Forecasting is more than that (trite) expression. It's also (for example) such things as the number of transactions per ABM (and how many new ones are installed), how many RSPs, accounts (plus growth), business projections (by non-IT, so there's a CYA involved), or, in wholesale, how many orders, in stock clearing how many trades, in insurance how many policies/claims, in medical how many beds, in x how much y? >If you've never been where you are going, it's hard to navigate the rocks and >shoals.
