Angel Diaz<\/a>, VP Software standards at IBM, said when asked about the importance of Open Standards<\/a> for collaboration: \u00a0“Look at history. \u00a0Productivity cyles have occurred as a result of technology breakthroughs which were paired with good business insightbut also open standards. \u00a0Think of the mainframe. \u00a0Think of distributed sytems. \u00a0Think of the web and eBusiness. \u00a0Behind each of those innovations has been the thread of standards. \u00a0Standards increase the market. \u00a0They accelerate the ability for people to participate and accelerate the access. \u00a0Now, with social business, you’re looking at the confluence of social networking, analytics, cloud and mobile. \u00a0All of these things coming together, allowing people to rethink and reinvent how they do business.Standards is going to make it go even faster.”<\/p>\n
