Cebit09 – The Cloud & Social Networking
Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:02The second day of cebit was bigger than the first. Webciety is working really well and the crowds were up. The media centre is right behind Webceiety and this proved fruitful again providing an interview with Ryan Egan who runs Tech Stream on ABC Radio. http://blogs.radioaustralia.net.au/techstream/ The interview was about cloud computing, webciety and how Devnet helps companies move to Cloud based Google Apps.
Webciety focused on Social Networking and there was an excellent talk from Iggy Pintado on social networking and how it is being used by business, government and celebrities.
The Devnet stand spoke to a number current users and potential users of Google Apps. There are a number of Google and Devnet fans out there which is great. We find that Google users are very passionate, similar to Apple users. They love the product and generally very loyal supporters.
ZDNet.com.au hosted the third annual Emerging Technology Innovation Awards at Webciety CeBIT 2009. With a ceremony held on the show floor there lots of great applications and the winner was gStepOne.
gStepOne combines your expertise with your organisation’s business processes to create interactive wizards tailored to your needs.
With gGtepOne, you can map your organisational procedures the way YOU want them done, link them to relevant knowledge in websites, documents, videos, pictures and maps, and Google Apps to create task wizards in an instant.
gStepOne wizards will support your staff and customers by explaining each procedural step, activating the necessary tools at step-level, and tracking a task as it progresses. Users immediately take on the skills and knowledge needed to comply with your business processes.
Another great innovation that works with the Google Apps platform. We are seeing more and more great 3rd party applications being built around Google Apps.
The day ended well with fun to be had at the ICT Celebration Party. Congratulations the the Webciety winners in Mark Kofhal and Geoff McQueen
Looking forward to Day 3.
