The term originates from "loose guns".
By necessity they used mobile communication since 1820s about and adopted faster to new technologies than normal consumers did - eg. the gatling gun and the 7mm Remington. Were also the pioneers of "script kiddies" hacking (particularly BDC programms in the 90's) and the "external inertia" methodology (customers no longer have access to their own OS and DB systems because you cannot get past the "free lancers" in basis).
SAP answered with DATASET filter commands, SXPG and made the gateway remote enabled to help customers gain control.
In SAP they now mostly use Excel and SE16N and are project managers after the financial turmoils of 2008/2009 forced them to go inhouse.
Most were smart enough not to use MS Project again once they were inhouse. In 200 years of evolution that is certainly the biggest achievement (as a generalisation).
