Inertia is the biggest enemy of innovation. People want to work with familiar tools and upgrading to a newer tool is always a big challenge if re-training is required.

Successfully implemented software is not only about writing code, but comes from a development process that ensures productivity and quality. The cornerstone of such a process is continuous integration, where code and other work realised by the development team are automatically pooled and verified as a whole.

Every organisation that develops software wants to minimise the work needed to build new IT systems. But no matter how effective a development process may be, a real reduction in the work will only be achieved if one stops reinventing the wheel and starts reusing software.

Using any phone, we can call any other phone – regardless the company that produced the phone, regardless calling a landline from a mobile. Or vice versa. This is interoperability.
