Heterogenity is here to stay, written more than a few times on that (http://www.martijnlinssen.com/2009/09/business-as-service-business-as-usual.html)<br /><br />Over the past 5 years I've seen exploding costs on the interfacing side: ESB and XML have reintroduced the point-to-point interface (http://www.martijnlinssen.com/2009/08/standardisation-alas-poor.html), SOAP is now introducing the point-to-point transaction (http://www.martijnlinssen.com/2009/07/soap-postman-has-already-rung-twice.html)<br /><br />At the same time where we need more and more integration, as our world is continuing to grow, and our horizon keeps extending, this will need to dramatically improveMartijn Linssenhttp://www.martijnlinssen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-303380883053059482010-01-18T00:35:52.686+01:002010-01-18T00:35:52.686+01:00Hi Martijn,

Your experience and opinion mirror mine own as of late.<br /><br />Do you have a references that this is an industry trend? Software vendors have traditionally charged a 18% maintenance fee per year. Are companies starting to increase their maintenance fees?Randy McClurehttp://www.electronic-cash-news.comnoreply@blogger.com
