Nearly five years ago, I wrote a white paper that resonated around the industry like a three-point shot clanging off the front of the rim as time expired. A "brick," in the vernacular of basketball; nonetheless, I view it as some of my finest work. The paper, "The New Garage," takes as its premise that cloud computing -- not simply on-demand or Software as a Service (SaaS) -- and platforms would be the next big thing in our business. The title derives from the ancient and honorable tradition of inventors tinkering at home in basements and garages to build the new, new thing.

Denis,

Ever given a thought on what seems to be the driving force behind adoption of platform standards? That way we can further drive cloud adoption further and faster.

It kind of reminds me of the evolution of DVD, with groupings and eventually real, all encompassing, 'borders' standards.

Looking forward to reading more of your 'bricks'!

Best.
