Modernization “from the Ground-up” – the Information Layer
 The Information Layer (aka databases) is the foundation of IT systems
 Keys for database are support of Open standards and interoperability
between other systems and technologies
 Database should NOT limit the tools the business can use
 Every Open tool supports SQL…….NONE support Enscribe
 And they never will or they would become proprietary!
