Comment on CRM, ECM, BPM flowcharts, Agile Case Management and Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) by Andrew Smith @onedegree

We have dropped all the terms from the workFile Vision product, rather going for our concept name @WE (Adaptive Working Environment) which includes functionality found in ECM, CRM and APG (Adaptive Process Guidance, which is a more flexible platform than typically BPM)

Thanks for the mention….We are working hard at workFile to implement the @WE concept and APG fully in workFile Vision 2.0…

I can confirm that we will be dropping the BPM term from our modules once we approach version 2.0. We may also drop the ECM term from workFile, though this is under discussion at the moment.

What we want to portray is that workFile Vision is something different from these individual technologies, or business perception of them. However, we still need to communicate that workFile delivers enterprise wide management of content – including that content posted on social forums. We need to ensure that we communicate that workFile delivers enterprise wide management of customers, conversations and customer engagement, and that workFile delivers enterprise wide management of a businesses processes – not just simple processes, but complex processes while delivering a unique level of adaptivity and agility…

Its a big plan and we will be working hard to implement it…

Thanks for the post.

Comment on Is the cloud better suited to individuals? by Andrew Smith @onedegree

Andrew Smith @onedegree — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 07:56:50 +0000

I hear what you are saying @beth. The problem I see for the cloud and businesses is that not everyting could be run in the cloud. For example many aspects of document management mean you need to know exactly where your files are being stored (which physical location). In addition, you need to ensure you have files that can not be changed, and traditionally this has been done through the use of WORM type drives – which to my knowledge are never available in the cloud. So with this one example in mind, it means that an organisation cannot miggrate this part of their IT to the cloud and so they need to maintain a certain number of servers, admin staff etc in house. Other solutions can then piggy back on this investment, so again, no point miggrating to the cloud for those either. This is just one example, and across the enterprise there are many solutions that dont really fit the cloud model, but there are just as many that do. I think the trick for business is understanding what best fits where and then ensuring that it maximises its potential savings.

As individuals we dont have these problems, its just then a matter of choice…Its a good thought provoking article this one…

First of all, great ideas here. I work for Qwest Business, so my perspective is always around businesses and how they’re looking at storing lots and lots of data in the cloud… typically they are driven to the cloud for two reasons: cost savings and security.

First is cost savings. To build and manage computing resources takes quite an investment. For many businesses, outsourcing that function to companies (like Qwest and many others) makes sense because they have already made that investment. The second concern is security. At many data centers (we call ours CyberCenters), there are guards, palm scanners, secure card-key access, 24/7 surveillance, as well as securities put in place for unexpected happenings. It would require a significant investment from an enterprise to handle all of that themselves.

Given the impact cloud computing can have on businesses, I can see why the cloud discussion is focused there at the moment but agree that the benefits extend to individuals in a very compelling way.

Good article…

I think the reason why the cloud is more business focused at the moment is because it is easier to make money from a business. What I mean is, due to Facebook, individuals think this sort of service and storage should be free to them. Google started all this off, free services via the web, simply because it can afford to with its advertising stream. This means to make real money from cloud computing, the cloud providers need to get companies paying for the service (even Google).

I do think though the real winners of cloud computing are individuals, and perhaps we will end up seeing the general public having to pay small annual fees for storage space and SaaS. I personally dont have a problem with this, especially when you think what Facebook and YouTube has to pay out in terms of storage costs etc…
