I've occasionally been hired by clients to turn their data into information. From that side of the fence, I'd have to say that turnkey systems are generally garbage. Encapsulation, like paint, covers a multitude of sins.

I've even walked away from gigs where the client wanted to use data in ways the vendor should have thought of, but didn't. Received on Tue Feb 08 2005 - 07:41:56 CST
