Implementing Enterprise 2.0 Using Open Source Products
Enterprise 2.0 is about creating a platform and having a forum which is easy and conducive for greater interaction amongst employees in an enterprise. Technologies like wiki, blog, group messaging and networking software can make a corporate intranet into collaborative platform which reflects the way work really gets done. It is about:
  •   Discoverability of information through Search
  •   Building interconnection between enterprise assets through Links
  •   Providing Authorship access to all
  •   Allowing natural on-the-fly organization of data to emerge through Tags
  •   Extensions to knowledge to emerge through usage pattern
  •   Making consumption of information easier through Signals

Open source platforms are available for each of the technology elements and they have become sufficiently robust to handle enterprise needs. However, to meet the needs of the enterprise, they need to be integrated. Also the enterprise security and access control requirements have to be incorporated. NIIT Technologies has implemented Enterprise 2.0 technologies by customizing and integrating open source tool like MediaWiki (the engine with runs Wikipedia), WordPress and others. At the second edition of India's biggest and single-most inspirational summit for business technologies, Udayan Banerjee, CTO of NIIT Technologies will talk about
  • How they went about the whole process,
  • The steps involved,
  • Benefits they accrued and
  • The learning

Udayan Banerjee is responsible for exploring emerging technologies, assessing the impact and giving shape to the technology roadmap for the organisation. He is an engineering graduate from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur and has been working in Indian IT industry for over 30 years in different capacities. During this period, he has been associated with many global enterprises.

Business Technology Summit is scheduled to be held Nov 03-04 2009 in Bangalore, India, and Nov 06 2009 in Mumbai, India. Registrations are open from http://www.btsummit.com/.

Business Transformation vs. SOA Transformation - Can I do Both? Corporations are transforming their business models in an attempt to increase revenue, operational efficiency and global competition by designing innovative business models and processes to be disruptive in their market space. In this keynote, recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, the Vice President of IBM's Global Solutions and Assets division says business leaders are looking for IT to provide and support the disruptive business models. However, the majority of IT's budget and resources are spent in maintenance leaving little time and resources for IT to be innovative and meet the business demands. In addition, many IT Corporations have adopted SOA in adhoc fashion and achieved some maturity in the technology. The key to aligning the IT objectives with the business objectives is a structured approach. Come hear about new ways to develop the required capabilities and prioritize the initiatives to create a Business and SOA transformation roadmap.
State of the Union - SOA Standards The author of the seminal book "Great Global Grid: Emerging Technology Strategies" discusses the current status of SOA-related standards and their applicability in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008. This has been an active area over the last few years with multiple standards being developed and supported by different organizations. However there are still concerns about the complexity and maturity of SOA standards. The content will be based on Bob's recommendations for government agencies in the US and Asia. It will also include information from an "Emerging Standards for SOA" Session that Bob organized bringing together leading standards groups.
Virtualization 360 Increase your virtualization IQ: learn about Microsoft's virtualization roadmap, understand the technologies and get ready for the Virtualization from Ravi Sankar.

Software + Services: Fundamental Shifts in Platform Computing We are at the cusp of a big industry change. The way software is delivered and monetized is undergoing a fundamental shift. The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.
Designing Reusable Service Interfaces One of the challenges of SOA is the development of services, which are reusable. Such services can participate in several different processes and orchestrations. Experienced architects are aware that designing and implementing reusable services is much harder task than implementing services for single use. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Matjaz B. Juric discusses best practices for designing reusable service interfaces. We will discuss the possibilities provided by WSDL. We will address the versioning issue, which becomes crucial when changing/modifying services in order to make them more reusable.
