During the last 5 years, I’ve been surprised to see that large corporations and agencies are using embedXcode, and thus solutions based on the Wiring, Arduino and Energia frameworks. I just wondered: What is the rationale behind? I’ve searched for answers and found two: disruptive technology and frugal innovation. |
Disruptive Technology |
Disruptive technology is less about content than about usage and accessibility.
| Contrary to Schumpeter's creative destruction, Christensen's disruptive technology is not exclusive and opens new markets |
Frugal Innovation
Frugal innovation, or « doing more with less », is a normal way for emerging countries and a necessity for developed countries.
| The title says it all |
ConclusionI'm glad embedXcode actively contributes to those trends. The questions are now: Are hardware and software suppliers aware of those trends? Are they ready to complement their traditional offerings with lighter solutions? |
