@dahowlett Can SAP have a kimono ? Wouldn’t leiderhosen be more appropriate ? in reply to dahowlett #
@dahowlett To mix metaphors, dropping the kimono ==> laying back and thinking of the queen, not naked transparency in reply to dahowlett #
@dahowlett If it was all over for MISO tmrw what would you do? <== s/w doesn’t stop working if vendor dies, tho Customers will need risk mgt #
@dahowlett I agree with need for transparency, but Vendors won’t open up till we show them the love as well (i.e. they grow their business) in reply to dahowlett #

@dahowlett Just been to a birthday party for a 30 year old application – see http://bit.ly/nqAsw in reply to dahowlett #
@dahowlett point ==> once an enterprise application is bedded in, existence of of the original endor is irrelevant. in reply to dahowlett #
@dahowlett OK – now I get you But there’s no technical reason why the MISO s/w can’t be replaced by open source. HOWEVER.. in reply to dahowlett #
@dahowlett … I need to sell those open source tools as a low risk (not just low cost) SOLUTION in reply to dahowlett #
@AndyBeard sounds like the voice of a very recent experience !!! in reply to AndyBeard #
@dahowlett correct – OSS must be seen as low risk AND effective, before its a viable business solution – regardless of it’s technical merits in reply to dahowlett #
