Adding Value with Customized Services
|
Solutions for the challenges of both present and future – the Future Forum IT organized by the newspaper Handelsblatt delivered technological answers to the questions currently being asked by industry. During the conference, high-profile IT experts gave their vision of the future in terms of rapidly changing business models, frequently fluctuating business partners, and increasing competition. Professor Lutz Heuser, Head of SAP Research, outlined the prospects for Business Webs. These are adaptive and dynamic value networks formed through collaboration and will replace static supply chains by bringing together different partners to achieve particular goals. “With the Business Web, we are taking the community idea from Web 2.0 and applying it to the business world. Partners collaborate to achieve a common goal. The composition of the Business Web changes for each new task,” said Heuser.
To take advantage of the flexibility of Business Webs, companies will need quick and easy access to all the services required to create added value. Heuser calls the basis for this the “Internet of Services”. He said: “The range of services should meet demand and be easy to find on the Internet. Providers will have to ensure interoperability for external services, since only precise orchestration of Web services in real time creates added value for the consumers of these services.”
