Why does/should openness matter to customers? Portability? Interoperability?
Interoperability is important because the core of the value proposition is to take parts of existing systems and compose them into higher level business flows. Portability is important because business processes are key IP assets of an enterprises and customer do not want to be locked into a specific solution.Openness is important because large enterprises have WebLogic, WebSphere, and Oracle Application Server and we offer them a solution that works equally well no matter what there existing app server investment is.
