Simon May discusses how the future may look with respect to social media, apps, devices, cloud computing, and big data. Some key points are that Chinese millennials spend 34 hours per week on social media, over 1 billion hours are spent on Xbox Live per month, and the Royal Mail has 28,000 mailboxes in the cloud. The future may see more flexibility with small businesses acting big and big businesses acting small. Cloud computing is defined as on-demand access to shared configurable computing resources over a network.

25. Cloud definition
What is a cloud?
Cloud computing is a model for enabling
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released
with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and
is composed of five essential characteristics, three
service models, and four deployment models.
The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing
26. Public?
The cloud infrastructure is made available to the
general public or a large industry group and is
owned by an organization selling cloud services.
27. Private?
The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an
organization. It may be managed by the organization
or a third party and may exist on premise or off
premise.
28. Hybrid?
The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two
or more clouds (private, community, or public)
that remain unique entities but are bound
together by standardized or proprietary
technology that enables data and application
portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load-
balancing between clouds).

What we’re seeing is that sharing is essential, sharing with both those internally and externally –it’s no good if they send a business proposal to a client and they can’t open the document.It’s essential to be able to express ideas with the clarity with which they intended, it’s life or death, mortgage payment or default at times. It’s not good getting a graph that looks like it was created in 2000 when everyone else is pitching in 2011.

Agility and responsiveness are becoming more overwhelming drivers than simply saving moneyMoving into new markets in new parts of the world is simpleNiels Bohr once said – “making predictions is difficult – especially about the future” Businesses can easily explore a new market because the attendant risk of doing so is greatly reduced as a result of not having to invest in infrastructure to enable the explorationExample: Esri a company that creates complex geographic relationship models for industry and government has been able to move into new markets because they haven’t had to invest in infrastructure in each region they want to explore

They’re small with staff count countable on fingers and toes, but they act like a massive company attracting massive clients.
