CIOs Looking At OSS
bigmouth_strikes writes "There is an interesting article entitled "Your open source plan" in the latest issue of CIO. The article is about opens source software and its place in the enterprise systems market and the article shows the change in attitude over the last few years. OSS is being considered in most large corporations and CIOs are seriously looking into alternatives to expensive proprietary software and Microsoft's licensing schemes. The magazine and the article itself are intended for executives, so the technical aspect is at a beginners level."
you're new in the corperate world aren't you.
C*O's are usually very very inept. they are world class bullsh*ters and salespeople that is it. they have ZERO business sense, ZERO technical abilities, ZERO business skills. You want examples that I speak the truth? Look at EVERY failed company over the past 4 years. the company failed and crashed because of the Management team. They were either thieves (Enron, loki), idiots, or just bumbling boobs. Almost all of them are horribly overpaid for what they do, most middle management personell have a better grip on the company and what is needed than ALL of the Executive team combined.
CIO are not technical, they are overpaid bullsh*tters that dont have a clue to what their job is let alone what their company needs.
CIO's are jumping on the OSS bandwagon because they want to cust costs. That is it, nothing more, and they probably think it is a breakfast cerial.
Hmmm, do i sound bitter?
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
> Maybe because most techies I've talked to in the past don't want to go into management?
Most 'techies' don't have the balls to go into management. They run and hide when they have to deal with people face-to-face.
