Message-ID: <9101230627.AA24372@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 23 Jan 91 04:55:11 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 24 I am looking for information regarding the OSI market, in terms of predictions about the future, and how long it will take to become widespread. I am preparing an executive level presentation regarding OSI in the computer industry for the upper echelons of my company. I have obtained *some* information from industry papers, as well as the Gartner Group, however, I was wondering if any firms or universities have done additional research into the direction of OSI. I am especially interested in cost analysis and advantages/disadvantages of implementing OSI products, if such information exists. I will be willing to sign non-disclosure agreements with any companies that would be willing to provide me with information. All information will be kept internal to my corporation, and will be acknowledged appropriately. Thank you.
