Observations on Software - Markets, Technology, and Companies
Wednesday, June 12, 2002
I appreciate that naming companies and products has become an extremely difficult task. As a result, there have been some strange monikers produced as of late. But this one takes the prize...PwC Consulting has reportedly decided to change it's name to Monday. Not on Monday, to Monday. Seems they wanted something that was global. Does that mean they'll be Lundi in France? Montag in Germany? And if you're going to name your company after a day of the week, why Monday? Nobody really likes Monday - haven't you heard of Blue Monday? The restauraunt guys already have Friday - now they were thinking. Maybe Wednesday would be good - Wednesday's are ok, a hopeful, middle of the week thing.
I guess we'll believe that when we see it.
Mixed news for security professionals - for lower and mid-level staffers, expect to be taking on more responsibilities with little increase in pay or tools. But for high level individuals with both security and business expertise, the sky is the limit.
