S vremena na vrijeme naletim na zanimljiv dokument kojeg mi je guba podijeliti s vama. Jedan od takvih je i novo izvješće Accenture Technology Group: "
Everything Elastic: Accenture Technology Vision 2009" koji se bavi uglavnom cloud computingom i tehnologijama vezanim uz njega. Da ne duljim, par izvadaka iz teksta:
"What if your business capabilities could stretch, change and expand at will?
What if your workforce is no longer a defined group of people and skills but can include a wide range of talent—the occasional expert from far away who can solve a difficult problem or a hundred new employees quickly brought on board to meet a sudden business spurt?
What if your business processes no longer reflected only what you do inside your company but can gracefully include and integrate constantly hanging processes—yours as well as those of your suppliers, clients and other business partners?
Accenture envisions a time, not long from now, when business capabilities may essentially be “elastic,’’ capable of flexing to adjust to any level of economic volatility and able to catapult your organization to unprecedented levels of performance.
An “everything elastic” business will be able to innovate far more effectively by augmenting its research and development (R&D) efforts with input from any and all employees, researchers from universities, its customers and even the public at large. The organization’s IT capabilities will no longer be limited to the hardware and software located in the data centers but can be sourced dynamically from a range of providers in different geographies to suit local conditions and markets.”
