Stop verbing those nouns

Tuesday 30 December 2003

Kick me in the shins if I ever write anything as obscure as the following — it’s the abstract for a new book published by IBM, entitled ‘Architecting Portal Solutions’:

This IBM Redbook is focused on architecting and building WebSphere Portal Server-based Dynamic Workplaces. It addresses the needs of SWG Architects, Business Partners, and customers for building skills in architecting solutions by identifying themes that can be applied across multiple SWG Industry Solutions. This includes using e-business infrastructure solutions maps that apply across multiple industries: for example, the On Demand Workplace solution, the e-business integration stack from SWG that provides capabilities for integrating the enterprise based on both business and technology drivers, and the IBM Patterns for e-business from SWG that provide the basis for understanding the best practices for supporting e-business integration. This redbook provides real examples of industry-specific Dynamic Workplace solutions from leading Solution Developers and Systems Integrators working within the IBM on demand strategy. It also includes information on how to use IBM software capabilities to fulfill customer requirements using WebSphere, Lotus, Rational, Tivoli, and Data Management products, how portals are used in various industries, and how this investment can lead a customer towards becoming an e-business on demand.

Hmmmm, an "infrastructure solutions map"...... that'll be a diagram, right?!

Forgive the foregoing comments duplication. Netscape on this Mac has its perverse moments. Unpredictably.

I recently saw an ad for some jobs with "Corrections Victoria" (apparently one is no longer imprisoned in this State; one is 'corrected'). The workers are not prison officers, indeed they have now morphed into "Offender Management Supervisors" whose new role will be to develop "an enhanced offender management system". I expect some consultant did well out of this uplifting upgrading of nomenclature....
