I read his bio and all it says is that he's worked as a consultant. Consultants don't deploy anything (though they will claim they do). You bring in a consultant to advise you but they never make the actual decision or even necessarily know what thought process is going into that decision. In this case the proof is in the post itself. Not only does he not address all the factors I mentioned above he focuses on things Enterprises simply don't care about. Again I say: Support is king. If you write about Enterprise IT without even mentioning support you don't know what the heck you're talking about. I'm not blaming consultants. The nature of a consultants job (never actually doing the work) creates an enviornment where he or she is detached from what's really going on. But that detachment means their opinions on IT computing and what drives it are next to useless.
