I remember the 80's with regard to database platforms. I was convinced that relational database management systems were the future and worked hard to get it adopted where I worked and later for my customers. But, as good as it was, I would have to be patient because big iron was entrenched and decision makers had to be FORCED by competitive pressures to switch from redundant, inefficient file management systems over to a far superior relational model.
The IT pros in our corporation, whose job is was to know what the hell was happening out there regarding tools, actually became roadblocks and delayed progress substantially. It was a few years later and hundreds of thousands of dollars lost before they finally got on board with what should have been an obvious choice.
So I guess my point would be that we may have to be patient, but when the tide starts turning, watch out! We could have a pharma Oracle on our hands.
