Open Systems Standardization by Carl F. Cargill Pdf
This books addresses why standardization is critical to business success--and how to use it to your advantage. Everybody talks about standards, but few people realize how dramatically the entire information technology standards process has changed, and how critical it has become. No longer are technical specifications an end in themselves. Now, standards are about business success, both for a product's suppliers and users. In the era of the virtual organization, companies simply can't survive without cleanly defined, standard interfaces among all the technologies--and people--that contribute value to their products. This book helps readers understand the trends in standardization, especially the increasingly central role of commercially driven standards.
