Finally (fed up with the .Net fiasco?), someone asks straight, hard questions about what HP thinks its doing with its vacuous Adaptive Enterprise (ugh.) "platform".

Spoiler: HP's marketing jabberhead gives all of the usual useless squawk, and it doesn't really mean anything.
Q: Is outsourcing part of AE?
A: It can be, but it is not the only play we're running. First we sit down and ask about the business strategy to set some boundaries for us.


"play we're running"? Who says that? Who talks like that? Does HP send these guys to idiot camp? Here's another reeking burst of cliche'-infested veepspeak:

Adaptive Enterprise defines an entity where a company will be able to dynamically readjust to changes that affect its business.
