ITGumbo: spicing IT up

Hello to my readers,

You all know what TCO is and if you don't, quickly go and read about. Because I have a surprise for you.

Yesterday, I met with the TCO. It was a one hour meeting, but I did manage to characterize for myself.

It is a man, in my case he was European. He has a degree in over-engineering from a well known establishment.

From what he told me, he had many years of experience in high-end applications, mainly in the maintenance of infrastructure.

He spoke gently about the importance of responsibility, accountability and management.

When I explained my wishes, he talked about good process, control, security and procedure.

He did not know much about WEB 2.0, SaaS, Agile and other fancy words in the software world.

In other words, he is a plumber of bytes, and we all need a plumber.

By the way, he earns more than all the memory and disk you could think of for your application.

Now, how to reduce the TCO?

Hope you sleep well at night.

Yours truly,

Noam
