Just my OPinion

Pretty bad computer system IMHO. Our little company has a help desk system that displays the customer's local time (including any regional adjustments like daylight savings time) right on the operator's screen so they know when they are calling. The exact local times anywhere in the world are very easy to find and every computer programmer knows how to program them in.
Note: Do you know that some times throughout the world are adjusted on the half hour? For example India, the world's second most populous country utilizes an offset time zone. India is a half-hour ahead of Pakistan to the west and a half-hour behind Bangladesh to the east. Never knew that!
