<\/p>\n

One of the major denominators of web 2.0 is \u2018online collaboration\u2019. As Don Tapscott puts it in his book \u2018wikinomics\u2019: \u2018The old notion that you have to attract, develop, and retain the best and brightest inside your corporate boundaries is becoming null. With the cost of collaboration falling precipitously, companies can increasingly source ideas, innovations and uniquely qualified minds from a vast global pool of talent\u2019.<\/div>\n
While offshoring has been growing in popularity over the past 10 years, the real breakthrough is yet to come. And while Linux started about 15 years ago, the open source movement has only started to gain momentum.<\/div>\n
Offshoring<\/div>\n
Many people describe offshoring as a \u2018hype\u2019 and believe it will start declining. But considering the major benefits a company can achieve from offshore outsourcing, why would it be a hype? People are merely \u2018getting used\u2019 to working with people on the other side of the globe. Standard ways of working are being developed and choices are being made between captive offices or working with a vendor. Once it becomes \u2018normal\u2019, any job that can be done with the use of a pc screen can be done from any place in the world. With the high western wages and the problems of finding skilled people, offshoring will grow into a normal way of doing business.<\/div>\n
Companies are still used to the idea of having to keep the people inside their company. They perceive knowledge as major competitive advantage and believe this can only be sustained by keeping the people on the payroll. With more work moving offshore, this perception will change and people will start realizing that having a lean organization within a strong network will create a much stronger competitive edge then the old notion of \u2018do it yourself\u2019.<\/div>\n
Open source<\/div>\n
The same happens with open source. In the Netherlands, the government has set out a task group \u2018NOIV\u2019, to stimulate open source and open standards within the Dutch government. With the amount of open source solutions available on sourceforge and more packages that are launched every day, it seems an unstoppable development. Even ERP solutions, which have been one of the major cash cows of the software industry in the past decades, can be downloaded from the internet.<\/div>\n
There are a few developments needed in the open source world. We need more open source system integrators that specialize in the implementation of open source solutions and deliver support. We need more big organizations that lead the way and share their open source success stories. Once these two develop, open source will become a normal way of \u2018doing software\u2019.<\/div>\n
Bridge helps companies benefit from both web 2.0 developments. We have a solid experience in several open source solutions and deliver our services from our 4 offices around the world.<\/div>\n
