"Such change may well feel strange as, according to Chambers, more and more intelligence, previously part of applications, middleware and operating systems, will reside instead in the network. At the same time, storage and applications will be completely virtualized. Users won’t know where the application they’re deploying resides. The network will be able to connect any device’s screen to any application an individual is authorized to access."
SearchCIO: IT execs eager to
exploit Web 2.0 wave"We have a production system call center application, an IBM portal-based call center application using Ajax," Kness said. 'We're using it to get all kinds of real-time information. To get prices, related customers, lots of information in related portlets. When you call me, and I'm a representative, I want to look at your account details. Ajax goes out and gets the information without waiting for the screen refreshing. It's definitely solved problems associated with browsers-based, portal-based applications. You need the speed."
ZDNet.com/Enterprise Web 2.0: Nine ideas for IT managers considering Enterprise 2.0
"As browser-based software, SaaS, and Web 2.0 continue to make some inroads in the enterprise, it's the lack of useful pioneer reports that hampers the early adoptors. Sure, many of us witness the often amazing trends taking place out on the Web in the form of mountains of user generated content and communication and collaboration occuring en masse via blogs and spaces. But the big question is still with us: Can the motivations and context that makes the latest generation of software on the Web so compelling, and hence popular, be made just as meaningful in the enterprise?"
Aswath Weblog: Intelligence at the End
"In my opinion, the sad aspect of ["Stupid Network" by David Isenberg"] is that a generation of engineers didn't pay attention to developing intelligent end points for PSTN. Most of the computers as early as early 90's were bundled with telephone applications with address book, logs and voice mail. Now these features are available in VoIP world, but they are services offered by VOIP service providers and not realized at the ATA (for the most part). So where are the intelligent end devices? Where is the angst when one reads about services in the middle when they could be realized at the end? Shouldn't we at least attempt to realize them at the end?"
