EDS "Airplane"

[cospelero]

The correct term is "Canada geese," not "Canadian geese."

Working on computers in a tax office in tax season: gotta fix problems but can't take everything down to fix problems

Building airplanes in the sky, wouldn't have it any other way :)

[Qraizer]

I'm verifier of high critical software. Aviation, nuclear power, medicine. One of projects is named the EDS. It's cool :)

[hasanavi]

I like this job... with face :( ha ha ha...

[ccolay1]

This is what my boss is trying to do....sadly it doesn't work well in all environments.

[ablestmage]

The guy at 00:44 reminds me of the "only read the articles" guy from the Good-o-Meter video, voice is very very similar seems like

[pauljs75]

Speaking of EDS ads, anybody got the car factory one with Suki?

(And yes, it was funny. Not to mention the point it makes is fairly valid too.)

Can't find the damn thing anywhere. :( Yet I remember it well.

[krzychukula]

If programmers will be building a plane...

[mackat4ck]

This is what software companies do all the time! They are always trying to hide it though. I can't believe that these guys are trying to pass it off as a good thing!

[ROTFArcee]

LOL WTF

[sackman11]

This is exactly what these idiots promise the customer. They promise the impossible, then all the project managers bail the fuck out when they realize that they can't deliver. I am blown away by how accurate this depiction of this company is.

Truth in advertising, baby!

[jerryneyk]

@sackman11 You bet! I used to work at a company that heavily used Arthur Anderson. They were cookie cutter kids right out of management school, thought they knew everything. Take away the hype you have arrogant know-it-alls out of touch with the real world and who leave it all for the others to work out once they leave.

[fefethepilot]

i don't know... this video is... beutifull. realy... i like tooooo much ! ;-)

thank's man.

[fuglygurlie]

hahhahahaa this reminds me of the air conditioning i experienced on a flight.

[ajgolfer1]

sometimes the air temperature at altitude hits 60 below, its brisk! its refreshing!

[TheRooster602]

"I love this job..." [tough guy chokes up, can't go on... LoL]..

Orange juice in the face... that happens in real life, too.

It would be cool to do HALO jumps off commercial airliners, though.

[teamsquirrels]

"we're not just building a plane, we're building a dream" ROFL

[Selinja]

I love it when the woman says that. *sniff* That brings a tear to my eye.

[IwantaBarqsrootbeer]

LOL

[FortJB7]

lol i love wen the passengers are minding their own business and they're hair is flying everywhere ana like, papers smack their faces and stuff lmao

[HomoOcculi]

flying into inability

[SlyManPX]

Madness!

[fuzzybeard2016]

Madness?

THIS...IS...BOEING!!!

[Qraizer]

@fuzzybeard2016, yes and no. New Boeing is not so raw already

[Shiningnicely]

Yes

[Shiningnicely]

years at EDS summed up unintentionally: chaotic, stupid, unnecessarily poorly planned, late implementations, reactive over proactive, unsafe. Nice ad:)

[dwarftoad]

Doesn't the image of the "clients" barely hanging on, and enduring hardship and missing or nonfunctional airplane parts actually capture the true experience of deployment and integration of a huge and complex, and ridiculously expensive, and yet buggy and untested software system, though?

[fuzzybeard2016]

@ dwarftoad: You mean like SAP? *evil grin*

[ShaunHellend]

This is great =]

[cnugent2]

pandaphil so true

[pandaphil]

Another failed attempt to recapture the magic of the 'Cat Herding' commercial.

[dave4248]

That's right pandaphil. I worked at EDS when this ad came out. It really backfired on them (us) They made it look as though the customer had a rough time of it. They s/have had the airplane passengers relaxing comfortably in an enclosed cabin, while the workers were freezing on the half built wings outside. That would have conveyed the message better.

[UTAOUB]

@dave4248 You're 100% correct -- but I enjoyed the commercial, even so!

[lovebrotherjustlove]

@dave4248 Really great point! Dead on for customer impact and perception.
