SMAC( Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud
Technology):
SMAC gives new height to business. This technologies
when grouped on one integrated stack boosts up business. In
SMAC each key elements(Social, Analytics, Mobile and Cloud)
are interconnected with each other which maximises their
effects.
SMAC is new IT model which is trending(first choice) in
market for business. This formula is more productive, connected
and real time.
TRENDS:
The main application of SMAC technology is seen in E-commerce
business and E-banking. Consumers are getting every bit of information of
product on mobile phones sitting at their homes without any efforts therefore
they prefer to buy, shop online. SMAC also secure payment transfer facility
which is a reason of increase in e-banking . Due to e-banking long queues
are avoided hence is preferred by majority of bank customers.
Customers are getting attracted toward this e-business because of
this technology . Use of this SMAC technology in business is increasing in
much faster rate.
In survey of 2014 by emarketer after China, India is having highest
ecommerce sales growth rate .From this statistic it is assumed after five year
SMAC will cover most of the area of marketing and business.
INTREST AREA:
As per my understanding its best use is in business
so SMAC technology can be used to help business owner to
join the race of e-commerce business.
My thoughts after understanding this technology is to
create an application or website which includes every facility
of city integrated in it, that is banking, maps, transport
booking facility, Entertainments facility…etc. It will be an
encyclopaedia of city on mobile phones.
I have an example of it : “Nasik City Connect” android
app by city connect available on play store.
We can make better than this for city which is to be
explored by software engineers.
THANKYOU
