"In closing, I want to leave one thought
with you. I really enjoyed Ron's [Moore] presentation, and he brought up
some very good discussions about when you have a monopoly system, why do
you need a standard?
.
Well if you look at the human endeavors and throughout
the history, in everything that has happened in the last several hundred
years -- you can start with the Press capabilities, up to Pony Express,
Telegraph, Telephone, Highway System, the Internet now, and everything
else in between -- in my experience, and as history is the judge, in every
opportunity, in every case, where humans have been involved, and two elements
have been in existance -- one the need for sharing, and the second is alignment
in business -- always, always, standards emerge.
.
Whether SEDRIS ends up being that particular
standing in the community, history will judge that. But I believe we have
outstanding technologies that will provide a variety of different benefits
for many people in different sectors of Industry, Academia, and Government.
And our goal certainly is to promote those things through providing good
tools, good technologies, and education throughout the community so others
can take advantage of that."
