There was a time when the term “Open-Source” had not even been thought of within the confines of a think tank or within the general public’s privacy, which is all but too common with new concepts upon inception and first communications. Companies saw a clear correspondence between more functionality, its subsequent value and valuation, amortization, and private exploitation. At some point, companies realized what some would view as the fruition of predictions by Engels that in a world of controlled and planned value, persons would find their place, functionality, and purpose in society without monetary gain. Enter Open Source.
One day we had an industry that can be considered much more than a cottage, focused on virtual patent wars while everyone is in mutual infringement of technological concepts. The next day, present-day household name companies decided to open source their technology, but only after the end of the Dot Com era. Very interesting correlation indeed. Some might argue that through an economic downturn, the velocity of money slowing caused a need for balance in the form of speeding progress. An uncontrolled attempt by the market to regulate itself and rush to produce value only to calculate, amortize and speculate upon said value to cause the same predicament and risk stability for short-term gains. The boom and bust cycle has been discussed ardently ad nauseum. Technology is to be the solution to the unpredictable nature of mankind to produce harmony, or is it?
Internet bandwidth and computation power have become sufficient for anyone on this earth to start and run a successful business with only sly planning and execution. Solutions have been created, most notably through web applications that have lowered the barrier to entry in and for every business process. Certainly, paying a few specialized and optimized services that can integrate and communicate to have a well-oiled business sounds attractive. Millions of goals have been achieved, yet not in a purely decentralized fashion. Data has become the new gold, and that is the rumor on the street. Buying the rumor and selling the news is probably one of the least broadcast secrets. Seldom heard.
The question is, how many web applications and terms of use with how much verbiage to review is your business process encumbered with? Do you own the data that your organization produces? Have you captured the value of process data and secured it, knowing its value? Our company enjoys every chance to make sure you know just where your data is and be certain of the extent of use. Custom application development with subsequent cloud migration in conjunction with the implementation of technologies such as TLS 1.3 bring us here and now. When and where can we make your operations truly yours?
