Mr. Yeung’s topic is “Putting B2B e-Commerce onto the
Cloud”. After briefing about the background of OpenText
including the acquisition of GXS recently, he explained
how e-Commerce could leverage the Cloud technology
for the Business-to-Business transaction. And he further
elaborated the main benefits of integrating an ERP and
B2B system is to establish what can best be described
as a firewall around a company’s ERP system. The aim
of this is to protect the ERP system and ensure that
incorrect data does not enter the ERP environment,
integrating to a B2B system can provide a higher level of
security around your ERP applications and downstream
business processes.
Representing CISCO,Mr.Mok–another platinum sponsor
shared the topic “CISCO InterCloud” – the concept
for enterprise customers. Nowadays, the “Intercloud”
concept would allow the CSPs connect each other
through open APIs to provide better cloud resources
availability. Whether the use of Hybrid Cloud is user
friendly or not may affect the choices of enterprise to
use. Consistent policy will be applied across all different
types of cloud resources no matter it is private, public
or hybrid. By the end of 2020, there would be more than
50billion intelligent things will be connected through
the Internet of Things “IoT” initiative. The InterCloud
Global Marketplace concept will allow enterprises
leveraging this new business model for better cloud
technology uses.Everyone will gain benefits through this
Ecosystem and may improve a better user experience
when deploying cloud.
Mr. Andy Bien shared the Cloud adoption journey for
Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA). Due to the rapid
growth of the Hong Kong International Airport, Cloud
technology may be one of the options to help solving ad
hoc resources capacity.There are five key considerations:
Efficiency, Intelligence, Mobility, Collaboration and
Expansion when AA IT considers the technology
adoption. TOC, Speed of Deployment and Security Policy
also need to be considered before deployment. Both
Private and Public Clouds also would be considered, and
different types of applications also would be put on the
public cloud with compliance of security policy.
Dr. David Chung has another understanding on the
forum theme: Value Creation & Business Transformation
is equivalent to Smartcomputing to a certain extent. He
gave an illustration: In one minute, how many photos
could be uploaded, or how many facebook, linkedin
accounts could be opened? And how many videos could
be uploaded and shared in the internet? Wearable IT,
Open data movement are hot technology nowadays. BI
and data-warehousing are the old terms of technology,
but nowadays, the data may need to be correlated and
made to be more intelligent as to provide a better
customer insight, running as Big-Data, Data-analytics
platforms to provide better result for accurate decision,
using Hadoop on the Cloud.
楊先生演講的主題為「把B2B電子商務放上雲端」。
簡單介紹過OpenText的背景包括其最近對GXS作出的
收購後，他解釋電子商務如何可善用雲端技術作企業
對企業間交易。他進一步詳述把企業資源計劃和企業
對企業系統整合的最大優點，是建立一個應描述為圍
繞公司的企業資源計劃系統的防火牆。其目的為保護
企業資源計劃系統，確保錯誤的數據不會進入企業資
源計劃的環境中，而整合到企業對企業系統可為企業
資源計劃應用和下游商業程序提供更高程度的保安。
莫先生代表另一白金贊助機構思科，他分享的題
目為「CISCO InterCloud」- 企業客戶的概念。現
時，InterCloud概念可容許雲端服務供應商透過開放的
應用程序接口提供更佳的雲端資源。混合雲端技術是
否人性化可能影響企業選擇應用與否，無論是私有、
公用和混合類型的所有不同的雲端資源，都將應用一
致的政策。到2020年末，將會有超過500億智能物透
過物聯網舉措連結起來。InterCloud全球市場概念將會
容許企業通過新商業模式善用雲端技術。各方面均可
透過此生態系統獲益，亦可使用家得到最佳的雲端應
用體驗。
卞家振先生分享了香港機場管理局（AA）採用雲端技
術的旅程。由於機場管理局增長迅速，雲端技術可成
為解決臨時資源容量問題的選擇之一。AA IT考慮技術
採用時有五個重要的考慮﹕「效率」、「智能」、「
動性」、「協作」和「擴展」。在實施之前，亦須考
慮到TOC、配置速度和保安政策。私有和公用雲端技
術均須考慮，而公用雲亦將採取不同類型的應用，以
符合保安政策。
鍾偉強博士對論壇的主題有另一番見解﹕價值創造及
業務轉型某程度上等同於智能運算。他舉出一個例
子﹕一分鐘內可上載多少張照片？或者可開設多少個
Facebook和Linkerin帳戶？可以上載和分享多少段影片
到互聯網上？可穿戴的資訊科技設備和開放數據運動
是現時炙手可熱的技術。商務智能和資料倉儲已是舊
的技術用語，但現在數據可能須互相連繫及更為智能
化，以提供最佳的客戶反饋、大數據操作和數據分析
平台，得出最佳的結果，作出準確的判斷，並於雲端
應用Hadoop等。
