If you know him you&#39;ll want to hear this.  If you don&#39;t, check it out for sure &#8211; Ray is so clear, perceptive and thoughtful.  He is his <strong>own analyst<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He says Notes was built on the concept that the nature of the organization was changing.  Previously it had been vertically oriented.  When Notes came out, organizations were becoming more <em>internally meshed<\/em>.  People within organizations were suddenly collaborating with each other.  Today &#8211; in the era of Groove &#8211; businesses are becoming <em>externally meshed<\/em>.  Individuals are dealing with people from lots of organizations &#8211; not to mention friends and family.  Software moving forward has to be based on this evolving mesh.  <\/p>\n<p>Corollaries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The key here is that going forward, IT departments will not be able to simply <strong>dictate<\/strong> the software which individuals use &#8211; because the software must span companies, each of which will have different IT departments.\n<li>Building things based on ubiquitous standards (COM, J2EE) doesn&#39;t take into account the amazing speed at which things slip into history &#8211; we always need to look forward 5 years.\n<li>When looking forward, watch the underlying phenomena &#8211; the explosion of wireless options;  being able to assume that everyone has a PC and access to the net; and terrabyte desktop storage &#8211; which has arrived before we even have any idea of what it can be used for&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He also comments sagely on the complexity of current identity-based systems, and wonders what he missed by underestimating the power of anonymous technology.  I couldn&#39;t agree more &#8211; that complexity must go or we all fail.<\/p>\n<p>For those who missed it,  the Gang has also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itconversations.com\/shows\/detail357.html\">interviewed Phil Windley<\/a> &#8211; who does a great survey of identity management issues.  I&#39;m not sure I agree with him on the relation between Metadirectory and other technologies, but I&#39;ll try to find out more about his thinking and then drill into this.  <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#39;ve been meaning to point people to a couple of other Gillmor Gang interviews.
