Quality, Not Quantity

| He had ported his software to Digital's Unix
| system, and now the workstation hardware only
| cost 50,000 to run it, so the TCO had been
| reduced from 2.5 million dollars to 550,000
| dollars, and was really only taking twice as
| long to run on the workstation than it had
| been running on the mainframe, but at one-
| fifth the cost. He was selling a lot more
| copies of his software, and of course he was
| also selling quite a few of our workstations.
| That was why Digital had invited him to our
| booth.

Why Standards and Open Source Will Save You Money
,----[ Quote ]
| Youâve probably seen a commercial at some
| point with some guy throwing money in the
| air, declaring his intent to âSave you
| money!â Of course, the deal invariably
| required that you pay money to âsaveâ
| money, which makes marginal sense at best.
| Still, this perennial exuberant exclamation
| has served as a regular reminder of the
| natural human desire to pay less than
| retail price (whatever that means).
|
| Saving money these days carries vastly more
| weight than it has in previous years â and
| that trend will surely continue throughout
| 2010, one way or another. The reason is
| simply because lots of money really did
| just disappear, and new money will take
| time to infiltrate the system (read: your
| pocket). So, what's an information manager
| to do in the meantime?
|
| [...]
|
| This is where standards really shine, and
| what master data management is all about.
| By employing standards at the semantic
| level, with a corporate taxonomy, for
| example, a company can manage its metadata
| in a most meaningful way, and that will
| make for much happier â and less expensive
| â times down the road when new systems come
| online.
