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.
