internet and would have gone and bought the tickets personally.

I just love how someone (ie. YOU) explains an error of mismanaged resources being outrages due to the availability of "dirt-cheap hardware" etc. when you have to rely on someone else's blogging platform. Why not then try setting up your own blog on your own hardware and do your own hosting if everything is so cheap?

You're just like every other company out there that outsources your resources to supposedly save a buck.

Since you've toured the Evertec facilities, please enlighten us to the hardware being used and their related costs including infrastructure, electricity, maintenance etc.

You seem to know quite a bit, but for someone as smart as yourself, I would have expected you to have done some research on ticket pop and figured out that the ticketpop platform along with it's managers, designers and programmers came from Mediawire. And as you PROBABLY and OBVIOUSLY know, when a big company acquires a smaller company for their technology, part of the deal is to retain most of the team and promote it's executive management who in turn maintain control of their product. Therefore if you want blame anyone, then blame the original designers and programmers from Mediawire. They're the ones that probably "suck".

Most projects, when done in-house, would work way much better. But unfortunately most parent companies outsource and acquire technologies due to time constraints and the state of the competition and they forgo their own resources. This is nothing new. We people on the low end of the food chain gripe about this all the time.

Anyway, bashing people in general for something you experienced, especially your technological peers, is unprofessional. Things crash. Deal with it. When a plane crashes, their engineers don't suck. When a patient dies on the operating table, those surgeons don't suck. Sometimes shit happens. But blatantly ranting and going out of your way to critisize a group of hard working individuals and saying they suck for something they mostly had nothing to do with because of your lack of due diligence and neglectful researching -- And all because of insignificant thing as Metallica tickets makes YOU suck really bad.

Actually it would be be pretty cool to go see Metallica with my mother, especially since she's been dead for 15 years. I'm sure I'd be the talk of the concert. Mano, did you she that guy dragging that corpse around at the Metallica show?

But you're right about one thing, my post is a rant, a rant about how pathetic it is that the largest company in Puerto Rico and supposed technological leader produces such crappy software.

Anyway, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, might I suggest, however, that you stay on topic and discuss the merits of my opinion, or by actually adding something to the conversation other than immature taunts.

Tu vas pa METALLICA con tu mama? en caso de que algo vaya mal, para que te abraze y te diga que todo va estar bien mientras lloras y preparas tu proximo rant. Como que no pega Metallica y to este rant lloroncito sobre comprar tickets.
