ING Life Adopts Open Source To Expand Business
,----[ Quote ]
| "When I first heard of the migration, I was very
| apprehensive. I thought the cultural shift would
| be very hard," says Venkat Reddy Peddolla, deputy
| manager, customer service, Secunderabad, ING
| Life. "My biggest fear was adapting to a whole
| new range of changes. My level of technical
| expertise isn't very high. Making adjustments to
| Linux was a big deal."

Asay and Tiemann, mano a mano.

| What Matt doesnât seem to get is that this split-
| personality marketing of âwe do all this open
| stuff, except for this scarce bit weâre charging
| you for!â is a prize example of a house divided
| unto itself. You canât sensibly talk about the
| benefits of open source without contradicting
| yourself completely when it comes to the paywall
| behind which your proprietary software sits:
| basically you have to fess up that the open
| source bits are the bait.
|
| What Michaelâs post illustrates nicely is not
| just a clarity of purpose, but a 100% commitment
| to what they tell their customers: no ifs, no
| buts, but a single compelling story. Customers
| understand the value they offer, and thatâs why
| they make money.
