Tech standards not as important as they used to be ?
I was cited by IDC yesterday regarding standardized technology platforms.
Yes, there are some truth to that. The shift to standardize on communication protocols (WS-* etc...); which by the way gets more important; has created a world were the technology choice in the "backbone" is of less importance. IT of tomorrow will be based on functionality, capability and value and less of previous technology choices..
It is a good world :-) .
