I do not use the internet explorer on the mac and if I am using a windows machine I mostly use opera or firefox. Why am I telling you this, well that means I do not very regularly test on internet explorer. The previous post from Freddie with all the nice Youtube movies did perfectly work on the mac, but Freddie could not see the movies. So we started debugging. Finally when I got to this website:

I started to understand the problem. The browser was missing the flash plugin and the format of the embedding of youtube movies was not good. So I changed the links and yes it works. It turns out that internet explorer does not come with a warning and a download option for unavailable plugins when using the embed tag.

Here is the solution as I took him from the mentioned website.

</object>

Long live google for searching, bloggers for posting solutions and internet explorer for sticking to standards

So let’s start with the Analysts. I have written about the danger of blindly following the analysts in my Blog “Do IT vendors have to buy analyst ratings? I suggest they do – if they want to survive“. Greg seek the truth behind the industry Analyst’s recommendation. Will Greg be left hanging?

After we have convinced our C-level we arrived in the middle of the vendor selection. After reading 20 whitepapers, getting 5 vendors in house, visiting two SOA congresses Panic comes to me. Find out what happens when Gret tries to swallow three different SOA pitches in one day. Will he save the day, or will Greg have to chck the project?

We have down selected to one vendor and are in the middle of our drag and drop excercise to wire all those Services into a nice modelled Business Process, but wait… are there some problems? Does reality not comply to the marketing world of the vendor? Greg is concerned too that the SOA team can’t stay on target. He needs a vacation, but his cruise will have to wait as he needs to find some answers which his boss told him to find on this SOA Conference. Will Greg find the magic he needs to put his team back on course?

After our succesfull implementation of SOA and BPM with all these promises about Agililty, Flexibility, re-use the question comes from the same C-level to show the ROI. As written in my blog entries “Industrialization with BPM a Hoax we need People First!”, “What does Route Planning has to do with Business Process Management?” i doubt seriously, if the promised ROI and agility will be achieved. Greg is faced with the challenge “proving the ROI to the suits.” Will Greg deliver the goods? watch
