Me thinks this is related to all the other hot topics out there... Centralize the computers, then another CIO comes in, decentralize all the computers...every division gets there own...a genius.
IT is outsourced, problems, slow response, a new CIO comes in, let's bring everything in house under our control...a genius. One big computer that runs everything, now the apps are being spread out among a bunch of computers... Meanwhile, all the peons get kicked around, while dgmt gets bonuses and perks...for being a genius. History repeats itself... -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 11:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <RANT> This has all been tried before, and the predictions are the same: financial nirvana, big savings in technology costs, no pesky holier-than-thou DBA's baffling poor damagers with stuff they can't possibly understand. </RANT> Very few executive, managers or DBA's are going to want to place their corporate data on Oracle's site, or even provide access to it from outside for non-employees. There's also the whipping boy factor. Who's butt you going to kick when the database is screwed up? ;) Heard a good quote on a documentary the other night: "A corporation has no soul to save nor an ass to kick". Someone local must be accountable for the data. The whole outsourcing thing is kind of baffling to me at times. Why not carry it out its fullest measure? Outsource mfg, sales, IT, design and executives. No need for any employees. Guess I turned of the rant too soon.
