AUGIE Ends Long Time Rivalry

Now that they have accomplished this primary goal, the ACORD User Group Information Exchange (AUGIE) can now focus on supporting the implementation of ACORD Standards said Jim Armitage, Chairman. Pictured are Steve Aronson (Boston) donning the Yankee cap and Keith Savino (New York) who was unable to attend the parade today to celebrate the victory.

I was there. This was NOT done with Photoshop.

It was a painful moment. But, a deal is a deal. And, Savino wore the Red Sox cap back in '07 and '04 ... and in 2010?

Such a great moment in the AUGIE Leaders' history. If this can happen....we can make anything happen.

New Book

My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".

Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.

I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
