Actually, I agree with Tracy.
I don't need to know about network security (right now, at least) and have no
interest in Marni's list of topics. But to that list, I would add:
ERP, network ops, data warehousing, non sql databasing, sw inventory and
control, and finance operations (front, middle, back office, equities,
securities, money market). Anyone else wanna learn the deep dark secrets of gscc
clearance? (why am I hearing a resounding echo?)
really folks, if you look at other tool conferences, they address the tool, not
the content. And stc does try to address the idea of "tool" to its widest range,
not the content.
