Social, Mobility , Analytics, Cloud ( SMAC) adoption by Indian SME’s

 

As a Technology Consultant and Cloud Evangelist, I work extensively with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). My definition of an SME is a company with 10 to 500 users — a user being someone who employs IT. In my opinion, Indians SMEs differ from Enterprise Customers in their approach to using technology. Indian SMEs rely heavily on their IT partners for technology adoption, unlike Enterprise Customers where CIO-led IT teams manage it.

I have recently authored an article which has appeared in “CIO Research Centre” , an online Publication for Indian CIO’s where I have laid down my thoughts on how an Indian Small and Mid sized company can adopt latest IT Technologies .

Yammer … The Enterprise Social Platform

 

The usage of Social Media has in recent years skyrocketed. Almost everyone is familiar with Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Tools like Facebook make it very easy for people to collaborate with features  like tagging, sharing information, making comments, newsfeed etc. One thought which comes in mind is that would it not be great to use such tool in Business for collaboration? But many Businesses are not willing to do so because of following issues:

1) Privacy concerns of Social Media

2) Workers could easily get distracted and spend time on personal non work stuff

Yammer is a perfect Solution in this scenario. It is a Facebook like Social Network but is restricted to the Company and external stake holders like Suppliers, Consultants, etc.

It is a part of Office 365 , the Cloud Productivity Platform from Microsoft.
