Standards and Interoperability

Standards are a good thing, but not all standards are good. To achieve interoperability, the communicating systems either needs to agree on a common format for data exchange, or a gateway needs to be deployed to convert from one formation to another. So, at a base level, standards are good – they enable you to agree a common format for data exchange.

Zero trust is not a magic black box product either. Those that know me are aware that I’m very much a “let’s go back to first principles” kind of person, and often that has saved me from going down rabbit holes, or has found overlooked flaws in previous enterprise architectures and highlighted a clearer path to success.

Interoperability – Are we there yet?

Throughout my time at Nexor, a common thread of all the products and projects I have worked on has been interoperability – how do you get System A to exchange information with System B?  You would have thought after 30+ years the problem would be solved, but it keeps making an appearance.
