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

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.

Best Practices for Enterprise SOA Deployment Bob Marcus, the leader for SOA and Distributed Virtualization standards at the Network Centric Operation Industry Consortium (NCOIC.org), discusses requirements and best practices for enterprise SOA Deployment, in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008. The session is based on Bob's experience working with large enterprises such as General Motors and Boeing.

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.

Doing More With Less In the Downturn - Interview with Embarcadero's Philip Rathle Having affordable access to the right tools at the right time has never been more important, especially with today’s intense scrutiny on budgets and expectations to do more with less.

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.

Brian Behlendorf on Open Source, Subversion 1.5, the rise of Globalization and Carbon Offsets Brian Behlendorf, Founder and former CTO of Collabnet, in a free-wheeling interview talks about the concept of an open source company in today's world, the indirect economic value being created by open source projects, the commercial drivers behind open source projects, the intense sharing culture promoted by social networking and collaboration tools, and his green responsibilities and how he carbon offsets his travel. Brian also discusses how application development needs to change to meet the needs of an increasingly globalized world, benefits of a virtualized infrastructure management system, factors that will hinder adoption of Subversion 1.5 and how Subversion stacks up against the competition.

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.
