Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 99 ratings
  • Lost me when bagging Enterprise Architecture and yet extolling the power platform as... I dunno, an enterprise mature framework? Host got his knickers in a knot when an EA compared PP to excel. That was an ANALOGY, you know... an abstract concept or thought... Never mind, Come on, the PP is an amazing hodgepodge of technologies and brand names but give me break, if an EA has some caution I'm fine with that, slow and steady, EA is not solutions or technologies.
