ABOUT THIS ITEM

Annotation
16th Updated and Expanded Edition. "I wrote this book for those of us new and old to the world's most exciting industries -- telecommunications, networking, and the Internet. I deliberately didn't write a technical book. I wrote a business book. I explain technical concepts in non-technical, business language that anyone in business can understand. Some of my definitions are short. Some are encyclopedic. My focus is totally practical. What the term means. How it fits into the framework of the greater industry. How you can benefit. What pitfalls to watch for. Use this book in your day-to-day business life. Dip into it before e a meeting with a vendor, a customer, or a boss. Dip into it as you write or read a sales proposal. I've got 19 years in this book. By now, it's getting pretty darn good." --Harry Newton, Author, Newton's Telecom Dictionary

There are new standards, like TAPI and MAPI; new technologies, like voice over IP and extranets; new applications like unified messaging and collaborative computing. The author, Harry Newton, adds, changes, updates, and expands over 100 definitions a week just to keep up with the rapid pace of innovation. . Sales people can include the definitions in proposals to customers.Management can use the definitions to understand technicalities.
