In a recent article I was reading, David Greenfield was discussing the value of software suites. Currently, when you buy Microsoft Office, you get everything. What if I want Outlook from Microsoft and Lotus Symphony from IBM? With this new revolution of Enterprise 2.0, how can we be assured that each and every aspect of the suite is the best quality we can find?
One CEO thought it would be better to buy the software parts separately.
I raised this question with an enterprise architect at a major financial institution and he insisted that Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 applications should be purchased separately, this way you can get best-of-breed products.
