Ready for a chuckle? Try this new, comprehensive assessment tool for analysing your infrastructure. The gruelling, incisive, no-stone-unturned assessment (all 9 multiple choice questions of it) gives a totally bogus indication of your company's infrastructure state.

I'll exclude technicalities (eg...
