Poll: What Does the Term "Advanced Solutions" Mean to You?

It is meaningless. How are advanced solutions better than the "usual" solutions?

There's several meanings for 'solution'. I think you're using the one that means 'solved' as in it solves the problems entirely, so there is no need for anything more advanced?

I don't know how dictionary- or grammatically- correct it is, but in at least in a few workplaces, the word 'solution' when tied to a customer has meant a 'customer solution', meaning 'a customer's implementation of (say) some products put together'. This just differentiates it from a 'system' which can be similar but not necessarily put together for any specific customer. The customer solution can still be poor(bad), inefficient etc.

I could be totally wrong.. curious how others use the word solution too, but personally I've not thought of a customer solution as being the thing that (always) meets their needs. This is tying it to the word 'customer', which isn't mentioned anywhere, but I don't know if tying it to another word would change the meaning yet again, but I think it would change it!

Good points.

One more note: I don't know the situation right now, but 99 % of IDEs use the term Project as a bundle of source code and other files related to one target (hw, sw package etc.). However, about 10 years ago, IDEs from Microsoft changed the term from Project to Solution (no sure whether is it still the case as I don't use Microsoft tools). Strictly speaking, it makes sense... Do you need to do a project just to do a project or do you want to create a solution? (By the way, our parents know the term Project only for construction - buildings, bridges etc. - it is from the time before Project Management was brought to our country.)

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend using words like "advanced", "next generation" or even just "new" related to technologies. It is relevant only to the date of introduction. After a few years it becomes obsolete anyway.
