    "I am really impressed with your book. Its a heavy "Bible" given all the experience and knowledge you can imagine in the fields of IRM. This book deserves to be a bestseller like 'The Da Vinci Code.' It's a real treasure of knowledge for people involved with IRM, Enterprise Engineering and Systems Development. MBA deserves a lot of credit from the industry for their achievements in this field.
