Low integrity is at an all-time high in the computer industry.
When promoting products, it has become commonplace for suppliers to use excessive hype and make bogus claims. Customers should also be cautioned that the vast majority of white papers and technology reports are themselves little more than paid advertisements, works funded by suppliers or authored by individuals with vested interests. In this climate, customers making technology decisions make wrong choices, especially those that are less technical who must rely heavily on the expertise of outsiders. For large corporations, using the wrong technology wastes millions of dollars in false starts, failed projects, and lost productivity. Customers and readers have every right to know which articles, reports, and white papers represent independent thinking, and which do not.
