A Story of Assuaged SSA Alacrity
August 6th, 2006 by Adam Cuothe
There she was, SSA Global had gathered up her armful of flowers, tieing a pretty bow around the middle. She was matched in youthful exuberence by the ribbon that gripped her middle-aged pony tail. All the pretty flowers in her collection, bringing joy (one hoped) to customers buzzing toward the fold. There were just so many, waiting to be plucked. Where would she stop? One bloom after the next, the iridescent Infiniums and billowy Baans, brightening the bouquet with colours as varied as the plastic patches of an artificial vomit gag. With no end to this collection in site, some customers were cautious and may have worried they’d be overshadowed by the taller stems of the bouquet. No worries, said Global gladiolusly, and continued collecting.
But ‘lo with the bow near capacity, SSA saw more to gather just beyond a tall, golden gate. Before she could pass she met a greater collector with a bigger bouquet and was immediately plucked herself, to be arranged in the Infor fold (next to cousins Systems Unionis and Autumn Extensity).
Was anything still missing? Perhaps some Sage? With this wild mixture, florist Infor must hope against allergic reactions.
