Internettet har været en svær en at sluge for dem som har handlet efter de traditionelle forretningsmodeller. Se musik industrien, film branchen, etc. Også software branchen har haft det svært efterhånden som de har set deres kernekompetencer udbudt til alle via web interfaces ... Men heller ikke på desktop siden har man formået at tilfredsstille deres ellers trofaste kunder ... James nævner specialværktøjerne som bruges en sjælden gang og som rent licensmæssigt kan få budgettet til at tumble. Der er selvfølgelig en god ide i at bundle værktøjerne, men man savner en finere granulering hvor man betaler efter hvad man bruger (og evt. efter hvor tit). Det ville tage presset fra licensbudgettet og istedet lægge det på det rent behovsmæssige ...

The Internet has been a hard market to swallow for the tradionel businesses ... Just see how the music industri and the movie industri have tumbled around like drunk elephants. And the softwar companies have not been any better. They have seen their business sucked up by the Net but not seen the right way to control it (other than heavy licensing). And the desktop policies aint any better. James mentions how the need for one specialist tool may suck out the last penny from the software budgets. It's convinient to bundle functionality but a finer granularity would be appreciated. Why not be charged for what you actually use? And possibly also by the number of times you use it? Take the burden from the lincenses and put it on the daily basis usage ...

OK, love or hate the term GeoWeb, it does reflect the reality of our workflows today. We are taking our applications off of the desktop and running them on the web, we are combining data silos right inside the browser and we are giving tools to that used to be reserved for technicians on UNIX workstations to users via their mouse. It is truly a new way of working, but I see it running directly in a wall.
