The Open Enterprise: Openness within the organization

By Steve Hartman

Openness is about living in a world where no one company owns all the data flows and applications within a business.

Allan Behrens, Managing Director at Taxal

Large enterprises can have thousands of contracts out to suppliers and there can be countless requirements from customers, all of which means a lot of variability across the product lifecycle chain. This requires a data distribution integration strategy that’s open to connect all the pieces to ensure business objectives are met.

In this four-part series, Allan Behrens, Managing Director at Taxal, speaks with some industry leaders to define openness, how it impacts collaboration and how today’s open enterprises are setting up for success in the digital future.
