If there is one thing we have learned in our 22 years of
experience, it is that even if technology is constantly changing,
one thing remains the same: we must always take the time to
master a technology before implementing it. But, even before that,
we must fully comprehend our needs. The best way to achieve
this is to work as a team. Including personnel from all areas of
the enterprise can only make a better product in the end.
Thus we dedicate this book to you, the reader, in hopes that
it will help you achieve this goal.
