PAIL
I am constantly looking to work with others. Together we can do more than we can do separately. From a product perspective we often think "Build, buy, or license"
For long-term success it is more important to look beyond the products and work with the best people -- who will make better products and continue to to make better products -- the ELEMENTARY components of providing the MOST USEFUL products and achieving INTEROPERABILITY.
Different routes of finding the best team have led to approaches of Partnership, Acquisition, Innovation, and License so of course I had to find an acronym for that. PAIL represents many practical ways (in business terms) to work with others and "fill their PAIL"
And you don't want to go "beyond the PAIL" which apparently is a homonymal mispresentation of "beyond the Pale" which describes indecency going beyond the boundaries (originally the Pale was an English territory in Ireland)
Of course we want to continue to grow and improve all our current partnerships and team developments. The quest for growth does not mean "out with the old" if we can grow together.
