TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds Testing Clouds
Ewald Roodenrijs

 

TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds is an innovative book on Testing Clouds for the QA early adopter.

TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds explains that the cloud is a business model or platform on which testing must be carried out just like any other service. It enables convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

TeamParkTeamPark/From Crowd to Community
 

Employees of every company can deliver bigger achievements if organized in communities instead of only teams and if we let them collaborate in other ways than just purely functional. What is required to accomplish this is a social collaboration platform. A combination of software like MySpaces, Facebook or Digg. But also like Youtube or Wikipedia. This kind of social software is very effective in creating communities and utilizing crowd-power. This enables what we call the Intelligent Organization. To transform an organization into an Intelligent Organization is not just a matter of making available such a social platform. Many activities and a structured approach is necessary to get the platform accepted and to bring it alive.

The book TeamPark consists out of two parts that can be read as two separate books. The first part is called From Crowd to Community and describes in a sometimes hyperbolical but always fun to read way Sogeti s vision on Web 2.0 and inspires the reader to enter a new world where we all collaborate in new ways. The second part is called TeamPark Platform and Method . This part describes what Sogeti considers to be a true social platform and the method, the trajectory, organizations have to follow to utilize a successful social collaboration platform.

Collaboration in the cloud Collaboration in the Cloud - How cross-boundary collaboration is transforming business
 

Improving Collaboration between people and between organizations is no longer optional if you want to survive in today’s hyper connected business world. Speed of change, unpredictability and the increasingly social nature of the marketplace make collaboration instrumental to your company’s ability to differentiate. New ways of collaboration are starting to take place within your company, across value chains and in the individual social domain of your employees. At the same time, new architecture and delivery models are bringing many new collaborative tools within reach of every person in your organization, with or without your knowledge or control. On the technology side, a volatile mix of acronyms like SOA – Service Oriented Architecture, SaaS – Software as a Service and Web2.0 is brewing that is drastically changing our view on the role and value of Information Technology. If left to chance there is little hope for success: you need a strategy.

In this book we address the changes and opportunities that come with this new business world that is starting to show all around us. In it we talk about autonomous, bottom up organizations where innovation and collaboration are part of the culture. We discuss Value Chain 2.0, where it is about quickly establishing combinations that offer value to the marketplace. It is about crossing boundaries and taking the full benefits from Cloud Computing and anything available As A Service, from platform to complete business solution.

methemediaMe the Media – The Rise of the Conversation Society 
Past, Presence and future of the third media revolution

 

The trend sketched out in this book is that of information technology increasingly encroaching on our bodies. From somewhere in the basement, an underground facility that some readers might still remember, then by way of the desktop in the office, computer technology has emphatically entered our retinas and into our experience. The eyes of the world are directed at YouTube and other social media. They announce a new era in which everyone can, in principle, use simple technology to begin his or her own media company: ‘Me the Media.’

The writers aim is to open the readers’ eyes to the completely new world that is being created. A new society with a revolutionary character, where power shifts from institutions towards connected citizens. A world  full of new media technology: from simple blogs to location-bound multimedia, ultimately producing a situation in which science fiction seems to be on the verge of becoming reality.
