the Zilla ! vs Business User

“The Zilla” has become my new nickname in office (with all credits to Collen for this amazing initiative) after I have started with bugzilla project to manage development activity at Chennai office. And the same guy says that I talk in C++ when he talks to me in English. I was wondering what makes me/us different from others, I think i have spend more time learning business process engineering, on-demand businesses, web design and marketing then with learning PHP or AJAX. So I thought of comparing the software that we use everyday to see if I can find any key differences in the way we work

An assumed list of tools that a business guy will use

  • Windows
  • Outlook
  • CRM
  • Web Meeting
  • MSN Messenger
  • Word
  • Excel
  • Powerpoint
  • Internet Explorer
  • Skype
  • Notepad
  • Microsoft SQL Server

Technologies/Concepts that they work with everyday

  • Saas
  • Strategic Planning
  • EPM
  • Strategy Maps
  • BSC
  • Six Sigma
  • BI
  • EFQM
  • TQM
List of tools that I use everyday

  • grub (the boot loader)
  • ubuntu (my operating system)
  • gnome
    (window manager – I tried KDE, didn’t look well)
  • pidgin (MSN messenger)
  • wine (to run some windows apps)
  • eclipse (the development environment)
  • php
    (one of the main languages that I speak)
  • umbrello (UML)
  • dojo (the JS toolkit)
  • dijit (more into dojo)
  • jquery (the other JS toolkit)
  • apache (the big – boss)
  • evolution (my email client)
  • firefox (obviously)
  • firebug (yes!)
  • subversion (source code management)
  • bugzilla (work management)
  • nautilus (file manager)
  • gedit (more that just notepad… )
  • shell
    (well the all illusive command prompt)
  • sudo (‘I am the god’ mode)
  • nano (notepad when I become god)
  • emacs (1 more)

Technologies/Concepts that I work with everyday

  • JSON
  • XML
  • REST
  • SOAP
  • CRM
  • BI
  • SaaS

From the above comparision (length of the list)we infer that they are obviously doing lesser work then developers (he.. he.. i know i m gonna get kicked when collen sees this). They have fancy names for thier software, the only well known name in the list of my tools is firefox. But I never managed to understand what EFQM means???
