Ab Initio - A to Z

I'll be the first to admit that Ab Initio is a very interesting company largely because they choose to market and sell in ways that many find outside the norm. It appears that the folks at ITToolbox are definitely smitten. Over the past week or so they have covered Ab Initio in multiple ways. I enjoyed reading the blog posts and thought you might as well.

Shawn,

This is all very interesting, but it really looks to me like an Ab-Initio sales person is trying to make a splash. I find a lack of substance on HOW it solves problems, along with lack of definition on what specific problems it is meant to address.

Ab-Initio is a very good tool, don't get me wrong - but like every other tool it has it's place. The author of that blog seems to forget that we don't want to prune a tree with a chain-saw, or that we don't want to dig a hole for a potted plant by using an industrial strength back-hoe, or that we aren't interested in paving a highway by hand.

Cheers,
Dan L
