I guess the future will also bring some methodologies / standards in between SOA and AOA. OSGi for example is a candidate that could perfectly fill in here... The big question is if that concept will be adopted not only by the open source followers, but also by the commercial (suite) vendors like Oracle, SAP or IBM. They could make the (AOA) life harder if they want to. Would be interesting to hear about some real life examples of AOA out of your daily life. Cheers, Guido Hi Andrew,

]]> Comment on VRM – controlling your own data by Graham Sadd http://openenterprise.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/vrm-controlling-your-own-data/#comment-70 Graham Sadd Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:44:05 +0000 http://openenterprise.wordpress.com/?p=212#comment-70 This is a key point from Andrew and often misunderstood. VRM is not anti-organisation - well, not those who care about their customers and recognise that 'People Are Our Greatest Asset'. Embracing VRM will provide organisations with more accurate and relevant data about their customers at less cost and risk of non-compliance than the current one-way traffic of CRM. It contributes to a trusted relationship between buyer and seller, and TRUST will be a key differentiator in the future. This is a key point from Andrew and often misunderstood.

For example i might allow Amazon to see my complete order history of items not just items i have ordered from them. By providing companies a more complete view of a person should allow them to improve and personalise the experience more not less. Note VRM is not saying that companies will no longer have any information about their customers. It is just allowing customers firstly to have access to all of their own personal data so they can view and visualise it better and secondly about allowing them to decide what additional data they might choose to share with an organisation.

I am unsure if VRM will ever reach the critical mass. The concept makes perfect sense - but world peace also does... I guess the future will show if such concepts can be successful or are doomed to fail due to missing participation. Good post!

I've also been looking at <a href="http://mongodb.org/" rel="nofollow">MongoDB</a> lately, for what it's worth - another open source key-value store. Your post has made me want to revisit Project Voldemort, too. Thanks for the resource. I’ve also been looking at MongoDB lately, for what it’s worth – another open source key-value store.
