Accelerate with emerging technologies

There is a constant need to develop insights into new technology to invent growth and transform business in order to gain a competitive edge. This is what we at Concego concentrate on. We are concerned with using emerging technologies to create new business or to integrate seamlessly into existing models

When we talk of emerging technologies we refer to Internet related technologies which can have far reaching effects on the way you conduct business. We actively understand the new technologies like cloud computing, Ajax, web 2.0, SOA. And then we go beyond this and redefine them from business perspective so that they add value to business. It could be a small modifications which accelerate business or big changes which transform them altogether.

Emerging technologies definitely bring change and change is something not everyone is comfortable with. The progressive are ready to adopt change and go ahead towards reinventing business. Others however are comfortable with their traditional methods and reluctant to experiment with new technologies which might need re adjusting. This is surprising considering the enormous impact emerging technologies have on business.

How emerging technologies impact business

Information technology is neither a commodity nor an afterthought. IT is a strategic asset, when implemented and used appropriately

Transform business

Here we do not talk about technology alone. IT is more than merely standardizing /automating structured processes. We refer to the attitude towards technology and a paradigm shift from the traditional IT methods to the dynamic SOA where a loosely-integrated suite of services are provided which can be used within multiple business domains. New ways of communicating, with web 2.0 portals and web 3.0 in the horizon are opening new opportunities. There has been a movement away from installed applications to hosted application (SaaS), from own or rented servers to cloud computing. More and more people have discovered cloud computing which cuts down operational costs and leaves ample time for innovations. It is true that a business in order to stay ahead of competition has to change at the operational edge and customize its information environment and modify processes as needs evolve. Right solutions provide growth and transform business.

Bridging the IT business gap

The ‘what’ and ‘how’ of business are two different aspects i.e. what you need to do, and how it is to be done. Business managers need to focus on the ‘what’ i.e. what the business needs and not be bothered continuously by keeping pace with software updates or computing issues. IT focuses on HOW i.e. the implementation of new technologies and concretization of ideas which are necessary for growth. Virtualization is a step forward in this direction. SOA, cloud computing and SaaS give businesses the time to focus on growth and strategize. IT and business is a two way dialog. By handing over storage and server needs a company frees its internal resources by shifting the burden placed on its in-house IT team to a third-party provider. As a result the In-house IT departments can focus on business-critical tasks.

Global model

Business today is no longer location dependant. With technology one can access systems regardless of location or device. This has made the world smaller and business more flexible. There is no fixed infrastructure with third party infrastructure being readily available. SaaS (software as a service), HaaS (hardware as a service ) and even PaaS ( Platform as a service ) , is becoming popular and access is easy from anywhere.

Increased Revenue

Emerging technologies do not only reduce costs but also increase ROI. Some technologies open new vistas and opportunities and others improve existing products and generate extra revenue. Web 2.0 is a good example of how new avenues for revenue generation can be created. Face book alone has millions of users and it attracts advertisers, application developers. Some social networking sites have a member ship fee and one has to pay to have a premium account. All one needs is the right technology and an innovative mind.

Reduced costs

This benefit alone is sufficient to advocate the cause of technologies which enhance business for isn’t the purpose of business to increase profits? Cloud computing helps cut down the cost of infrastructure, skilled personnel and paying for peak capacity. There is ample computing storage capacity with flexibility and scalability. No longer having to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues, organizations will be free to concentrate on innovation. The CAPex is converted into OPex. You do not need to handle hardware purchasing, scaling, upgrades etc There is no need to rent a server, care about web hotel or server/hardware owning. With Ajax you save time and time is money. There are no longer long waits for loading the page or unnecessary bandwidth charges. Technology is integrated mainly to enhance production and quality at reduced costs.

Speed

Speed is essential for a business to stay ahead. Our expertise with the changing face of the Internet helps you to evolve faster ways to achieve business targets and enhance business value. Cloud computing and SaaS helps distributing applications to users or customers faster as resources are shared and all that is needed is to deploy the hosting server to make it available. Web 2.0 communities are invaluable for feed back on new products and shorten the product development time and help in targeting valuable marketing resources. Ajax is another application that accelerates speed for the user interface. It can reduce the number of round trips by minimizing the number of page transitions in a web application

Flexibility

Since development, distribution and consumption of application and services is faster, cheaper and easier than before you can quickly adopt to changes

Empowering employees

Emerging technologies empower employees to face the unexpected and perform beyond the average. Communication tools (Email, IM, Voice), document authoring tools, access to user created content make working seamless. A flexible work platform with connected information makes it possible to share resources and experiences and empower employees.

Effectiveness

Core enterprise applications will become more effective through the incorporation of Web 2.0 technologies, Ajax etc. Next-generation Web platforms can be very effective in accelerating business revenues. Overall procurement and sales strategies become innovative with interactive web2.0 platforms.

Scalability

IT departments that anticipate an enormous increase in user load normally panic and scramble to secure additional hardware and software, but with cloud computing this is no longer the case. There is no longer the need to cater to peak loads as user based services are available with cloud computing. An organization can add and subtract capacity as its network takes the load as it increases. It can reduce the size of uploaded and downloaded data because it allows the web programmer to control exactly what is transferred. Better yet, because cloud-computing follows a utility model in which service costs are based on consumption, companies pay for only what they use.

Easy Implementation

It is easy for a business to take off with technology as a friend. There is no need to go in for complicated hardware, software licenses or implementation services. With the help of a cloud-computing arrangement all these problems can be solved immediately. The best part is that there is no need for investment.

Skilled Practitioners

A new technology brings with it a new set of skill requirements. With cloud computing there is the dual advantage of having skilled professionals and huge storage and computing capacity with minimal investment.

Quality of Service

The quality of service depends on the vendor .In cloud computing the vendor offers 24x7 support and is manned by experts. There are no breaks in providing of service. Apart from this the best professionals are available at no extra cost to cater to your professional needs.
