Localisation Standards – A Competitive Advantage ? Damian Scattergood

STAR Technology Solutions “Only adopt a Standard to gain competitive advantage for your business” Damian Scattergood 2003

STAR Technology Solutions Standards Today Producers: Implemented ad hoc: Html 4.x, 5.x, XLIFF 1.0, 1.x. TMX. Large Tool Vendors: Say they do, but implement partially what they want. Smaller Vendors: Implement partially to gain business from others. So everyone is as good/bad. No sustainable advantage.

STAR Technology Solutions If standards were cars Great ROI Great acceleration 0-60 rates, will get you there faster. Fuel Consumption is great, much cheaper. Focused on specific functional ‘Value’. So the industry fails to gain any real benefits. We all focus on short term value.

STAR Technology Solutions Competitive Advantage Michael Porter on Competitive Advantage The fundamental basis of above average profitability in the long run is sustainable competitive advantage. Two basic types a firm can possess: Low cost. Differentiation. Three Generic Strategies to achieve competitive advantage.
