A few years ago CA ran an ad campaign around a cardboard software salesman - the unresponsive, static type.
Jevon McDonald, a fellow EI, reports he was at a conference recently where 2 vendors were running static HTML mockups of their "next generation portal" and the guys on the floor kept imploring people not to click on anything. In the end one of them just unplugged the mouse. Now that is what we can agree is unresponsive, static, cardboard software.
Wonder if this happened at Waste Management. In demos, it alleges, SAP led Waste Management to believe that it was looking at the finished product when in reality it was mock-up.
Here's what I don't get - given the business they are in, how could they have missed the recycle logo on the cardboard? -)
