cloudchat

If the app is usable, the cloud is invisible and meaningless to the end user.

End Users are seeing more focus on their experience in application development and how technology is delivered. Cloud especially PaaS and SaaS offerings are increasing the agility of organizations to deliver for the end user whether its an intern

or external

The end users not only expect to have apps and products always available and in the mobile world they want everything Available everywhere!

For the Enterprises they are focused on security, migration, privacy of data and understand the need for disaster recovery... the transformation for the enterprise is much longer with more variables!

untethered access to innovation and services into an H2H world

One area where end users should see the benefits of cloud is faster access to new applications.

The next wave if big data driven analytics which optimize user experience based on machine understanding of the user - both experience and machine learning capability are likely to be delivered via cloud slns because else economics wont scale

The cloud is transforming how customers and enterprise companies work together. Clients expect a full service experience. When they can get help with all their technology needs, in a one stop shop marketplace, this builds customers for life!

cloud transformation in general, and cloud foundry/bluemix in particular gives apps to a) end users 5x faster (weeks not months), and b) the enterprise 5x cheaper

End user experience should be invisible to technology, easy to use devices and apps. Reducing steps to do stuff; new experiences

Customers want and live in a SMAC world.. #Social #Mobile #Analytics and #Cloud

End users don't think about "the cloud." They think about unlimited access to applications from multiple devices.

I feel the market and consumerization of IT is telling us that there should be no difference in the user experience of technology for consumer and enterprises. Technology becomes opaque.

@aha_inthe_cloud exactly - the cloud should be in the background for the end-user, no more noticeable than the clouds in the sky

UX is critical in both, users dont care about how its delivered (social) and dont see the anlytics - they see the outcome. Agree it's opaque @guriahluwalia - but buying process for tech is diff for consumer and enterprise

@bcwright1217 Agree UX & CX are difficult because not only are the skills of the user different but the desired outcomes are as well..

@aha_inthe_cloud With unlimited apps, we are now at a different plateau of problem and opportunity to solve complexity of a different kind. We have an Apps surplus, and a Context deficit.

Thanks, I will watch your interview. Need my mojo from @Grady_Booch and you!

@guriahluwalia #cloudmojo I like it.

this is why we build #crowdchat this is open, recorded, public, peer to peer. Frankly some amazing insights here. I learn everytime @IBM does a crowdchat

@IBMCloud I am now thinking of Honda's Asimo running purely on the cloud. Now that's both astounding and dramatic entrance

Data will feed the human part of this next generation of collaboration

I am a power user of the app @IFTTT as it automates multiple cloud bases solutions and applications to make my life more productive.. Cloud powers that entire process!

I love Waze!!!

CrowdChat in itself is a CrowdSourced way of producing knowledge that is later reference-able

I think you have two different cases, for the smaller companies its being laser focused on where you create value and using APIs to build an ecosystem that let's you act big. For the bigger companies, it's using APIs to open up access to the co

Part2: For the bigger companies, it's using APIs to open up access to the company's assets and know how in ways that couldn't be done in the past.

APIs in the cloud is how software is eating the world.

Automation & Software scare many but when you use API's and automate the workflow you can change the skill set of your workforce to manage work that is part of the business they are a part of.

APIs in the cloud offer distribution for developers; APIs are the data transport for cross application integration; cloud enables this

The challenge with APIs is not building them, but managing them: versioning, security, etc. APIs in the cloud require even better tools for management, especially for enterprises hoping to monetize assets.

Using API's to connect the software that runs a data center with your cloud software solution while also being secure and sustainable is a must for enterprise.

APIs play a crucial role in allowing enterprises to bring in new data sources for analysis, cloud is natural home for integration of data sources that are born and live outside any one enterprise's data center.

@jeffreyfkelly Yes I agree Jeff.. Data Data Data is what they want to make decisions but the key is connecting all the data sources and tying that to the business decisions.

APIs also key to all platform plays, e.g. app store

@bcwright1217 I feel you are on a point. In other words, API economy blurs the notion and distinction between smaller vs larger companies.

@guriahluwalia agree but agree with @bcwright1217 small companies can be on the giving and receiving of value through APIs

APIs will enable businesses to create ecosystems around that business core product, expanding their value proposition. Think 1000s of "AppStores" uniting supply chain and end user workflows.

By building and maintaining a secure, centralized and feature rich ecosystem of cloud offerings, is what enables an API-based economy to be possible. This creates a center point for biz & tech, allowing all nerve endings to end up in the cloud.

for startups it's let us scale to enterprise grade "overnight" - I think how that whole VC backed industry has changed in 10 years is a huge example

I think it's dramatic when it changes a whole industry. Again, AWS and Zillow come to mind right away.

this crowd chat app right here is an example; runs in cloud (#devops) lots of node etc; low cost high value; don't have to hire bunch of sys admins #infrastructure #code

First thing that comes to mind is Disaster recovery scenarios or collocation IT demands that weren't predicted!

I see analytics continuing to be huge spinning up cloud real time resource pools to do "point analytics" on data..system like capabilities at the finger tips #bluemix will be part of this

At #AWSreinvent it was very cool to see companies like @AirBnB & @Dropcam grow and expand so fast while never purchasing one physical server!

@CrowdCaptain that is true, people are exposed to apps that they never know runs on the cloud

in big companies that have already invested, the transformation tends to be looked at for cost savings and frankly that case is often hard to make

big companies that have already invested in systems need to focus on cloud projects where they develop new capabilities - analytics and other big data are use cases that make sense

Enterprises must find a scalable approach to grow & manage cloud applications while also using software to manage legacy equipment.

@iSocial_Fanz there is a lock in if to dependent on cloud;

the dramatic ones aren't all greenfield. they are often in seemingly fringe problems with outsized impact. e.g. can't access information, get cloud+mobile storage and sharing >> increase productivity + sales + happiness

Lock in is a misnomer - there are plenty of SIs that will move you cloud to cloud

it just a function of business case if you worried about cost... if you are missing capabilities, then that's a different challenge, but possibly an opty too @edla

I am impressed by crowd-sourced collaboration (like Waze for navigaiton). The pattern of peer-to-peer capability in #IoT rather #IoTH (H for Human) enabled by cloud presents astounding possibilities to society and business.

we've seen a dramatic impact of the cloud in the form of cloud foundry powered app factory which resulted in 1-2 year time to market advantage for 1B+ enterprise (media) against competition
