Hey, Bonnie...
We *could* do that (and it would certainly make the development effort easier! ;)
...but every manufacturer setup that we have features about 100 remote field users and about 15-20 internal users. The 15-20 internal HeadQuarters users sit inside all firewalls, and often work with the largest pieces of data. So for those users, we want to optimize things as much as possible.
