What is the role of cloud computing, web 2.0, and web 3.0 semantic technologi...Mills Davis
The US has a new administration that values transparency, citizen participation, collaboration, information sharing, and internet technology. This presentation maps the role of information and communication technologies (specifically, cloud computing, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 semantic technologies) in the evolution of government information systems from e-gov (silos with web front ends) to connected governance (e.g. distributed social computing environments for collaborative work, information sharing, knowledge management, and participatory decision-making.)
As consumers demand ever-greater amounts of high-quality content over the Internet,
service providers (SPs) are finding it difficult to increase revenues while containing costs.
This is due mainly to two trends: (1) over-the-top (OTT) content providers have outsourced
the delivery of content to pure-play content delivery network (CDN) companies, and (2) traffic
growth (with no resulting revenue benefit) is increasing network build-out and maintenance
costs for SPs.
Advanced Media Analytics for the Digital AgeCognizant
Advanced analytics can provide media and entertainment companies with the fact-based decision-making capabilities they need to thrive in their increasingly digitized industry.
The document discusses how government IT procurement has traditionally resulted in bespoke, complex, and costly systems. It argues that emerging digital technologies allow a new approach where systems and services are disaggregated and reaggregated in a modular, standardized way around user needs. This could transform public services by moving away from input-focused bureaucracies towards outcomes-based models leveraging open platforms and a utility marketplace of interchangeable components. However, significant skills, processes, and mindset changes would be required within government to take advantage of this new approach.

Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service(SaaS), web2.0 and other recent well-know technology trends in which the common theme is satisfying the increasing computing needs of the users while reducing costs.
There is a move towards purchasing software as a service (SaaS) rather than buying and hosting the application internally. Industry researcher International Data Corp. says that the worldwide sales of public IT Cloud services will reach $55.5 billion in 2014, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.4%. But for independent software vendors (ISVs) who built their business around the traditional model of selling licenses and maintenance agreements, moving to SaaS involves drastic changes in every aspects ranging from their business model, sales and marketing strategies, development methods and their own IT requirements.
This Handbook explains the importance of Cloud and how the market is moving towards delivering software as a service. The market trends and predictions explains the need for the ISVs to transform from software developers to services providers. This move will provide them with tremendous benefits and will keep them competitive. To meet the transformational challenges, the ISVs are required to unlearn some beliefs and learn new ones.
1) 5G is the emerging standard for wireless communications that aims to connect everything through higher speeds and lower latency. It is being developed through industry organizations like 3GPP but no single entity owns it.
2) Hybrid cloud infrastructure combines on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud options for flexibility. It has evolved from earlier concepts of distributed computing and builds on virtualization.
3) Headless technology separates the front-end interface from the back-end data, allowing content to be delivered and accessed through any device. It uses a RESTful API to share content independently of presentation layer.
Between Creation and Consumption: The Muddle in the MiddleOnFrame Ltd
But until recently, there’s really
only been one channel available
for delivering it: broadcast TV.
For brand marketers, that meant expensive TV ads. For media and content owners, it meant a tightly
managed channel to market controlled by a few power players. However, recent advances in consumer
devices and ubiquitous broadband have changed this. Today, there are numerous ways to get content in
front of viewers and a large number of business models to play with.
At one end, content creators have increasingly powerful and sophisticated tools at their fi ngertips and
at the other end, consumers are hungry for more and more high quality entertainment. The range of
outlets through which audiences consume content has also grown and diversifi ed with new technologies
and devices allowing them to watch and listen anytime, anywhere. This recent explosion of new channels
and business models has led to an equally dramatic infl ux of innovators, disruptors and challengers – all
competing for a fi nite resource: the time and attention of consumers.
On the surface, everything seems fi ne, however many content owners, distributors and marketers
responsible for getting their content to market are unable to make the most of what should be a golden
age. The tools and systems currently being used to manage and distribute content belong to the past.
They are expensive to run, often add unnecessary bureaucracy to everyday processes, limit commercial
and creative agility and usually rely on third parties to execute requests.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be like this. If, that is, the industry recognises that its traditional ways of
managing and distributing fi lm and TV content are no longer sustainable in today’s multi-platform world.
If content owners are to regain control of their own destiny, they need to embrace new technologies and
platforms to eliminate the friction and infl exibility imposed by the old ways of managing media. Consumers
are demanding ever more fl exibility in the ways in which they consume and control content, shifting
constantly between different screens and devices.
