<p><strong>(German) Information about the German version of the SoMoLo dossier:</strong></p>
<p>Mit SoMoLo (der Kombination aus Social, Mobile, Local) kommt auf dem Nährboden der Megatrends Cloud Computing, mobiles Internet und Social Media der nächste große Hype auf uns zu. Hierzu ist nun in der Reihe Skilltower Institute Dossier der Titel: &#8220;SoMoLo &#8211; Social Mobile Local &#8211; Der neue Big Data Milliardenmarkt&#8221; im Buchhandel und als eBook erschienen. Spätestens mit der Akquisition von Instagram durch Facebook für eine Millarde US$ ist klar, dass es sich um einen weltweiten transformativen Millarden-Markt handelt.</p>
<p>Themen wie Big Data kombiniert mit intelligenten Varianten dezentraler Systemautonomie kommen hierbei eine Schlüsselrolle zu. SoMoLo dreht sich um mehr, als nur darum, Geld mit Konsumenten zu verdienen. Es kann unser modernes Agieren vollständig verändern, so wie Mobiltelefone dies in den 1990ern und das Internet in den 2000ern getan haben.</p>
<p><strong>Das Dossier beleuchtet:</strong><br />
- gesellschaftliche SoMoLo Nutzungsmodelle,<br />
- SoMoLo Geschäftsmodelle,<br />
- Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen für SoMoLo Dienste,<br />
- SoMoLo IT Architectures. <span id="more-200"></span></p>
<p><strong>Für dieses Dossier haben folgende Autoren ihre Expertise beigesteuert:</strong><br />
- Social Media Guru Ossi Urchs,<br />
- Future Manager Bernhard Steimel,<br />
- Rechtsanwalt für IT Recht Jörg-Alexander Paul,<br />
- IT Journalist Alexander Scholz,<br />
- IT Avantgardist Jörg Osarek,<br />
- Science Fiction Autor Chuck Ian Gordon.</p>
<p>Das Buch ist sowohl als eBook für Amazon Kindle erschienen und als gedruckte Ausgabe im Buchhandel erhältlich. Weitere Informationen gibt es unter: http://www.skilltower.de/somolo/<br />

<p lang="zxx">Am 25.09.2012 hatten Andreas Wolske, Geschäftsführer der <a name="managedhosting.de GmbH" href="http://www.managedhosting.de/" target="_blank"></a>Managdhosting.de GmbH und ich als Gesellschafter von <a name="its-people Unternehmerverbund" href="http://www.its-people.de/" target="_blank"></a>its-people und Inhaber des <a name="Skilltower Institute Website" href="http://www.skilltower.com/" target="_blank"></a>Skilltower Institute die Ehre, auf dem <a name="heise Events im Internet" href="http://www.heise.de/events/" target="_blank"></a>heise Event &#8220;Cloud im Business Einsatz&#8221; die Keynote zu geben. Über die Cloud ist schon so viel geschrieben, referiert und Blödsinn verbreitet worden. Daher haben wir überlegt, was erzeugt heute für die Zuhörer noch einen Nutzen?</p>
<p lang="zxx">Wir entschieden uns für den Titel: &#8220;Der Cloud Computing Goldrausch im 21. Jahrhundert – wie Sie Bauernfängerei von nachhaltigen Chancen für Ihre Geschäftsentwicklung unterscheiden.&#8221;</p>
<p lang="zxx">Neben dem, was die Zuhörer mitgenommen haben, möchte ich auch das mit Ihnen teilen, was wir dabei gelernt haben.<span id="more-166"></span></p>
<p lang="zxx">Kernpunkte unseres Vortrags waren:</p>
<p lang="zxx"><strong>IT-Strategie früher und heute:</strong> Die alten Tugenden bei IT-Projekten sind auch für Cloud Projekte erforderlich: Das schnelle und agile Umsetzen von Marktanforderungen in IT, einen pragmatischen Mittelweg zwischen fehlender und überperfekter Dokumentation und Entwicklungsprozessen in getrennten Umgebungen (Entwicklung, Test, Produktion) und ausreichend Redundanz in Personal und Technologie. Hinzu kommt für die Cloud aufgrund gestiegener Komplexität die Erfordernis weitergehender Professionalisierung und Spezialisierung – im Haus oder outgesourct durch Cloud Dienstleister.</p>
<p lang="zxx"><strong>Bauernfänger</strong> erkennt man häufig an Pauschalangeboten und im Kleingedruckten. Echte Entwicklungschancen passen sich dem Geschäft an und nicht umgekehrt.</p>
<p lang="zxx"><strong>Cloud Erfolgsfaktoren </strong>sind zum einen Macht-Symmetrie: kleine Unternehmen arbeiten gut mit kleinen zusammen, große mit großen. Armdrücken mit King Kong hingegen ist selten erfolgversprechend. Zum anderen ist das Kleeblatt für Änderungsprojekte zu beachten: Juristische Faktoren, technologische Faktoren, die Menschen und der Business Case müssen gleichermaßen vernetzt berücksichtigt werden. Gerade bei der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten im Cloud Umfeld ist das Hinzuziehen spezialisierter Juristen Pflicht geworden.</p>
<p lang="zxx"><strong>Was haben wir bei dem Event gelernt?</strong></p>
<p lang="zxx">Die Vorträge und die Diskussion mit Teilnehmern waren sehr aufschlussreich. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse waren:</p>
<p lang="zxx"><strong>Der Peak des Cloud Hype ist überschritten</strong> (laut Gartner Hype Cycle bewegt sich Cloud Computing deutlich in Richtung des Tals der Desillusionierung).</p>
<p lang="zxx">In der ernüchternden Realität angekommen, kann und muss man jetzt daran gehen, <strong>seine Cloud Projekte </strong><strong>zu professionalisieren </strong><strong>und die tatsächlich vorhandenen Mehrwerte zu heben</strong> – auch, wenn es etwas schwerer wird, als in der Champagnerlaune des Hypes vermutet.</p>
<p lang="zxx">Ich bin viel auf Veranstaltungen auch als Referent unterwegs. <strong>Dieses </strong><strong>Event </strong><strong>von heise glänzte durch </strong><strong>überdurchschnittliche Qualität.</strong> Der Schwerpunkt lag tatsächlich auf dem Vermitteln von Inhalten und nicht auf dem Verkauf der Produkte oder Leistungen der Refenten, wobei das am Rande auch geschah. Es ist also auch 2012 möglich, inhaltlich gute Events zu organisieren – der Name heise hilft sicherlich zum einen. Der Veranstalter arbeitet allerdings auch intensiv daran, diesen Anspruch aufrecht zu erhalten. Mein Fazit an heise Events: weiter so.</p>
<p lang="zxx">Der Vortrag ist auf Deutsch und Englisch kostenlos zum Download verfügbar:</p>

<p>Skilltower Institute will inform about the progress of the network building phase on its website.</p>
<p>* The term &#8220;IT Avantgarde Network&#8221; describes pretty well the character of the Skilltower Institute networks. As of 20th of March 2012 google.com / google.de states: No results found for <strong>&#8220;information technology avantgarde network&#8221;</strong>. as well as: No results found for <strong>&#8220;it avantgarde network&#8221;</strong>. Therefore it is logical that we are building the world&#8217;s first IT avantgarde network and as such it is legitimate to call it the Number One IT avantgarde network.</p>

What will be the next (or the next but one) megatrend? What challenges will it solve what new challenges will it bring with itself?<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p>Due to ever rising and speeding up complexity many initiatives formed to develop self maintaining, self optimizing IT architectures whether we want to call them autonomic computing (IBM since 2001) or organic computing (priority program of the German research foundation 2006-2011). There will be a complex evolutionary self developing IT world next to our classical way too complex IT legacy systems.</p>
<p>With his presentation &#8220;The Megatrend after cloud computing &#8211; how to survive the organic computing age&#8221; Joerg Osarek, founder of the Skilltower Institute addresses this rising new megatrend and gives insights in our survival strategy for an IT and business world with significantly different rules.</p>
<p>Joerg Osarek was speaking at the DOAG Conference on November 15th 2011 &#8211; the largest european Oracle conference in Nuremberg, Germany ( <a title="visit doag.org website" href="http://www.doag.org" target="_blank">http://www.doag.org</a> )</p>
<p>as well as at the</p>
<p>CloudConf on November 22nd 2011 in Munich, Germany ( <a title="visit the CloudConf website" href="http://www.cloudconf.de/" target="_blank">http://www.cloudconf.de/</a> )</p>
<p>The presentation held is available for free from <a title="presentation at slideshare.net" href="http://www.slideshare.net/josarek/the-megatrend-after-cloud-computing" target="_blank">http://www.slideshare.net/josarek/the-megatrend-after-cloud-computing</a></p>
