OK, I know you could probably parse it out and make some kind of sense from it, but this just sounds too much like something a character on Dilbert would say in a meeting:
“When you look at IT function from a business performance level, that’s when you really starburst the whole integration stack.”
/Claudia Fan Munce, managing director of IBM’s Venture Capital Group in the Summer ‘05 AlwaysOn magazine
Excuse me, Claudia, I thought you just said; “…starburst the whole integration stack.” But you couldn’t have said that, could you? Because that just makes no sense at all. Also “IT function” and “business performance level” pretty much make it (vague)x(nonsense)=BS.
Something about AlwaysOn magazine cracks me up anyway. Things like the way they put a forward-slash in front of people’s names, and render photos with fake scan-lines on them. Why kill perfectly good trees for a quarterly magazine about cutting-edge information-service issues? I think Information Week is a little more up-to-date, and even they have an online daily newsletter feed.
