5 Predictions for the Future of Collaboration - #2
Yesterday I shared my
first prediction regarding the future of collaboration. Here’s my
second prediction:Prediction #2:
It is not about “on-premise” versus “on-demand”,
it will be all about the User ExperienceIn the technology industry we tend to focus a lot on the underlying computing
model and how best to deliver functionality and value. That makes sense,
because it’s core to what we do. But as an industry need to move beyond
this conversation. Ultimately User Experience is what matters.We need to provide an experience that’s consistent and seamless, with easy
access to the services you care about, regardless of your location or device.To enable this seamless experience, applications must be hosted and delivered
through a combination of on-premise and on-demand networks working
together. Bottom line, there will always be a combination of different
types of applications – some that are local and others that are in the cloud.There are a few factors driving this:
First, a multi-generational work force demands multiple modes of
collaboration. The Millennial generation – those born after 1980 – has a
natural affinity for real time, synchronous social communication, enabled by
tools such as chat, SMS, new forms of video, and interactive decision-support
systems. While others will still prefer asynchronous modes such as
email.Second, individual preference for collaboration tools will vary. For
instance, my boss John Chambers uses video blogs as his preferred collaboration
tool. I, on the other hand, use blogs, micro-blogging and social networks quite
extensively. We need to architecturally combine video, voice and data on a
unified platform –– and allow for the personalization of collaboration
tools.Third, mobility will be a major factor – going forward the “where” in
collaboration will become less relevant. What if we can access applications from
any where on any device? In the palm of your hand or a 50” screen – with the
same HD experience. And while you might think that “the cloud” can
actually address a lot of this on its own, there will always be a need for the
security, reliability, scalability, and control of the on-prem enterprise
network.So a key focus for technology innovation is to enable an organization’s
on-prem network to seamlessly interoperate with the Cloud. And going
forward, collaboration will be about technology adapting to people’s needs
rather than the other way around.

Weaving a Web Around Information
Semantic Web technology allows companies to provide context for data,
helping them distinguish or connect info from disparate sourcesNo question the Internet makes it easier to unearth information, but it’s
still a work in progress when it comes to finding the relationships between data
squirreled away in one corner of the Web and online facts and figures
elsewhere.
That’s where Semantic Web works its magic. The emerging
technology makes it possible to tag, describe, and provide context for countless
bits of online information. For instance, Semantic Web tools can help search
engines distinguish between various meanings of a word, such as “mercury”—be it
the chemical, the planet, the Roman god, or the Ford Motor
vehicle.
Proponents say Semantic Web tools hold great potential for
changing how companies correlate information scattered across disparate
databases and software programs. Eli Lilly, Citigroup, and Kodak are among the
companies dipping a toe in Semantic Web waters. To see how, read on.
