2 Technology Maturity Proprietary vs. Standards-Based over Time Innovation Proprietary technology prevalent in emerging markets. Innovation decreases as markets mature. In mature markets standards-based technology allows faster innovation. Additional benefits of standards-based technology accrue over time Time Proprietary Standards 3of 21 Proprietary vs. Open Standards Benefits of Open Standards: Competition drives innovation Competition lowers pricing Open standards provide flexibility Vendor choice Respond to business & technology change Easier to acquire and retain talent Open standards when technical domain is mature. 4of 21 2
