Jam and Rock Interactive Digital Media( IDM)
McLuhan in his definition of the media, described it as an “extensions of man”, for it fundamentally changes the way humans live and interact with each other. Interactive Digital Media (IDM) draws its origin from the fusion of telecommunications, traditional media and computing. However, its impact extends beyond the "converged" media to facilitate new communications, new "humanistic" ways to interface with machines and new methods to capture human understanding. It moves computing beyond automation and has the power to transform. It will change the way we entertain, learn, live and work. The internet for example is evolving rapidly past the industrial age of automation, to newer ways of semantic recognition that make use of user patterns, profiles and geography to construct intelligent assumptions of user preferences and intentions.
IDM is a key agenda of our national R&D landscape. A focus effort is underway to position Singapore as a leader in global IDM R&D and to build a vibrant IDM industry. The R&D effort encompasses social, technological, business model and creative aspects of the IDM. The presentation outlines the key initiatives of IDM action plan and summarises the infrastructures, resources and support that enterprises can leverage on for their own IDM plans. It elaborates on some of the ways in which enterprises can contribute and participate in the national effort. |

Building the Next Generation Communication Platform
(Case Study - Internal Cisco)
Businesses and organisations are clearly beginning to understand how converged networks provide additional benefits for capabilities such as VOIP but does further potential exist? What else can we do to converge technologies to yield business solutions that yield bottom-line impact? By examining Cisco’s own IT strategy, this case study explores how convergence Is being driven across and through IT solutions enabling the network to become the business platform itself. |

Sharing on a telco experience on Convergence
Raymond Remoquillo,
AVP Business Group, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT)
Convergence – the big buzz word on computing and communication.
Communication companies have always focused on providing the voice infrastructure to its customers – either through wired or wireless communication. With the growth of the mobile communication industry and its evolvement from just merely providing voice to providing different data offering over the wireless network, plus the increase in the demand for data over the communication infrastructure with the new usage model on IP, Communication companies have started to see the value in the convergence between Communication and Computing.
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co, or PLDT, is the biggest communication company, as well as the biggest corporation in the Philippines. PLDT has now converged it’s infrastructure with its wireless company, SMART Communication, to provide both wired and wireless data and voice communication to support the growing needs of the country.
As part of the growth, PLDT has worked with partners, both internal and external, to develop both front end and back end systems. The evolving competitive nature of the communication and computing industries as well as the sophistication needs of the customers have allowed PLDT to evolve from an infrastructure company to a solutions provider by offering a complete ecosystem solution to the customers.The IT group of PLDT, as well as its partners for software development, has allowed the company to offer applications and solutions to customers. The PLDT IT has not just focused on the development and automation of the process but as well offering unique applications that have now been recognized as the first world wide in the telecommunication industry. Our hardware partners have also started working us not on just providing servers and PCs for PLDT use but partner with us on a go to market strategy – the first offerings in the region.
This session will talk about the different projects that we have done in PLDT together with our internal and external partners on computing – offering a complete solution to our customers. |

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
A Convergence Story
Leonard Nee
Chief Information Officer
Corporate Information Systems
NCS
Like Dorothy Gale in the Wizard of Oz, we will start our journey of convergence following the Yellow Brick Road of Internet Protocol (IP). The journey holds three challenges for CIOs:
a. Developing an IT Enterprise Architecture that can support business requirements made viable by the convergence
b. Delivering IT systems that take advantage of the flat world made feasible by the convergence
c. Transforming the role of the CIO with the emerging work system made possible by the convergence
To meet these challenges, we look for inspiration from Dorothy’s companions:
a. From the Cowardly Lion, we learn to draw courage to be prescriptive in the implementation of the Enterprise Architecture
b. From the Tin Woodman, we learn to listen to our hearts as we balance outsourcing and right-sizing of our internal IT shops
c.
From the Scarecrow, we learn that, given a chance, the CIO experience can prepare us to take on other senior executive positions
d.
From Toto the dog, we learn that no team member is too small to make a big difference
Along the way, we also bump into various showy vendors like the Wizard of Oz who try to sell us snake oil that claim to solve our challenges. But in the end, we learn, like Dorothy, that if we can hold on firmly to our beliefs and trust ourselves and our companions, our journey along the Yellow Brick Road of IP will bring our IT home safely. |
