The document discusses digital disruption and how new digital technologies are disrupting traditional industries. It notes that 73% of peers say they have a digital strategy but only 19% feel they have the right technology, 15% believe they have the skills and capabilities, and 14% feel they have the proper processes to execute their strategy. The document proposes that companies implement a digital platform to access technologies like social, mobile, cloud, and big data to support digital innovation at scale and speed and close the gap between having a strategy and effective execution.
Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit - Setting your path for digital transformationArthur Eyckerman
In order to stay competitive in your area, whether it’s Finance/Retail/Manufacturing/Transport/Healthcare or any other vertical, you’ll have to open up access to data in order to enable your digital business. In the disruptive digital economy, companies driven by algorithms are delivering services without even owning the physical assets your business used to be built on. New business models need to align with the fast changing world in which everything is interconnected. API’s are the standard and they need to evolve from an IT technology into a business transformation enabler.
Monitoring Containerized Application Environments with eBPFDevOps.com
Monitoring solutions often operate in silos, following the traditional IT organizational structure: infrastructure, network and applications teams. Further, such solutions sometimes operate without the necessary granular visibility into modern containerized environments. Although knowing what is occurring in each aspect of the IT environment is valuable, being able to correlate data from different layers and data sources is fundamental to meet today’s expectations on quality and avoid impacting results.
Monitoring must provide a good understanding of what is going on and what could be brewing undetected. In order to be well-equipped and pursue the goal of persistent satisfactory user experience, IT Operations should dig deeper into inter and intra-container traffic and identify where trouble starts, as well as correlate data from multiple sources for a complete view of the application environment.

Solving the Internet of Things - AWS IoT Web Day AWS Germany
As the Internet naturally evolves from being accessible to PCs, mobile, and now things, the IoT presents an enormous opportunity for device manufacturers and service providers. However this giant opportunity also comes with an abundance of hard to solve problems, some of which are still unseen. As a device manufacturer, which protocol should you follow? How do you create a secure and scalable end-to-end solution? How do you architect a solution to connect any device? How do you plan on managing a device that could be in the field for 20 years and continue to roll out new features and integrations?

Defining a Digitalization Reference Architecture for the Pharma IndustryCapgemini
The rapid pace of technological advancement and an increasingly volatile business environment causes pharma industry players to face three main challenges. The first
challenge is to develop the critical ability to create and maintain a common view on the big picture of the organization’s architecture and environment. Linked to this is the challenge of making it decisible, which actions must be taken on strategical, business and technological level. The last challenge consists in identifying/considering the best
architectural approach and solution on a fine-grained level. This may include answer on question such as “Which approach we choose to implement a read replica in the cloud
(transactional replication using publish-subscribe between relational database systems, stream into a Redis Cache, …)?”
We develop a digitalization RA for pharma industry and incorporate three main areas, Internet of Things (IoT), Cognitive Computing (CC), and Augmented Reality (AR).
Digitalization is horizontally divisible into four sequentially arranged domains that can be understood as the stages of digitalization: Tag, Sense and Wire (1), Ingest (2), Analyze and Prepare (3), and Utilize (4). Technology components may be used across different industries. Applications developed and running in different industries may both interact or be integrated with each other and exchange data through these
industry-specific applications (cool chain monitoring while transportation, healthcare research data for public, origination & distribution information for authorities). For this reason, our frame possesses a third dimension: connected industries (in pharma these include transportation & logistics and the public sector). This approach generates a big picture that transparently illustrates the pharma RA for digitalization including its stages, architecture layers and connections between building blocks across organizational boundaries and different industries.

Nuevas oportunidades de negocio en turismo OracleIberia
Presentación realizada por Arturo Luna e Ignacio Ayerbe en el IV Encuentro de Sector Turístico que tuvo lugar en Palma de Mallorca el 10 de febrero de 2016.
Es un día común y corriente en la empresa. Un día normal para la mayoría de los empleados. Son las 6 de la tarde y todo el mundo está cerrando su computadora. La jornada terminó, es hora de volver a casa. Pero no para ti. Para ti el día recién comienza. Te esperan largas horas delante de millones de planillas de Excel. Estás en el cierre de tu proceso de Planeación Financiera, la debes tener lista para presentarla a Dirección al día siguiente. Y, aunque te fascina el desafío, sabes lo estresante que puede llegar a ser.
Ya lo experimentaste anteriormente y te encontraste con muchos contratiempos: la comunicación con las demás áreas de la empresa no fluyó como esperabas, la información con la que contabas no era confiable, los indicadores no eran exactos.
Como resultado, el proceso falló, no lograste identificar dónde y por ende te faltó capacidad analítica para derivar las inversiones de la empresa hacia áreas de mayor crecimiento.
En Oracle sabemos lo que significa para ti la Planeación Financiera y es por eso que te invitamos el próximo Jueves 21 de Mayo a las 11AM a participar de nuestro webcast a cargo de Sergio Salcedo, Business Development Director en Oracle, donde te contaremos:
Cuáles son los desafíos en la Planeación Financiera que históricamente han enfrentado las organizaciones.
Cómo los CFO pueden realizar este proceso de forma organizada y eficiente.
Cómo involucrar al resto de las áreas de la empresa y mejorar así la calidad de la información que recibes.

Κυρίες και κύριοι, αγαπητοί σύνεδροι καλημέρα σας. Εκ μέρους της Oracle θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω τους διοργανωτές του συνεργείου για την πρόσκληση και το Πανεπιστήμιο για τη φιλοξενία.
Πριν ξεκινήσω θα ήθελα προκαταβολικά να ζητήσω συγγνώμη για τους πολλούς ξενικούς όρους της παρουσίασης. Πιστέψτε με πως δεν οφείλεται στην τεμπελιά μου να μεταφράσω την παρουσίαση. Οφείλεται εν πολλοίς στο γεγονός πως στις μέρες μας ζούμε μια κοσμογονία στον χώρο της Πληροφορικής και των Επικοινωνιών, η οποία παράγει συνεχώς νέους όρους που δεν έχουν προλάβει να ενσωματωθούν στη γλώσσα μας, τουλάχιστον με τρόπο καταληπτό απ΄όλους μας.
Όσοι ασχολούμαστε λοιπόν με την Πληροφορική ζουμε σε πολύ ενδιαφέροντες καιρούς.
Η Πληροφορική εδώ και δεκαετίες υπήρξε καταλύτης. Εχει βοηθήσει οργανισμούς και εταιρείες να γίνουν πιο αποδοτικοί. Παλιές διαδικασίες βασισμένες στο χαρτοβασίλειο έχουν αντικατασταθεί από συστήματα Πληροφορικής που όχι μόνο βοήθησαν στο re-engineer αυτών των διαδικασιών , αλλά εξασφάλισαν και τη σωστή ροή της πληροφορίας μέσα και ανάμεσα στους οργανισμούς.
Εδώ και πολλά χρόνια τα συστήματα Πληροφορικής είναι η ραχοκοκαλιά του κάθε οργανισμού.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια όμως έχουμε περάσει σε άλλο επίπεδο. Η Πληροφορική είναι στον πυρήνα της «ψηφιακής αναστάτωσης», της αλλαγής του τρόπου που παραδοσιακές επιχειρήσεις δραστηριοποιούνται και νέες εμαφανίζονται προσφέροντας τελείως νέες υπηρεσίες για να εξυπηρετήσουν παλιές ή νέες ανάγκες.
Και ποιά είναι η κεντρική ιδέα πίσω από αυτή την «ψηφιακή αναστάτωση»
Η καινοτομία
Ας δούμε ένα απλό παράδειγμα που θα μας βοηθήσει να κατανοήσουμε καλύτερα τους όρoυς Digital Disruption και Καινοτομία. Θα μιλήσω για μια αγορά 300 ετών, αυτή των ταξί στο Λονδίνο.
Μια παραδοσιακή μονοπωλιακή αγορά που έχει τις ρίζες της στις άμαξες που κυκλοφορούσαν στους δρόμους 3 αιώνες πίσω.
Για να είσαι οδηγός ταξί στο Λονδίνο πρέπει να περάσεις τουλάχιστον 2 χρόνια μελετώντας τους δρόμους της πόλης ώστε να τους μάθεις απ’ έξω. Περνάς προφορικές και γραπτές εξετάσεις αφού πληρώσεις ενα σημαντικό αντίτιμο. Αγοράζεις ένα ιδιόμορφο όχημα, πληρώνεις αδρά για να εγκαταστήσεις ταξίμετρο και είσαι έτοιμος. Όλη η διαδικασία εποπτεύεται απο αρμόδιο γραφείο το οποίο εισπράτει όλα αυτά τα έσοδα.
Αντιλαμβάνεστε τα τεράστια εμπόδια για να μπει κανείς σε αυτή την αγορά, αλλά αυτή ήταν η πραγματικότητα για 300 χρόνια.
Και μετά ήρθε το Uber. Μια εφαρμογή ride sharing.
Χωρίς καμία κεντρική διαχείριση, ειδικά διαμορφωμένα αυτοκίνητα, εξετάσεις και εξέταστρα. Αυτό που χρειάζεται ο οδηγός είναι ενα αυτοκίνητο, άδεια οδήγησης ασφάλεια και ένας έλεγχος του παρελθόντος του.
Πόσο disruptive ήταν το Uber? Οι οδηγοί ταξί του Λονδίνου διαμαρτυρήθηκαν έντονα έφτασαν να κλείσουν και την Trafalgar Square. Απαίτησαν την ψήφιση νόμων για την προστασία τους από τις Uber αυτού του κόσμου.
Και πράγματι κάτι άλλαξε. Για την Uber.
Αμέσως μετά τις κινητοποιήσεις τα downloads της εφαρμογής αυξήθηκαν κατά 850%.
Την υπόλοιπη ιστορία πιθανά και να την ξέρετε. Η εταιρεία μέσα σε πέντε χρόνια έφτασε να έχει αξία 40 δις, και να δραστηριοποιείται σε 63 χώρες.
Και το disruption της Uber δεν σταματάει εκεί.
Από τη φωτογραφία καταλαβαίνετε ποιό το επόμενο βήμα. Logistics.
Οι εταιρείες προσπαθούν να βρούν εναλλακτικές σε αυτό που ονομάζουμε “last mile” διανομή με τη χρήση της Uber και να παρακάμψουν πιο δαπανηρές εναλλακτικές όπως οι εταιρείες courier.
Το Disruption είναι πλέον καθημερινό φαινόμενο σε πολλές αγορές.
Όλοι γνωρίζουμε την επίπτωση του iTunes στη μουσική βιομηχανία.
Την επιπτωση του web publishing στις εφημερίδες τα περιοδικά και τους εκδοτικούς οίκους.
Τι έγινε με την εφεύρεση του ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου στις ταχυδρομικές υπηρεσίες.
ή τι έκανε η ψηφιακή κάμερα στην Kodak.
Και πιο πρόσφατα πως το εικονικό νόμισμα επηρεάζει τον πολιτικό και οικονομικό έλεγχο στο χρήμα ή πως το cloud και το mobile επηρεάζει τις παραδοσιακές επιχειρήσεις.
Τελικά ποιος είναι ο ορισμός του disruption?
Είναι η αλλαγή που συμβαίνει οταν νέες ψηφιακές τεχνολογίες ή επιχειρηματικά μοντέλα επηρεάζουν το value proposition υφιστάμενων αγαθών και υπηρεσιών.
Η αξία είναι λοιπόν αυτό που επηρεάζει το digital disruption, την οποία μπορεί να τη θεωρήσει κανείς με πολλές μορφές, καλύτερα, ταχύτερα, μεγαλύτερα, ευκολότερα, ελαφρύτερα, εξυπνότερα και φτηνότερα.
Νέες εταιρείες που χτίζονται πάνω σε αυτά τα νέα μοντέλα δεν απειλούν μόνο τους εγκατεστημένους απο χρόνια ανταγωνιστές τους αλλά και ολόκληρες αγορές και βιομηχανίες. Πολλές εταιρείες που δεν θα προσαρμοστούν μάλλον θα εξαφανιστούν σύντομα.
Συνεπως το ερώτημα δεν είναι αν θα παίξει κανείς στη νέα εποχή του Digital αλλά που θα παίξει.
Οι περισσότεροι οργανισμοί σκέφτονται πως η χρήση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών μπορεί να βοηθήσει ώστε να βελτιώσουν την εμπειρία του πελάτη. Όμως υπάρχουν περισσότερα που μπορεί κάποιος να επιτύχει με την χρήση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών. Αν δει κανείς διάφορες επιχειρήσεις θα διαπιστώσει πως χρησιμοποιούν την τεχνολογία για να βελτιωσουν τη λειτουργία τους ή ακόμη και για να δημιουργήσουν νέα επιχειρηματικά μοντέλα. .
Αυτά τα νούμερα δείχνουν τι συμβαίνει σήμερα, όχι τι θα συμβεί στο μέλλον.
Κάθε οργανισμός έχει την ευκαιρία να επιτύχει στην ψηφιακή εποχή.
Για να προσαρμοστεί όμως κανείς και να παραμείνει ανταγωνιστικός απαιτείται κάποιο είδος μετασχηματισμού.
Ανεξάρτητα από προηγούμενους μικρής ή μεγάλης κλίμακας μετασχηματισμούς απαιτείται πάλι η ευθυγράμμιση τεχνολογίας και επιχειρηματικού μοντέλου για την επιβίωση στον ψηφιακό κόσμο.
Για να γίνει μια επιχείρηση «ψηφιακή επιχείρηση» δεν αρκεί να φτιάξει μια δύο εφαρμογές για κινητά.
Πολλές επιχειρήσεις και οργανισμοί ακόμη και σήμερα αγωνίζονται για να σχεδιάσουν μια παραδοσιακή στρατηγική για τα Πληροφοριακά τους συστήματα, πόσω μάλλον μια ψηφιακή στρατηγική.
Παρόλα αυτά σύμφωνα με μια μελέτη της Forrester Research, το 73% των στελεχών δηλώνουν πως έχουν ήδη μια ψηφιακή στρατηγική.
Αρκεί όμως αυτό?
Στη ίδια έρευνα, οταν η συζήτηση φτάνει στην υλοποίηση αυτής της στρατηγικής η Forrester βρήκε πως μόνο το 19% των ερωτηθέντων θεωρούν πως έχουν την κατάλληλη τεχνολογία….
Ακόμη λιγότεροι είναι αυτοί που πιστεύουν πως έχουν τα προσόντα και τις ικανότητες ….
Και μόλις 14% αισθάνονται πως έχουν τη διαδικασία για να υλοποιήσουν την ψηφιακή στρατηγική τους
Αυτό καταδεικνύει ένα κενό ανάμεσα στη στρατηγική και την υλοποίηση

Για να δώσουμε ενα παράδειγμα καθώς όλο και περισσότεροι οργανισμοί εξετάζουν την εναλλακτική που προσφέρει το cloud, δεν πρέπει να πέσουν στην ίδια παγίδα integration όπως ακριβώς πριν 10 και 15 χρόνια με τα παραδοσιακά on premise συστήματα.
Επενδύοντας σε πολλές διαφορετικές λύσεις στενού scope, από διάφορους παρόχους θα σε αναγκάσει για μια ακόμη φορά να αφιερώσεις χρόνο και πόρους στη διασύνδεσή τους προσπαθώντας να τα δέσεις όλα μαζί.
Μα αυτός δεν ήταν ένας από τους λόγους για τους οποίους κάποιος εξαρχής θελει να πάει στο cloud?
Το συμπέρασμα είναι πως δεν πρέπει να επαναλαμβάνουμε τον παλιό τρόπο σκέψης καθώς κινούμαστε προς το cloud, το mobile, και γενικότερα την ψηφιακή εποχή.
Ενα από τα πράγματα που απαιτείται λοπόν έτσι ώστε να γεφυρωθεί το χάσμα ανάμεσα στην ψηφιακή στρατηγική και την υλοποίησή της είναι μια ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα.
Μια ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα είναι κάτι μεγαλύτερο από την υποδομή Πληροφορικής.
Η ψηφιακή εποχή απαιτεί πλατφόρμες που περιλαμβάνουν δυνατότητες Cloud, mobility, Social, ΙοΤ καθώς απίσης analytics και Big Data. Η πραγματική αξία βρίσκεται στη διασύνδεση όλων των παραπάνω. Η βασική ιδέα που χαρακτηρίζει μια ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα είναι να έχει ένα σετ ενιαίων resources που θα μπορουν να υποστήρίζουν τρέχουσες ανάγκες αλλά και μελλοντικές ευκαιρίες.
Η Oracle προσφέρει ακριβώς αυτό.
Μια πλήρη πλατφόρμα που περιλαμβάνει Social, mobile, cloud, Big Data και IoT αλλά που επίσης περιλαμβάνει διαχείριση δεδομένων, transaction processing, user interfaces, business rules, ασφάλεια, scalability και ελαστικότητα.
Η πραγματική αξία των 5 αυτών δυνάμεων που συζητήσαμε προκύπτει όταν δύο ή περισσότερες από αυτές συνδυάζοναι ώστε να οδηγήσουν στη βελτίωση ενός προιόντος, μιας υπηρεσίας ή της εμπειρίας του πελάτη.
Ας δούμε μερικά παραδείγματα
85% της πρόσβασης στα δίκτυα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης γίνεται μέσω κινητών συσκευών.
Το mobile και τα social media χρειάζονται το cloud για να λειτουργήσουν.
Και κάθε φορά που αλληλεπιδρούμε μέσα από τα social media παράγονται πολλές πληροφορίες που χρησιμοποιούνται για τη βελτίωση της εμπειρίας μας.
Βλέπουμε λοιπόν πως κάθε μια από αυτές τις δυνάμεις χρησιμοποιεί την άλλη και τη βελτιώνει . Για να επιτευχθεί αυτό απαιτείται integration ώστε η πληροφορία να ρέει από το ένα σύστημα στο άλλο.
Η μεγαλύτερη πρόκληση λοιπόν είναι η συγκόλληση αυτων των 5 δυνάμεων. Και αυτό είναι που η Oracle προσφέρει, αυτό είναι το όραμά της.
Δημιουργούμε την πιο πλήρη ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα, κατασκευάζοντας τα πάντα ώστε να δουλεύουν μαζί με στόχο να βοηθήσουμε τους πελάτες μας να
Εξοικονομήσουν δευτερόλεπτα σε μια mobile συναλλαγή
Να επιταχύνουν κατά μερικά λεπτά μια εσωτερική τους διαδικασία
να κόψουν μήνες για την είσοδό τους σε μια νέα αγορά
Αυτό το integration για το οποίο συζητάμε, στα πρώτα βήματα της ψηφιακής εποχής είχε παραμεληθεί πλέον όμως αναγνωρίζεται ως θεμελιώδες συστατικό της νέας εποχής.
Because that cool digital service won’t be very cool if it can’t get provisioned, billed for, registered in your customer service system, and a host of other essential integrations.
Ως επίλογο θα έλεγα πως είτε κάποιος οργανισμός θέλει να δημιουργήσει ενα νέο επιχειρηματικό μοντέλο ή να δημιουργήσει ενα νέο προιόν ή υπηρεσία που θα τον βοηθήσει να ξεπεράσει τον ανταγωνισμό απαιτείται η «ψηφιακή μεταμόρφωσή» του.
Η λάθος κίνηση θα ήταν να μην κάνει καμία κίνηση.
Ευχαριστώ για την προσοχή σας
Let Oracle help you on your journey through digital transformation.

Your Digital Business Platform should be:
The center of your company’s business and economic model;
Playing a significant role in the execution and delivery of business and customer strategies;
Based on one set of common resources;
For multiple, concurrent and future business opportunities;
Used to deliver and scale apps and data for digital business;
Managed as one asset yet heterogeneous in nature;
To be reused whenever needed…

And it must span big data, cloud, mobile, social, and the Internet of Things.
These are five distinct technology trends, but they are increasingly intertwined. And this is having a dramatic impact upon enterprise IT.
The biggest challenge that all enterprises will face is integrating these five forces together.
A digital business platform should connect your producers with your consumers and give them tools to interact with each other.
In essence, the Digital Business Platform is about enabling interactions.
This requires strong integration at every point along the customer journey.
And as enterprises get ready to move into a digital world where APIs, cloud, mobile, and RESTful interfaces rule, integration becomes even more critical.
