The CIO visionary

after reading his interview i feel J.P. Rangaswamy - the CIO of DrKW must be one the very few people at such position who actually understand the disruptive force of open source and actually adopts it to his organizations advantage. The interview is littered with quotable gems:

"Now no-one gets fired for using Linux or for having Apache or using Tomcat. But this has happened over a relatively short space of time and we have been aggressive in recognising that trend and becoming contributors to the open source movement rather than consumers"

"Much of what I see sent offshore is commoditised stuff where the value should have been in coming together as an industry and saying we'll build utilities that all banks and financial houses can use. The concept of some of our commodity activities being considered differentiating just is not sustainable any more"

"The open source movement is where we're heading."

Definitely worth a read.
