At 5:00 a.m. on any given morning, I'm in bed, curled into the
fetal position, snoring slightly, and maybe drooling a little, with
two hours to go before I rain down the first of a series of blows
on my clock radio's snooze button. Not so with ORCLVille's Floyd Teter.
Five a.m. yesterday found Floyd on a train platform, with
brain fully engaged, drawing an intellectual dotted line to connect
the
Oracle" Excellence Awards, globalization, Thomas Friedman, and the
future of enterprise software...
[M]aybe one of the big value propositions for enterprise
apps should be the ability to support the decomposition and
distribution of work at increasingly lower levels of granularity.
This could be a very appealing business proposition to global
enterprises (and, when it comes down to it, aren't we all global
enterprises?). I see the potential for this type of thing with
Fusion Middleware, especially BPEL and composite apps. Don't see it
so much in the packaged apps world, although Fusion Apps may
eventually represent an incremental move in that
direction.
You can follow Floyd's train of thought in his post: ORCLville:
Globalization at 5 a.m.
Maybe I should start getting up earlier...
