There is in my head a vague concept of a minimal corporate API. Where there is a (global?) standard of data access - like For emp in biz.hr.employees.current: print emp.401K.contribution I mean something like this exists for SAP (probably), but I imagine there is some FOSS version waiting out there that is the POSIX of organisational APIs How it’s implemented is almost irrelevant. But it’s existence means management become software literate, means that companies won’t waste half their software devs doing things like reinventing ETL tools It just seems a good idea
