I doubt that I need to outline the world economic downturn going on - but the latest thinking is that we're headed for a double dip recession, or a prolonged period of very slow growth with a high number of unemployed workers nationwide. Time to think about how to cut costs and enhance an organization's capabilities:
A strong interoperable data approach lays the groundwork for lower costs over the coming years:
1. Far less custom development needs to take place
2. Outside managed providers can be linked in easily, allowing pay as you go approaches
3. Tools to manage and maintain the data can be more standardized
4. Partner (known and unknown) interaction can happen faster, giving more flexibility
5. Reliance and costs for customer applications can be reduced
Much like the introduction of the shipping container, once the initial change resistance has been overcome, and once the vision becomes clear, the new process can accelerate rapidly and have many positive impacts not anticipated in the early project days.
