I'm particularly frustrated with all the claims companies make when they tout their performance numbers. Frankly I've never been particularly fond of industry benchmarks. But hey, that's my personal opinion. Companies should also be interested in making sure customers are highly satisfied with the performance they are getting in their specific environments. Not just building for a benchmark. In my years of experience, people don't just buy on performance, they take into account many other variables as you well know. In the meantime, we will continue to see all kinds of marketing games and offers around the performance topic. Seems like it never ends. Companies should always strive to improve performance in every release that they produce, however as we all know it is important to focus on listening to what customers and prospects want and frankly it is not always about better performance.
