2014: Navigating the Road to Success
Is it OK?
Do you have it?
Does change seem out of control?
Ponder this . . .
The world is too big for us. There is too much dying, too many crimes, casualties, violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind the race in spite of yourself. It is an incessant strain to keep pace and we still lose so fast that you stagger in hopeless bewilderment. The political world witnesses new scenes so rapidly that you are out of breath trying to keep up with them. Everything is high pressure. Human nature can not endure much more!

Cloud Integration
No integration creates silos
Pre-integrated Cloud services i.e. ERP players supplementing core offerings
Storefronts of complementary solutions
In its infancy Integrators, ERP & Cloud providers team up
Integration is buyers problem
Strategy Components
Extensibility: ability to get information in & out APIs & Data Structures Backward Compatibility Deprecation Policies
Portability: ease of migrating from the cloud Data Export? Customized Business Logic? Contractual Terms on IP?
Reliability: performance of the service Integration to Core Systems? Will the Integration Scale?
Standards: create standards for adoption
Trending: Analyzing big data.
Data Explosion

What is Big Data?
Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using
on-hand database management tools or traditional data
processing applications. . . .
. . . What is considered "big data" varies depending on
the capabilities of the organization managing the set,
and on the capabilities of the applications that are
traditionally used to process and analyze the data set in
its domain.
- Wikipedia:

Thousand Terabytes = Petabyte
Million Terabytes = Exabyte
