Geoffrey,
I appreciate the "UKpragmatic" approach in selecting a software that is stable and easy to work around with. But taking new initiatives and developing a better and cost effective solution for global businesses is not a country issue. While all the development in the data exchange industry is based on presumption that the new products are required to work in tandem with the existing systems. Its common knowledge that multiple standards have created layers of complications for a common integration approach, but only taking initiatives and finding new approaches have bought us so far. Finally .." One who take the initiative...leads the way."
Regards,
Ranjit Banthia.
