We started the “Death of the Database” series by talking about how the Automobile killed the Horse.
But as we discussed, the automobile didn’t actually kill the horse – it just made the horse moot. The car was a creation so far superior that the horse was no longer a desirable option for most people. The car was faster, more powerful, more comfortable, and easier to maintain than the horse.

Here, we plan to develop, discuss, debate, and demonstrate game changing ideas using software technology that will help core lines of business in industry in making better, faster decisions in a secure and compliant manner.
I find the whole staid old approach to IT tiresome, expensive and completely ineffective. Sure, there are vested interests and The Empire, of course, that is waiting to pounce on every new game changing idea that will simplify how business is run. Continue Reading Game Changing Ideas…
