I’ve talked about this before. Workforce Connections (as released by the Department of Labor) is a nearly 1-year older version of devis EZ Reusable Objects (EZRO) which is much more stable and feature rich. Both were developed by devis and it’s the project I’ve been on for most of my time here (in one form or another).
It’s an interesting article which gives a window into the complicated legal dance we went through to get the tool released at all.
