Questa sessione vuole affrontare il tema della tecnologia e come questa possa essere una leva fondamentale per le nuove Startup. Nella prima parte saranno discussi i maggiori trend di mercato: le tecnologie più in voga e ricercate, quelle già mature e consolidate e quelle che sono in fase calante ma che avranno un alto impatto in futuro. Nella seconda parte mostrerò alcuni tool e tecniche che possono migliorare la gestione del lavoro di una start-up introducendo meccanismi di sviluppo agili.

5. IT Doesn’t Matter - Nicholas Carr (2000)
l’IT (Information Technology) è una commodity e come tale non costituisce
un elemento differenziante o una leva strategica di sviluppo.
Ciò che conta sarebbero, per esempio, i modelli di business e organizzativi,
il marketing, le strategie distributive.

7. Emerging technologies & trends

8. Hype Curve
Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic
representation of the maturity and adoption
of technologies and applications, and how
they are potentially relevant to solving real
business problems and exploiting new
opportunities.

ologies/hype-cycles.jsp

9. Hype Curve
Technology Trigger: A potential technology
breakthrough kicks things off. Early proof-of-
concept stories and media interest trigger
significant publicity. Often no usable products
exist and commercial viability is unproven.

10. Hype Curve
Peak of Inflated Expectations: Early
publicity produces a number of success
stories — often accompanied by scores of
failures. Some companies take action; many
do not.

11. Hype Curve
Trough of Disillusionment: Interest wanes
as experiments and implementations fail to
deliver. Producers of the technology shake
out or fail. Investments continue only if the
surviving providers improve their products to
the satisfaction of early adopters.

12. Hype Curve
Slope of Enlightenment: More instances of
how the technology can benefit the
enterprise start to crystallize and become
more widely understood. Second- and third-
generation products appear from technology
providers. More enterprises fund pilots;
conservative companies remain cautious.

13. Hype Curve
Plateau of Productivity: Mainstream
adoption starts to take off. Criteria for
assessing provider viability are more clearly
defined. The technology's broad market
applicability and relevance are clearly paying
off.

14. Hype Curve
Trash Heap of Failures: is the final
resting place for ideas that have been
killed, forgotten, or shamefully hidden
away
Swamp of Continued Use: is an
ongoing, zombie-like state for projects
and approaches that everyone knows
should probably be killed, but which
continue to limp along anyway. There
are countless market failures in the
development and aid sector, allowing
failed ideas to limp along for years.
Roundabout of Repackaging:
rescues faltering ideas and sends them
back up to the peak.

35. The Hype Cycle does not cover the entire technology
life cycle (from inception to decline). It addresses the
early stages, when hype and mismatched
expectations are at their highest levels.
These stages are caused by market events

39. IT Market Clock
Advantage-assets in the customized phase,
which provide differentiated technology,
service or capability
Choice-assets in the mass-customized phase,
subject to increasing levels of standardization
and growing supply options
Cost-assets in the commoditized phase,
where differentiation between alternative
sources is at its minimum level and
competition centers on price
Replacement-assets in the disfavored phase,
usually legacy technologies, services or
capabilities

42. Why?
Technological limits and missing of flexibility
Gap between business goal IT delivery
76+% maintenance, 20% innovation
Broken promises

51. (posizione per un backend developer)
Il candidato ideale deve conoscere e saper utilizzare:
1) Programmazione Java j2ee.
2) Conoscenza di almeno uno dei framework Struts o spring.
3) Gradite conoscenze: liferay, Hibernate, Maven.
4) Buona esperienza ambiti front-end e back-end
5) Conoscenza di Photoshop

52. Conclusions

53. Successful technologies are NOT
likely to be COOL!

54. Waiting for success stories will leave
the field open for your competitors!

55. IT is not a COMMODITY, but to
became a STRATEGIC ASSET have to
be managed

56. If you aren’t a developer, find a good
CTO
If you are a developer, find a startup
were IT is a strategic asset

57. La conoscenza e la capacità di dominare le tecnologia
sono condizioni necessarie ancorché non sufficienti: le
tecnologie di per se stesse non risolvono i problemi, ma
sono l’elemento abilitante essenziale per perseguirne la
risoluzione.
