Solutions for Enterprise IT
The I.T. world is changing as Web 2.0, SOA, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
are evolving as the new standard for how enterprises deliver data,
applications and services. The benefits of Software as a Service (SaaS) are obvious: reusing services, reducing hardware, storage,
software and IT staffing requirements, allowing for quicker and easier
upgrades. With the emergence of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
and standards-based Web services, all of the same principles apply to the
concept of "Data-as-a-Service" (DaaS).
Data-as-a-Service allows for less reliance on database software, fewer data storage
requirements, less data redundancy, more accurate data, fewer DBA's, zero data
maintenance requirements and it provides a greater stream of easily integrated
data points to drive business intelligence applications. As Web2.0 organizations begin to adopt a DaaS model, more creative and
innovative applications will be brought to market. There will begin to be an
overlap with some of the enterprise notions of Web 2.0 where the Internet
itself can become the ultimate SOA, delivering data when and where it is needed
to and from multiple data providers and consumers.
