  1. Managing Technology 2.0 Strategies for integration in the new, decentralized world Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  2. 1.0 • Computing paradigm: application-centric • In-house servers • Proprietary database formats Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  3. Today • Migrating to data-centric computing • Online or offline storage • Some format standards in place (SQL, XML) Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  4. 2.0 • Data-centric • Standards-based • APIs everywhere Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  5. Acronym Soup • API - Application Programming Interface • SQL - Structured Query Language • XML - eXtensible Markup Language • ASP - Application Service Provider • SaaS - Software as a Service • ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning • BPM - Business Process Management Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S.

  6. Evaluating online apps Does it have a standards-based, well-documented API? Is there an active application development community using the API? Is the data dictionary available for review prior to purchase? Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  7. App evaluation, Cont’d Reporting screen: can you report on at least three tables in one report? Can you modify a standard report and save it as a new report? Can you export to XML and other formats? Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  8. Why we have to take our time Adopting and subscribing to standards is critical System choices are interdependent Database development takes time and planning Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  9. Why we have to act now The internet is constantly evolving - you have to move fast to capitalize on the trends Critical tools are just being written We don’t want to invest in archaic technologies Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  10. Build or buy • Buy if you can! • Base decision on unique business processes and objectives • Develop platforms, don’t build from scratch • Build standards-based and extensible apps Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  11. S.U.C.C.E.S.S. • Standardize - your technology implementations and acquisitions must meet an overall data management plan • Strategize - the data plan must directly address long-term business objectives • Understand - the status of data management is rapidly developing. Stay aware of it! Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  12. S.U.C.C.E.S.S. (Cont’d) • Communicate - with your teams as to why you’ve making decisions to address long-term needs vs short-term desires • Collaborate - with others! Standards are adopted in response to mass appeal, not individual requests • Evangelize - get the world on board. Pick the app that you have the least options for and get some OSS types to develop it Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S. Campbell http://techcafeteria.com

  13. S.U.C.C.E.S.S. (Cont’d) • Settle - for less in anticipation of more. Short term pain for long term gain • Surpass - the limitations of the current silo-ed model. Technology 2.0 will free us up from maintaining the plumbing and enable us to oversee and capitalize on our information. It’s a solid investment Managing Technology 2.0  April 5, 2007  Peter S.
