    Kudos to Volker Lendecke. We certainly need more people like that. Why? Because when I talk to the Big Boss I can say: I suggest buying solutions from SerNet GmbH to cut costs and increase long term stability. It is much more likely to get through than: I suggest stop buying solutions from Microsoft or anyone else and doing everything ourselves instead. Sometimes in Big Business, "free" is a synonym for "cheap" and you never want to sound "cheap" on a strategy meeting, trust me. I wonder what will be the reaction from Microsoft.
