    Hi ,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    At this time, after reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, we have decided to reject it. This is due to unavailability of requested information in our previous reach outs. We will be closing this RFE now but feel free to re-open the RFE with the requested information on what information or change are you looking for with DFC998I?

    We appreciate your input to IMS, and we hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Swetha Sridharan

    Hi,

    We would like to circle back with you regarding this RFE. We would like to clarify on what information or change are you looking for with DFC998I? This information is important to us to decide if we would accept or reject this RFE. Could you please provide us this information to continue our review? Failing which, we are afraid that we would have to reject this RFE as we don't have the required information.
