Ruffled Feathers…

Apparently one or more of my prior postings has ruffled the competition – at the expense of educating the market!

In those postings, I lampooned the “Consumer Reporting” style of software analysis by the geniuses at the ExperCompany – check out the ExperSchlock II and ExperSchlock I postings if you missed it …

And now, just when the ExperSchlockies were hoping it was all a thing of the past, here comes an email into my Inbox from an industry friend who used to work at PAS (but left for family reasons):

Recently, a co-worker and I met an old friend of his for lunch, and it turns out he is now the guy who is the Houston Expertune office.

He said they are a little ruffled about your blog entry… J

He was saying that they are having lots of trouble getting data from the customers so they can do benefit analyses… usually it involves trying to get some kind of data out of IP.21 and they are resorting to Excel add-ins and such to capture the data – he was moaning about how difficult it is to get the customers to take the time to do it, and to teach them how to do it.  Of course the sheer data quantity is daunting, and I would hope that they realize a lot of the data they are getting is going to be compressed and thus not really useful.

I held my tongue but it was nice to know that we solved all of those problems in ControlWizard back when I was still at PAS. 

Y’all should be able to stomp these folks. J

Music to my ears….
