Presentation Topics
Looking back: What can we learn?
Looking forward: What can we expect in terms of key technology trends?
What would you do differently?
If you could relive the last 10 years with 20/20 hindsight, what would you do differently in your approach to business in terms of strategy or leadership or career?
What would you do differently?
Develop more annuity-based versus project-based business
Do a better job at picking and retaining the best people
Be aware that innovation takes at least twice as long to become mainstream as seems rational
Become more globally aware and oriented
What would you do differently?
Be more selective about prospective opportunities
Balance my network with thought leaders, business builders and other-industry contacts
Focus more on the business model than refining the new idea or vision
Take risk and be more entrepreneurial sooner
What would you do differently?
I hope you can reflect on these ideas and benefit from the input of industry colleagues.
Most significant technology trends
What are the most significant technology industry trends that will occur over the next 3 to 5 years?

TREND TOPIC ONE:
Cloud Computing
Defined: The provisioning of IT services over the internet.
New Mexico Technology Council
At last, the fossil evidence to prove our theory! The dinosaurs died off – not because of a meteor or climate change
– but because their cloud computing platform collapsed!
The Cloud Players
Bare Metal People Process based hardware provisioning
HaaS – Hardware as a ServiceProgrammatic Interface for Hardware Provisioning
PaaS – Platform as a Service(Hardware Provisioning Hidden – Automatic Scaling)
SaaS – Software as a Service(Platform, Scaling and Hardware transparent)
Flexibility of Offering

Cloud Player Market Analysis
Advantages of Cloud Computing
EnterpriseAcquire services versus buy & maintain gear (turn fixed costs into variable)Reduce dependence on IT professionals to maintain legacy infrastructureEnhance strategic focus Scale capacity on demandAlways availableReduce time to market
Suppliers Enables selling of turn-key, annuity-based services
Cloud Computing Outlook
Private clouds: insourcing of IT services via intranet – used by employees, customers & suppliers
Will leverage broadband and enable SaaS, social media, web 2.0 and mobility
Frame services – used in intuitive or automatic ways (e.g. search)
Border services – or on ramp – e.g. Right Scale assists with transition to Cloud
Add one more layer above the SaaS called Network Device Services
Providers who can evolve to repeatable and reliable services will thrive
“there will be small number of big players and a large numbers of small players in the cloud computing space ”
– Dr. Eric Schmidt , CEO Google
“we had enough complexity inside Amazon that we were finding we were spending too much time on fine-grained coordination between our network engineering groups and our applications programming groups. Basically what we decided to do is build a [set of APIs] between those two layers so that you could just do coarse-grained coordination between those two groups. Amazon is, you know, just a web-scale application. “- Jeff Bezos , CEO Amazon on “how did Amazon end up creating AWS leaving the big iron vendors behind”
The world needs only five computers. - Thomas Watson , CEO IBM (1943)
- and then re-phrased by Greg Papadopoulos – CTO Sun Microsystems “there will be, more or less, five hyperscale, pan-global broadband computing services giants. There will be lots of regional players, of course; mostly, they will exist to meet national needs. That is, the network computing services business will look a lot like the energy business: a half-dozen global giants, a few dozen national and/or regional concerns, followed by wildcatters and specialists.”
Cloud Computing Outlook

TREND TOPIC TWO:
Social Media & Networking
The technology used in President Obama’s Campaign Current TV added Twitter posts into its coverage of the presidential debates as well as the Inauguration
Social Media & Networking
17
Social Media & Networking Sites
18
Facebook Connect includes protocols for sharing identity, contacts, and content
Consortium of players including Google, MySpace, Plaxo, and Yahoo! are following standards: MySpace ID
Google Friend Connect
LinkedIn Applications
Two sets of standards exist
Social media can change the way your customers think about your brand
It can change how often they think about it
You can change how loyal they are to your brand
But only if done strategically with long-term growth perspective
It’s a lot like fishing . . .
The Promise of Social Media & Networks
Experiments in social media advertising, waiting for turnaround
Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft/Hotmail will test social media integration with Webmail products
Facebook Connect gains traction with media companies and begins to monetize with an ad network
Social shopping experiments start (retailers integrating social network data)

WW Subscribers 3 billion going to 8 billion
Projecting 1,000 radio devices per subscriber
2009+ mobile device becomes active network node
Mobile content will be very important and significantly enhanced
From mega-portals (AOL) to me-portals (Facebook)
Mobility Overview

The BioEnergy Solution Tapestry
BioFuels Issues
Food versus fuelConsumption of agricultural landWater usage
BioFuels Outlook
Significant research and development on alternative energy and biofuelsJatropha and other forms of BioDiesel will make significant progress in the US market. Algae BioFuels will be commercialized resulting in refineries that can produce algae feedstocks that in turn produce Ethanol and BioDiesel in the same plant. Private enterprise will develop green energy sources.
