AJAX Defined
• “"Ajax," or asynchronous JavaScript and XML, refers to a browser-based repertoire of techniques for implementing Web applications in which page elements and content are retrieved asynchronously in the background, and in which the page display is updated incrementally without redisplaying the entire page.” – Gartner
• Addresses the issue of having to refresh a web page when only a small piece of content needs to change!

Mashup ideas in the Manufacturing Industry
• “Consolidate a large volume of data created by R&D scientists and a wafer fabricator to understand metrics that can improve R&D tool utilization and time-to-market.”
• “System performance monitoring and customer service support for electronic products.”
According to Forrester Research, the enterprise mashup market, which emerged just three or four years ago, will grow to nearly $700 million by 2013.

Mashup ideas in Information Technology
• “Combining Portal and Data Warehouse Reporting elements.”

• “Dynamically merge top line data from key organizational functions like billing information, new business requests information, staff timesheets, accounting bottom lines, etc, in short/small packets to make constant decisions.”
• “Allowing business people to create their own set of information and services based on well managed services to solve their individual problems.”
• “Knowledge Management and Actionable decision dashboards.”

Should Enterprises Block Access to Public Sites Like YouTube and Facebook?• Short answer: No (usually)• Don't apply technical solutions to
solve management issues• If employees waste time, deal with them• Today it is Facebook. Tomorrow?
• This is the most exciting and innovative part of the market. Why cut off access to it? • Learn from it; maybe even use it• No exposure = No experience
• Blocking causes recruitment problems• Regulated industries, and low supervision and low
bandwidth environments can be exceptions
One-quarter of enterprises block social networking URLs*
* Security/hygiene vendors
