Are we “Open” for Business?
Our September theme; " Are we “
Open ”
for Business?" refers to how important being open has become to our
industry and how it has helped us grow and become part of something
much larger.
What are open systems?
The Free Dictionary provides this definition; 1. A system in which the
components and protocols conform to standards independent of a
particular supplier.
My rant last month " A call to the industry" to speed their evolution to open protocols for control languages created a lot of interest, was the most read article, and generated some great responses in this issue.
I provide a quick summary in this review Open Control Language Discussions of the over 40 comments received on Linkedin Groups plus emails accross my desk.
These five articles provide great insight and are in response to my request for input.
