I read that story like 5 years ago and was all 'oh wow automated management's coming any day now surely check out bigdog'. Still waiting! It's a really convincing narrative but I get the feeling the system described would poo poo itself at the first sign of real-life complexity/unpredictability (like irrational customers or employee brain farts) and you'd spend years with at best reduced management while bugs got ironed out.
