There is a rocketing trend in the IS world today towards 'standardization'. First off, let's look at what is meant by that term.
Standardization is defined as conforming to a standard.
There are VERY important reasons as to why this is bad, and this article will look at them. The first problem with this is that it reverses the proper order of how to solve a problem. But this enforced standardization anagrams this procedure. Buy the toolset according to arbitrary 'standards', ID the problem, determine the possible solutions, determine which solutions your toolset will allow you to implement, implement the solution. The fact is, you need more than just a hammer to build a house.
