A personal letter from ABSA about 22seven... Wait for ABSA Online, Andy! Please!
WOW. I'm not even an ABSA client and they hunted me down on LinkedIn to send me this personalised email (probably just the "Dear Andy" bit, hence don't feel bad talking about it) about 22seven, the new PFM startup in South Africa. ABSA are being extremely aggressive about this. And in some ways I can understand why. Otherwise, there are some big ouch'es in this one. Knee jerk if anything.

The most interesting thing about Nanotech (forget for a moment that it is by very definition - awesome) is how it will effect "business as usual". Especially with regards to inventory management and supply chains. What happens to our world when the gap between production and consumption becomes non existent? Think about who loses out... Manufacture, Wholesale, Retail... Are you in any of those businesses?
