Taking infrastructure optimization and virtual world of computing to the next level.

Computing is no longer for the computers, more than half of the world Chips are used by the consumer electronics gear. Object-to-object connectivity has increased tremendously and will grow more.  Number of object and devices connected to internet will grow astronomically.  Primarily shrinking (nanotechnology), thinking (smart technology), tagging (Radio frequency), and feeling (sensors) will lead the IT World to the new world of innovation. The way we Manage information, work with the information, and delivering/capturing information is rapidly changing. We see financial sectors are transforming their information delivery model to a new dimension, competing to capture more customers by delivering superior quality customer satisfaction.  Enterprises are delivering information through multiple channels like Branch, Call center, Electronics, Self-service, and through multiple devices. Multichannel delivery solution module creating opportunity to transform existing architecture into SOA based Architecture and enjoying SOA’s benefit.
Enterprises are changing their work environment to become more productive, utilizing in-house skills and talents more effectively.  Delivery channel is now encompasses rich collaborative capabilities, flexible and open programmability platform, and integrated users’ experience. Most companies have at least 15 different collaborative capabilities. The scope of architecting delivery channel module has expanded and become more challenging. Responsibility of Enterprise Architect has increased they need to map delivery channel module appropriately with the TOGAF framework (assuming TOGAF as a standard frame work), need to enhance governance model, need to integrate multi channel delivery, need Information integration, and hardware/software solution evaluation and adoption.

Optimize delivery channel and delivering consistent information is the biggest challenge. Enterprise Information Integration and channel infrastructure integration will play a big role in optimization outside data center or infrastructure domain. If we take a look into capital market business model, they have typically sell side, buy side and trading exchange. We see primarily six patterns in all the three hubs. Access Integration, Application Integration, and Collaboration, so on and so forth. Optimizing each of these patterns can help to save tremendous amount of cost.  Contact me for detail about optimization and its implementation.
