OK, we were a bit unorthodox in our approach at SIFMA. When you’re dealing with 7,000 attendees and 300 vendors, you have to be. Perhaps our booth felt like the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco in 1967, but we have a big issue with “the establishment” – the messaging establishment. What we’re calling into question is the architecture of legacy messaging systems, message-oriented middleware, etc. Are we stuck with messaging frameworks that are about as contemporary as the tie-dye VW bus? In doubt? Ask a messaging architect about the last outage with a software-based messaging solution. The new revolution is about hardware, architecture and rethinking messaging. It’s time for the message network.
