Re: IM Consumability Survey

So much energy in this group :-)

Few points:
* I personally know one of the guys who helped prep the survey.
   Matter of fact he was presenting it internally
   (and some of the result so far as they pertain to DB2) when I posted
   here.
   So.. Yeah what does Gumby know? ;-)
* There is this movement prised above all at IBM right now which is
   called outside-in-design and the not-so-technical folks get
   sometimes carried away by attempt to root anything in a business
   problem. Such is life.
   It can get rather amusing to fit an "outer join" into a task solving a
   business problem. But most times reason prevails...
* Ultimately however it does matter whether you encounter a problem
   more likely because you are:
   a) An ISV trying to sell a CRM system
   b) CISCO trying to deploy a router
   c) Who knows what.
   As it so happens certain technical patterns are more likely to be
   encountered in certain "business" scenarios. So mining this
   correlation can be valuable.

I took the liberty of sending some of the feedback
(censored to fit a PG rating) back to said person who gave the
presentation.

Cheers
Serge
