There is another good use for white papers such as this. When trying
to "sell" the use of a specific technology to non-specialists (i.e.,
purse-string holders), this kind of thing is excellent ammunition.
Many tech-savvy decision makers are not specialists, but can
understand well-written technical descriptions, even though they
don't have time to personally try out all the alternatives.
Providing them information such as this whitepaper is a very good way
to help their decision-making process. In fact, when this message
arrived in my emailbox, I was in the middle of forwarding the
announcement to a technically-aware consulting client, who has been
back and forth about what DB-serving platform to use. Great job,
Jordan!
