But Why Would You do that?

42. What if not? Here I think is really what we expect from the talk.
you can take the analogy with a company in the carpark business in mahnatan.
They dont care about parking systems, they just care about how they are efficient
at doing it. In manhattan every block as a different size, different characteristic
and these guys certainly use a “car park system” platform and not a “boxed out of
the box carpark” they do this because it has an immediate value > being more
efficient in what they really do. Then use whatever metric (ROI, TCO ...) that is not
what matter. What matter is Business Efficiency
This is ovr simplified but in essence its the same about building Content-centric
applications
