MSFT Financial Analyst Meeting: Ray Ozzie:
“The world is evolving into a highly networked form in which the barriers to participation in almost everything we do are crumbling down%u2014the barriers to sharing, the barriers to contributing and learning, the barriers to working together. As more participants come online, platforms and marketplaces will serve to make exchanges between us more liquid and more efficient. And the patterns inherent in our activities online will enable the creation of entirely new value that we don’t even understand today.”
Interesting transcript of Ray Ozzie’s speech this week. I’m fascinated by Microsoft, and particularly Ray Ozzie’s vision of a services-based architecture.
As well as conveniently agreeing with the whole software-as-a-service approach, it’s interesting to see how corporate environments absorb these idea in practice.
