2. Introduction
SMAC is also known as Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud and many call it as fifth
era of corporate IT.
After the main frame era, mini-computing era, personal computer era and
client-server era new era is found known as SMAC.
The key changes over time throughout all the evolution, has been the exponentially
increasing processing power of computers.
It also increased study growth in the number of computing device, applications and
users.
The real promise of SMAC technologies is not necessarily their individual
contributions or their cost saving and process efficiencies for IT.
SMAC has potential to support the continued digitization and automation of
business models and processes.
3. Contd…
Because of SMAC we are moving into new “digital industrial revolution”.
In next few years three emerging market forces, whose effects are already being felt
across all industries and geo graphics, impacting not only the nature of IT, but also
the nature of how we conduct business itself.
The IT department of future will need to address these market forces by leveraging
an array of emerging and disruptive technologies, including SMAC architecture, to
support their business opportunities in the most efficient manner.
Nowadays customers and employees are expecting style of commerce, content and
collaboration that’s social, mobile, analytics, cloud enabled.
They are looking for same anytime, anywhere, and any device convenience that
they are familiar with in their Facebook.
4. Trends
In SMAC era, next generation of business applications needs to embrace this same
approach to enhance the end user experience and maximize convenience and
productivity.
SMAC is not only about mobile device management, mobile application , mobile
application management and social platforms in silos but also integrate these
capabilities into a seamless user experience.
In SMAC era, the role of the CIO within many organizations is now changing.
It’s moving from that of an “engineer”, operating IT as the engine room, to that of
a “pioneer” helping the C-Suite make IT an actual part of the business.
In many cases, industrial-age business models and processes are being torn-down
into their component activities, or “units of work”, and completely re-designed from
the ground up in the new digital context.
5. Contd…
In the SMAC era, IT departments will need to provide an information
infrastructure layer capable of not only processing vast amounts of data streaming
into the enterprise in real-time, but also capable of learning from this information
and making intelligent decisions.
We can think of this as an “intelligent management and operations” capability
within their enterprise architecture. To give a sense of the growing importance of
this trend, by 2017, 10% of computers will be learning rather than processing.
The table below shows the rough magnitude of these changes across the various
computing eras – dates and numbers are approximate just to give a sense of the
order of magnitude.
7. Interest Areas
I am very much interested in cyber security frameworks and architectures used
as security parameters for SMAC.
I intend to work on cyber security framework and architectures to strengthen the
security of SMAC .
