From the Author
The buzzwords in each vertical are a challenge to learn. My expertise is in designing & implementing software and I learned the "speak" of warehousing, operationgs, purchasing, and transportation. Even within the Information Technology group, there are specialists in EDI & XML with the special acronyms. Let's blast through the special key phrase talk and get serious about making solutions work! My hope & dream in this book is to help professionals move forward as fast as they can go! One road block to moving fast is communicating well - and understanding those key phrases in related business groups that we must deal with!
