Say What?
Fritz Nelson's "Speak Our Language" (May 1, 2003) is great. I was just discussing his topic with some of my peers at a recent security seminar. These days, everything is about the company and its image. When I asked several vendors at the show about their products, all they could give me were mouthfuls of three-letter acronyms that stood for some new technologies with which none of us was familiar. No one actually knew how the companies' products worked or how to use them effectively. Between all of us in attendance we had more than 100 years of IT experience (I have 18 years), and we stood there dumbfounded.
The industry has turned into one big used-car sales pitch. Everywhere I go, people are trying to sell me products. Even companies I do business with are trying to sell me something--sometimes the product I already own! It is great to see someone address this issue.
