Story: IT is key to future business growth
diversity and decentralization
Roberto, well worded feedback. My compliments.
However, rather then seeing IT in a destroying role I rather like to see IT as an enabler. The translator between everything common.
Furthermore, I sincerely believe that diversity and decentralization is the key to keep the whole secure, highly available and inviting to innovative new solutions to thus forever thrive markets and businesses.
Indeed, by keeping things simple (KISS), breaking things down to their common denominator, will only help. After all, seamlessly interoperating capabilities are not limited to single instances. It's just a question of making sure that diverse systems can interact with each other. Just like the alphabet, morse code, ASCII, SMTP, DNS, and others have done before.
Perhaps the trick is to see things not our (or theirs) way, but everyones way. In the long term view that would help us all (and thus the individual) but short term views, greed and personal interests do stand in the way of overall corporate (and social) citizen behaviour. It's a dog eat dog world today but until the dogs understand that "one far all, and all for one" is the way to make sure that the third dog doesn't run away with the bone we'll have to educate the lot of the benefits of an equal level playing field for all market involved.
