Hello and welcome to my new Blog. I am just getting things up and running so please excuse the spars content. I have been a Business Analyst/PM for more than 9 years, implementing various business systems. I have worked in both small and large enterprise environments. For the last 3 years I have been in a consulting capacity. I have to say that consulting has given me more freedom to do what is right for the customer instead of being under the pressure of a software vendor. I felt the daily pressure of pushing to get their product in. This alone, is why I created this Blog. I see a huge gap between what companies are paying for in an application implementation and what they really needed. Please feel free to express your pains through poorly implemented applications in your company or just plain the wrong product.

I work for Microsoft. We are painfree. Everything we do is perfect. I am perfect. As a matter of fact I think my company is Heaven, I am an angel and by golly Bill G is GOD!
Okay enough dreaming and back to reality. Software implementation will always be painful, but to minimize this pain we should look at one of two solutions:
1) Build in open source using Java, Perl etc
2) Use .Net which encapsulates so much and allows development in multiple languages as long as you have the .Net framework on your system
Why consider option 2 if open source has no constraints? Simply put Bill G has done many things wrong, but he has done many more things right. He is dead on accurate that open source code is the demise of qaulity coding. I have been a part of this for over a decade and got absorbed into the MS world thanks to a company decision to go to .Net. I am glad they did and I liked it so much I moved to the dark side directly and started working in Redmond for the dark lord himself (Bill G).
How does this help implementation pain? In most cases legacy code can be absorbed into the code that is being produced and deployment is as easy as an MSI. In other cases, building with .Net to begin with allows the application the flexibility to be added to with other coding languages that may work more efficiently for some purposes than say C# or ASP.Net.
