Happiness I

Happiness is waking up one morning and realizing you haven’t heard the word “Gartner” in over two months.

Obviously Gartner

Look out, Gartner is stating the obvious again!

Of course, it occurred to me that on this topic, Gartner is not talking to people who understand the consumerization of IT. This is happening, and traditional IT folks, yes including us Microsoft/Linux/Apple junkies, don’t see it coming.

For myself though, all I get from news articles of Gartner is the same opinion: Isn’t this obvious enough?

Go Away Gartner

Is anyone else tired of listening to Gartner Study reports?  Their ability to state the obvious is amazing, even to me.

Every time my employer starts looking at a new technology or a solution, the typical, tired, old Gartner report is trotted out to parade around in front of the execs to demonstrate how useful or cost-affective it is.

Doesn’t anyone else notice that the crap in these reports is not worth the TP its printed on?  I mean, the amount of filler in these documents is silly, wasteful and still doesn’t present the reality of a given technology, solution or company.

And that last one really gets me – companies actually pay Gartner good money to present the (again) obvious information about them.

The only redeeming thing about a Gartner report is that unknowing nitwits in the EIEIO club think their getting valuable information that can’t be found anywhere else; especially from their lowly staff members who live and breath the knowledge supposedly represented in these reports.

If they only knew what these reports are not tell them.
