IntroductionWhile social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies add a new

dimension to your business model, to fully maximize their value

consider the sum is greater than its parts.

The formula for the Future of Work is called SMAC - social, mobile,

analytics and cloud on one integrated stack, where each function

enables another to maximize their effect.

This is the new enterprise IT model delivering an organization that is

more connective, collaborative, real-time and productive.

Introduction(cont)Every fifteen years or so, the IT industry has witnessed new

innovations in computing which have changed the way IT

services are delivered to the business and end users.

After the many era we’re now in what many call the fifth

wave of corporate IT. This fifth wave is characterized by a

new master IT architecture comprised of social, mobile,

analytics and cloud technologies collectively known as

SMAC.

New IT Enterprise

Social TechnologiesSocial technologies powering mediums such as

Facebook, You Tube, Twitter, Four sqaure and many more have made geographic boundaries meaningless and enabled the implementation of virtual platforms to connect, discuss and exchange views; generate, rank, rate and curate content, and collaborate with each other. These make it easy for users to reach out to a large number of industry participants in upstream, downstream and horizontal markets as well as diverse consumer segments.

Mobile TechnologiesMobile technologies have enabled people to

engage, view and act on any information (if they choose to do so) at their convenience. They enable hands-on entrepreneurs to obtain a clear view of their business operations and take decisions in areas ranging from financials to inventory management, even while they are on the move. Today, financial institutions are leveraging mobile technologies that support them in their financial agendas, and multiple modes of payments and remittance solutions are empowering owners and employees of SME industries.

AnalyticsAnalytics refers to the utilization of raw data,

inference rules, and analysis models to provide decision makers to perform necessary steps to improve their day to-day or milestone activities. Volume, Variety and Velocity are the three main characteristics of Analytics. Volume refers to quantity of data, Variety refers to divergent of data and Velocity refers to speed of data.

Analytics(cont.)Analytics can change the human interests

depending upon his activities when his or her shopping on online or switching from one bank to other bank.

Internet of Things(IoT), can also play analytics role in future for an analyzing Humans, Automobiles,Plants,

Animals etc.,.• After 2015, Bank operations can be done on

social websites like facebook,Twitter etc.,.• Huge requirements for job inAnalysts and

Data miners

Cloud TechnologiesCloud is a general model for enabling on demand

network and a convenient way to access a pool of computing resources which includes servers, networks, applications and services. The main features of cloud includes Data Storage, data back up, data Accessibility, Collaboration and Resources and Time Conscious. In general, it is a term covering the delivery of hosted services such as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS over the Internet.

Cloud Technologies(contd.)Cloud Technologies is going to abolish all the

technologies,pc’s,storage devices,physical devices etc.,.

The Organisations all over the world are going to changed their physical Devices to cloud technologies.

Cloud can public,private ,hybrid or shared,community

by this different cloud the safety,reliability,trusted services can be given by service vendors.

• Companies like Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce,etc.,. are providing huge jobs for cloud services as saas,iaas,paas.

SMAC Trend

How Technologies within SMAC work together?In today's digitally connected world, no product or

offering is complete without having a touch of at-least one technology from SMAC stack. For e.g. Traditional ERP systems are offering look and feel of their front-end applications like that of social media. Almost every company needs applications available on mobile devices. New application purchases are being evaluated to be cloud deployable. Big data and advanced analytics are buzz words today in enterprises. 

Impact on Enterprise Applications:Organizations, in order to effectively run their

businesses, traditionally have been using many enterprise applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Project Management, Business Intelligence (BI Tools), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise application integration (EAI), Document Management, Content Management, directory services (LDAP) and more. These applications are in use for many years and serve as backbone of the organizations. In recent past, this application portfolio is being augmented by some technologies from SMAC stack.

Statistics

SMAC E-GovernanceThe term E-Governance is self explanatory indicating

that it is technology driven governance. It is the application of Information, Communication, Technology and Networking for services based on government policies to provide facilities. It includes information transactions and services between Government to Consumer (G2C), Government

to Business (G2B), Government to Government (G2G) and other interactions of entire government framework. There

are many state governments of India who have started moving e-governance in SMAC way. The new generation of

e-governance will be known as EGP (E-Governance) 2.0 or e-kranti.

SMAC E-Governance(contd.)Governments are following and using SMAC process

for raising their ideas,schemes to public.Examples for SMAC E-governance State Governments

of India has implemented.

Example 1:- SMAC by Government of Andhra Pradesh, India There is one project by Andhra Pradesh government of India in Hyderabad who have implemented SMAC technologies to provide better e-governance. The project carried out by government of Andhra Pradesh uses collected data of global positioning systems (GPS) integral in the city buses for public/ social transport improvement.

Example 2:-SMAC by Government of Maharastra is moving to SMAC and cloud

Technologies for reducing costs of Pc’s and stroage devices.

SMAC EffectIn all Industries across the business landscape,

the SMAC Stack™ is eroding the century-old blueprint of value chains and spawning new, highly distributed, virtualized business models. The power of this technology platform is in treating it as a stack, for its components have a multiplying effect when they work in combination.

Implementing By:Cognizant,Mphasis,Capgemini,Etc..

Applications:Mobile Banking,E-governance,Market Intelligence,Business Productivity,Online marketing,Social Media,E-store etc…

Advantages:It allows to grow business partnership of with other

business sector.

SMAC e-governance allows to engage citizens on a more personal level and get insight into their likes, dislikes, physical whereabouts and habits thus enabling egovernance to deliver more targeted messages and provide individual support for enhancing citizens loyalty

Drawbacks:There are some risk factors in gathering big data

while applying SMAC

If data is more secure then there would be restrictions of rights on use of data

It would be challenging to protect database also

There are some other concerns, which can be misused, in applying result of analysis.

Conclusion:

Every application and every human being is, or will be touched by, at-least one technology of SMAC stack. Business leaders need to be cautious of advancement in this stack and should not miss the bandwagon, as this technology stack in coming years will transform the way they run their businesses. So, this stack has high potential to disrupt their IT landscape. They should carefully evaluate and analyze the impact from each of these technologies on their software applications and adopt accordingly. However, there is no immediate adoption need to act in haste, but a careful impact analysis is required. Especially for enterprise applications, the impact of this entire stack is not high - only Cloud and Analytics will have some impact.
