The Cloud, billing by consumption, and the future of business intelligence, continuity and competition

The best way to learn something very well may be to be responsible for teaching it. With that in mind this post has a few questions; your digging and answers may help others to learn.

Drawing upon this article (and 12 points stated within), is or isn’t cloud computing coming to your enterprise, and what database do you think may be largely associated with the Cloud and the future of innovative business intelligence? 

Whatever your answers may be to the above questions, the words below may be worth thinking about and internalizing.

Businesses are undergoing a fundamental shift in the way they make decisions. In today’s rapidly changing environment, decision-making occurs more frequently and at all levels of an organization. Having access to your company’s crucial information and using that business intelligence to achieve strategic enterprise-wide objectives differentiates highly successful businesses from potential competitors. (data sheet here) 

Will the Cloud help to evolve the intrinsic and pervasive value of your organization by 2020? How might moving up into the Cloud change things relative to Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery?

With respect to the latter question you may find these words interesting:

“The Meta Group reports that the downtime cost for each company in the Energy Industry is $2.8 million/hour; in the Telecom Industry $2.0 million/hour; and for Financial Institutions, $1.4 million/hour.” Who said it?

People, Tools, Code… computing closer to the masses

This book states “Computing is slowly coming closer and closer to the masses”. With current PeopleTools has the pace picked up, or has IT been enabled to empower the Business more, or has IT been enabled to provide stronger governance, or has IT been enabled to eliminate (or improve integration with) the tools of other vendors such as perhaps HP or IBM/Rational?

In the future will enterprise solutions for Business, and enterprise solutions for IT, increasingly align and more so move towards being (or acting more as) one? By 2020 will organizations everywhere enjoy TCO that is significantly lower, value that is significantly higher, and computing which is significantly closer to (and easier and safer for) the masses?

Q: Who plans to accelerate innovation, and offer a superior solution at a lower price?

A: Oracle and PeopleSoft say they do.

BTW recently the PeopleSoft Technology Blog shared awareness of a new site that is devoted to the Middleware Developer and perhaps a place to help you start creating SOA with your PeopleSoft applications. The site includes a link to this page of Oracle Blogs (semantic web view here, not all blogs included). Ideally the blogs further beam value inherently (intrinsically and pervasively) into your step. In any event, if your neighbors are partying and you can’t sleep perhaps you’ll find yourself doing some related reading… for example, William Vambenepe (IT management in a changing IT world) recently wrote about various IT management stories and provided a link to RedMonk’s People Over Process blog which included a link to Eric Schmidt IBM and Clouds | IT Management and Cloud Blog.

As the cloud and related applications continue to evolve and transform the value of the user experience, what database do you think will be largely inherent?

This security solutions whitepaper was posted March 2008 and originally published in October 2006. If you are aware of intrinsic and pervasive solution improvements since the whitepaper was published, feel free to comment or write a related post. Thank you for doing so.

Explore the mystery, discover the opportunities

Inherent Quality, Software Quality, Fun, Oracle

Working increasingly as one in spirit the world will continually evolve quality, value, excellence and simplicity upwards and inwards. Nurture a sense of connectedness to everyone and everything (e.g.) and proactively explore the mystery to discover the opportunities inherent in the programming. Enable innate assurances while thinking and exercising prevention in attempts to eliminate potential systemic anomalies that have the potential to cause fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations. You are the architect and the chosen one and the oracle combined. You giving positive energy and helping others is what matters. Even in fun entertainment you may discover a few words which are somewhat intriguing or potentially even profound.

The following clip could do without the finger pointing and due to language and excessive violence may not be for everyone. Viewer discretion is advised.
