The Business Case for CAP Pete O’Dell Founder/Director Swan Island Networks Pete.odell@swanisland.net 202-460-9207
Speaker Introduction • Founder Swan Island Networks – early CAP adopter (www.swanisland.net) • TIES and Cybero – SAAS offerings – CAP in the Cloud • Technical and business background • Government and commercial, large and small companies • Book(s): Silver Bullets: How interoperable data will revolutionize information sharing and transparency. Future of interoperability in development - contributors wanted for next version (Sept 2013) • www.advantagefactory.com, www.maplarge.com, www.detectachem.com, www.mystateusa.com
“Today, [we] are functionally linked together in a vast organic system…The earth [is] not only becoming covered by myriads of grains of thought, but becoming enclosed in a single thinking envelope.”--Teilhard de Chardin, 1925
Discussion • Case for standards in a changing world • Business reasons for deploying/promoting CAP • Cost of an avoidable incident • Money • Lives • Time • Reputation and liability • Detail multiple areas: • Cost to deployment • Speed to deployment • Future Development • Other business case elements
Future Directions – changes underway • Ubiquitous connections • Multiple devices • Sensors/Internet of things • Complex risks • Real time reactions • Shrinking world • Cloud computing • Cyber-threats • People can’t scale (right now) • Budgets under pressure • Government struggling • Legacy overhang • IT walls being scaled – Bring your own device • Big data – trillions/txns
Energy Food/water Health/disease Global warming Pollution Languages Trade blocks Intellectual property Terrorism/security Education Population growth Aging populations Religion Political Standards Paradoxes abound Intertwined worldwide issues
Into the future: • Internet of Things – automatic triggers • Long life batteries, low power networks • More data – billions of transactions • More sharing – necessity despite policy problems • Cross organizational sharing • Gov to Gov • Consortiums of private enterprises • Public/Private partnerships
Standards have made civilization possible • Weights and measures • Railroads – track and time zones • Interchangeable parts • Shipping containers • Uniform Commercial Codes • Internet – TCP/IP • HTML and XML – today’s WWW • All in all – a well traveled road
Organizational Elements to consider • Return on Investment: Time and dollars • Risk Reduction: • Capital investment: • Operations and maintenance: • Doing more with less • Time to market/deployment: • Business Continuity: • Total Cost of Ownership:
Going it alone - the high cost of custom solutions • Money and time to create new approach • Willing to maintain and continue to develop • Willing to re-invent many elements • Limited interoperability • High risk of failure • Bottom line: Custom furniture is great if you can afford it, but this is a very painful way to create technology solutions in the 21st Century!
CAP – key value points Interoperable International Fast time to deploy Compatible CAP Flexible Critical Mass Future Dev Path Embedded in COTS
Much more than meteorological..360 Degree Risk Picture • GPS tracked people • GPS tracked equipment • Social media monitoring • RSS to CAP • Bio sensors • Environment sensors • Explosive test results • Video surveillance alerts
CAP universe of support • Governments • Non Government organizations • Standards bodies • Private services companies • Software developers/COTS • Equipment manufacturers • Forward momentum worldwide
Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) • Solutions: • TIES and Cybero – situational awareness/cyber • Vigilance (Pinkerton) – commercial security/intel • MystateUSA – mass alerting • Fusion Core – intelligence information fusion • Previstar – incident management • Premium Feeds: • Global Incident Map • NC4
Recap – some key points • CAP is a well developed standard • The world is adopting CAP for many uses • There are people working (free to you) to make CAP better as time passes • There are commercial products you can utilize to speed delivery of capabilities • Overall cost of a standard solution is much lower and more reliable than a custom effort
