Sorry for the late reply, but this comment struck a chord. I think CSO/CTO folks are partly at fault. Part of their job should be to decomplexify (or call it simplify if you like ;) todays information systems. It seems to me that the whole industry is suffering from feature and complexity bloat, much to the expense of security and productivity. It should be a goal to a) realize that bloat exists, and b) take measures to simplify the IT infrastructure/operations. You *can* achieve the same results with a less complex system if you just try. The problem is that most "applications" these days are far more complex and bloated than what they need to be. Be carefully selecting and redesigning IT infrastructure and operations/use, a lot of the current problems in IT can be eliminated. Regards, Frank Musing: The avalanche is already in progress. Folks should try to move to the sidelines instead of staying ahead of the flow... it will catch up with you eventually. -- It is said that the Internet is a public utility.
