writely and may other friends

Google has just reopened the website of writely. It complements Google spreadsheet already in beta test.

We may legitimately wonder about a soon Web 2.0. presentation tool availability. If any, I am sure that Google will be keen to break its wallet. 

Anyway, what will be the Net surfers feelings regarding privacy if their personal data (mail, budget,…) are kept by a third party ? I won’t argue further on this, since we may pass lunchtime.

But, within a company, this drawback disappearing, more appealling pros remain.

First, architecture is a matter of views

When you consider the project to organize a simple room, often a single point of view is enough to decide which organization to settle and how to organize. Then, anybody is able to tackle the problem.

When you consider the project to design a full flat, you need to collect and concile the points of views of all people at stake : you, next occupant if you sell it, others sharing the same building,  housekeeper, people in charge of maintenance, and so on…

It won’t be only a matter of connecting all requirements, which is not often simple, you ‘ll also need to prove that your design give a response to each of them.

This is the Enterprise Architecture deal.
