Q:

What will a company that is well positioned to compete

in an era of networked systems look like?

Discontinuity

• Ubiquitous networks, SOA, Web 2.0, and Open Technology are weaving platforms together into ecosystems of capability.

• It’s no longer enough to just know what your program is doing. It has to connect.

Thesis:

In the Shift from Systems to

Ecosystems

Companies that

Collaborate will do better

Or, to put it another way...

Did that sound like a happy customer?

This presentation is supposed to be about

SOAWeb 2.0

Open Technology...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): Is an architectural approach in which

systems expose capability via well defined service interfaces (often as Web

Services) whose goals are cross platform / cross language

interoperability and loose coupling between participating systems.

The SOA-Connected Enterprise

Web 2.0 (or just “the web”) is the business revolution in the computer industry

caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand

the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build

applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them.”

Web 2.0 Patterns• Harness collective intelligence: architecture

of participation

• Data as platform

• Rich user experience

• Software not tied to a single device

• Perpetual beta

• Leverage the long tail

What it might look like

Open Technology Development combines advances in the following areas:

1. Open Standards and Interfaces2. Open Source Software and Designs

3. Collaborative / Distributive culture and online tools

4. Technological Agility

ProprietaryLock In

Bringing it back...

• They don’t hesitate to use standard SOA interfaces on their projects despite anti-lock-in impact.

• They regularly use open source in projects for their customers.

• They already have programmers that contribute regularly to open source projects

• They use collaborative tools within the enterprise and external to it: Wikis, shared code repositories, chat and irc, mailing lists,...

• They are comfortable with agile methods.

• They recognize the value of data

• They add well understood web-oriented public API’s to their projects.

New competencies, signals...

Thanks!
