Weddings and Marriages

Received an interesting SMS from Warid/Airtel that revealed to me that the two were well over the pomp and circumstance of the wedding and were now officially into the marriage.

The SMS described a new method of payment for the internet service that was initially used for Warid Telcom. Well now after some work, and the official merger the older Warid model can now work in the Airtel environment. Much like the user who get older scratch cards can use them with both Warid and Airtel lines!

You ask why this is so significant?

Well because mergers are taking place on a technical level which in my view is much harder. A little like couples who begin to navigate around each other and the little idiosyncrasies that exist behavior. The lonely techie who sits in the office working on complex code to enable devices to talk to servers across multiple platforms and who builds databases to manage these interactions while trying to maintain security can be a daunting task.

Merge all these technologies to work seamlessly together with limited error and you will not be surprised why he asks for close to six figures and chooses to grow a beard and arrive in sandals!

Thumbs up if you ask me!
