....................................................
I know there will be sceptical views on this stuff (including myself to a degree). But what I find interesting is that depending on how you frame the question, some 'unexpected' companies come to the fore.
Amazon?
I figure many of the tech-savvy, industry aware posters here, always figured they might be in the running. It never occured to me.
Also, given that the 'answers' I am getting might be a flight of fantasy re savings and revenue generation..........it's still interesting.
In terms of marketing / flogging 4DS, I would like to know how the BOD are framing it.
The bottom line though is that if you accept that the benefits are anywhere close to the 'order' outlined above, there are a relatively small number of 'proper' suitors who have bigenough pockets.
Could the company not by-pass the industry 'gatherings' and go direct to these companies?
Probably (definitely?) over-simplifying this, but it does not seem that complicated. Ha! Inorance is bliss.
I am definitely bugging out now. Over my head.
Cheers
