Application Subjugation

That title was too good to pass up. So how do we go about 'subjugating', or taking control of, our Notes applications? So, I had a little fun, but here's my top ten list!

10 Reasons to Gain Control of Your Notes Applications

Without control:
    1. IT can’t be aligned with the business. (This is somewhat important since the business usually pays for these projects.)
    2. manual processes will continually lead to errors. (If you don’t believe me, just try typing “d space k space” 100 times in a row.)
    3. you won’t be able to measure end user satisfaction. (If you can’t measure it, they probably aren’t satisfied.)
    4. change requests take longer to implement. (This can result in the infamous change request to the change request.)
    5. costly downtime will happen more often. (As it turns out, inexpensive downtime will happen more often too.)
    6. development groups won’t be able to function as a development team. (Even development teams of one will have trouble agreeing on the version number and the source code version of the production code.)
    7. regulatory audits become disruptive, time-consuming, costly and labor intensive. (I guess that’s redundant.)
    8. risks become significantly greater. (And unlike gambling, that does not mean the payoff is bigger.)
    9. IT will be misused, abused and confused. (Hopefully that’s not the usual case.)
    10. business opportunities will be squandered. (I just wanted to say “squandered”.)
