Vendor Neutral File Formats?

Posted by Cliff on from the no-more-lock-in dept.

timmyv asks: "I have recently been tasked with developing a corporate wide policy that will standardize all employee created documents on vendor neutral file formats. OASIS is good in theory, but I haven't been able to locate enough concrete examples of policies or implementation schemes that work at a corporate level. Does anyone work at a company where documents can only be saved as RTF, HTML, etc. or have any experience with this type of problem?"

    Any postmodernist worth his or her salt would tell you there's no such thing as a vendor-neutral file format.
