In this presentation, Ajay introduces the topic of SMAC and associated trends. He is interested in developing efficient and innovative services using cloud computing.
2. Introduction
SMAC (social, mobile, analytics and cloud)
It's the synergy created by social, mobile,
analytics and cloud working together
that creates a competitive advantage.
Minimal Overhead and Maximum Reach
The proliferation of structured and
unstructured data that is being created by
mobile devices, social media and website
browsing is creating new business models
built upon customer-generated data.
SMAC = + + +
SMAC creates an ecosystem
that allows a business to
improve its operations and
get closer to the customer
with minimal overhead and
maximum reach.
SMAC is the concept that
four technologies are
currently driving innovation
in business.
3. Social media has provided businesses with new ways to reach
And interact with customers.
Mobile technologies have changed the way people
c communicate, shop and work.
Analytics allow businesses to understand how, when and
where people consume certain goods and services
Cloud computing provides a new way to access
t technology and the data a business needs to quickly
respond to changing markets and solve business problems.
While each of the four technologies can impact a business individually, their
convergence is proving to be a disruptive force that is creating entirely
new business models for service providers.
4. Trends
The latest trend in the SMAC technology is digital transformation. Digital
Transformation refers to the changes associated with the application of digital
technology in all aspects of human society.
Digital transformation may be thought as the third stage of embracing digital
technologies:
Digital Competence → Digital Literacy → Digital Transformation
The latter stage means that digital usages inherently enable new types of
innovation and creativity in a particular domain, rather than simply enhance and
support the traditional methods.
Services that help you maintain digital assets and foster an environment for digital
innovation in the organization through people, processes and governance.
Digital Technology Enablement & Integration includes the technology from social,
mobile ,analytics and cloud technology stack (SMAC) plus the technical support to
make a digital strategy successful.
5. Impact of SMAC/digital transformation in the next five years
Now the SMAC technologies account for less than 10% of the total revenue of it companies
but according to international data corp.’s(IDC’S) estimate, Indian IT vendors will generate at
least $225 billion in SMAC related revenue in 2020.
Due to the SMAC/ digital transformation in the era of 2010-2020 the SMAC Stack will
represent $5 trillion in combined spending.
As many as 100 billion computing devices will be connected to the Web and billions of users
will be increased.
Corporations will be managing 50 times the data currently managed.
The SMAC impact is not only on changing business Models it is also on the enabling internal
organizational change.
6. Interest Areas
I have interest on the area cloud computing in the SMAC because,
92 % of businesses are completely satisfied with the cloud based
services and planning to increase their usage.
If I get an opportunity to do an internship, I would like to work on
the cloud based services and can learn latest trends in the cloud
services and try to implement more innovative and efficient cloud
services for the next generation.
