The holy grail of the DoD....
-
My boss came in my office today to ask how we could all be NetReady and NetCentric ASAP.... I don't think he liked my answer.... :) I really have to work on my tact.... The holy grail of military buzzwords.... Everyone talks to everyone, everyone understands everyone, no confusion, no playgrounds, no competing standards.... Wake me when it is more than a buzzword.... So how much should we ask for to become NetReady and NetCentric? :rolleyes:

NetReady = Be Internet ready? NetCentric = Have operations be centered around the 'Net? Just my 2 cents...

except that is exactly what you want to avoid, except you must be "net-ready" and "net-centric" they have no idea what the buzzwords mean, they just want everyone to be it, because it sounds important!

I think that is the bottom line on buzzwords. Sounds important but no one really knows ( or maybe even cares ) what it really means :)

Amazing, the DoD is using a buzzword that is not a TLA? The hot thing when I was in the service was TQM. Of course at that point TQM was seen as an outdated fad in the civilian world.

Did I say they were avoiding that? Net Centric ___ [insert appropriate word]

At this point they're probably running out of available TLAs to use. :rolleyes:

NetCentric and NetReady refer to applications that make their business functions available to others...If I had an application that promoted people and another application that cut paychecks, I may want to join the services together via WebServices, etc. Funny thing is that most multi-million dollar contracts are still written in TCL on Unix and have not heard of such progress..:~
