Standards: Infinite ROI

New legislation which reuses procedures from a previous Act will deliver the USA's international treaty obligations on child support recovery. I mention this because the legislation is said to reuse “no-cost data standardization provisions” from three other social programs.

As well as making sure attempts to recover support payments don't stop at national borders, the move will save up to $500,000 over 10 years by improving efficiency. Cost zero, return one half million. That's an infinite Return on Investment. Crazy not to. Dave Camp

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.
