November 10th, 2008Enterprise Technology
Been pondering the use of hi tech stuff including open source in the enterprise and had a bizzare thought
May be it is not to do with the Tech but the People
Top 5-10% of people do the clever stuff, but clever people move on and dont always want to supoprt what they have build
To make somethiing truly enterprise class it needs to be more than clever, but simple and supportable too. Supportable by those people not in the top 5-10%
The Latest tech only works if it is understood by the masses. Education and training helps But true understanding is limited to a select few
This philosyphy is a contribution to Google’s success. A search engine that just just that “search”
No more no less
