Cloud Computing & Mobility Solutions - Way to Go!

It is an era of open source technologies as businesses as well as organisations are putting major emphasis on cloud computing, mobile technology, and Big Data. With the current socioeconomic paradigm in place and data driven services coming to the mainstream, Businesses would soon be jumping the open source bandwagon.

The Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) also follows down that same path by providing a platform for collective convergence of developers, end users and organisations to discuss the advancements in open-source, mobile and cloud technologies.

The crux of OSBC 2013 was to visualize key strategies that can be put in place so as to streamline business process and make them more effectively data-driven. The conference featured highly respectable industry leaders and technologists putting their thoughts together and giving key sessions on how open source technology is having vital implications from an enterprise perspective.

There have been huge technological advancements in cloud as well as mobile in the last year putting a definitive shift towards open source away from closed and proprietary technology. There were many technology evangelists at the conference who were lobbying for open source as the de facto standard. There were major points of discussion at the conference with larger consensus on data-rich mobile services incorporating open APIs.

There are many strategic challenges faced by IT admins on day to day basis which is why Open Business Conference featured dedicated sessions on open cloud as well data explosion and how organisations can navigate their core competencies to have a more diverse approach. In my opinion this can be highly fruitful for enterprise software infrastructure as they can transform from traditional business strategies and drive the consumerization of IT operation practices.

PaaS (platform as a service) has also helped Developers Bridge the gap between development and deployment. It provides a collaborative set of cloud computing services that acts as a computing platform and a solution stack as a service. The conference also proved in a way that the service delivery model surely has helped end users to encapsulate on associated services for user-led innovation.There were some vital points shared on open enterprise which has seen its fair share of volatility. During the keynotes there were many voices from industry leaders that laid emphasis on data enforcing data security and privacy policies in the mobile enterprise using open source. The overall essence of the conference gave vital insights to the open source and its viability in the current technology incorporation among enterprises which would have a huge implication on how business strategies are implemented.
