Smart Services, Bright Future - The Road Forward for India

According to popular theory, the natural evolution of industries and economies includes periods of tumultuous "creative disruption." However, even the most visionary academics and management gurus did not anticipate the back-to-back global meltdowns of the dotcom and financial sectors.

As India and the rest of the world emerges from the "double bubble," the road forward is becoming more clear. "In my next life, I want to come back as Dirk Pitt, the hero of the Clive Cussler books. He saves the world regularly," Cisco Senior Vice President Howard Charney had said way back in 1995. At the second edition of India's biggest and single-most inspirational summit for business technologies, Charney will discuss the recovery, the urgent challenges - such as productivity, sustainability, security, and the environment - and the potential of rapidly converging services capabilities to transform business, government, and society,

Charney's speech will touch upon the relevant aspects of history and how the industrial revolution provided the "big bang" the world needed to increase productivity - now years later, there are inventions the world never thought would come to fruition. The power of technology, this is just the beginning, according to Howard Charney. Charney says this phase of technology has just began and will power our lives - business, home and play for 20-30 years to come.

Howard Charney is a member of Cisco's Office of the President and Executive Staff and reports directly to CEO John Chambers. He contributes to Cisco's strategy and direction and advises customers on implementing critical Internet technologies to improve productivity and competitiveness. During more than 30 years in Silicon Valley, Charney has overseen the development and proliferation of key technologies that led directly to the global build-out of the Internet. After joining Cisco with the acquisition of Grand Junction Networks, he helped grow Cisco's new two-tier distribution business to more than US$2.4 billion and, with Cisco's brand and market momentum, helped turn Fast Ethernet and low-cost switching into fundamental, global Internet technologies.

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.

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.

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.
