Mr. Redman,
I think I understand your defining a bug as opposed to a virus.I even agree with your analysis as far as it goes.What I don't understand and what you have not addressed is this:
You will not know if your suppliers are compliant until after the fact.You[a company] could receive bad data from one source or from multiple sources.The amount of problems could be greater than your staff could handle[especially short term].Then you have to deal with residual failures[By the way what is the residual rate for your company?]Then the power goes off.If any one let alone all three of these contingencies happen at the same time what do you do?
This is not hype.Please don't hide behind that mantra.Either explain
why:1Your suppliers will all be compliant. 1b there will be no residual failures or 1c The power cannot fail.If you can't explain the
above what contingency plans would be in place.After all in your prior post you refer to bad data causing you to delete and restart.How does one restart without power?What if your bad data was hundreds of entrys or thousands?Would this not cause your company to try and reorder from
your suppliers thus compounding the problem?
J.L.T.
