Why CIOs Don't Care About Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| They're fighting the last war. The 90's were all about replacing
| creaky, obsolete, home-grown apps with packaged software. IT
| organizations suffered through years of poorly performing,
| functionally deficient, extended rollouts of enterprise
| applications. Now that CIOs have finally got these applications
| under control, they want to focus on optimizing them. There's
| only one problem with that approach: it misses the software
| revolution going on under their noses. It's reminiscent of the
| PC revolution -- compared to the then-existing hardware
| infrastructures, PC were laughable little toys.
