On Friday I was asked to give a presentation of Thingamy to an audience of non-techies.
My preparation and energy was a tad hampered by a bad cold and three days of non-stop meetings at SAP TechEd.
The presentation format was seven minutes which accentuated the issue of getting over a simple message of what Thingamy really is. No time for a half hour demo, no time to take the horse buggy and whip makers out on a ride in the Daimler automobile prototype in 1886.
But looking into baffled faces certainly kicks you into thinking mode. Lot’s of ideas and paper use ensued.
Until this morning when my wife said the word, this is what Thingamy is:
Work processor.
Precisely, just like Word processors frameworks the smallish process of creating a letter or a report, Thingamy frameworks the somewhat longer processes of delivering a service or a product.
What do you think? Does it resonate?
