Concentrate on Information Sharing.

Back in 2000 discussion was about information sharing and Standards.

Adoption is driving the change in focus.

No we can move to putting information at people’s fingertips

Move the needle through:

2. Business Use Case – Change it
3. Technology –

Am I the right person
Where is the data
What is the language/ontology
