Emerging Cloud Models: Community Cloud

Fri, 11 Apr 2014 18:18:24 +0000

There is no disputing that both Enterprises and Service Providers are embracing cloud. But now, there are some ‘blurred lines’ as enterprises and public and private institutions that share common requirements are banding together through a “Community Cloud” model. Aimed at delivering on-demand, non-competitive services, infrastructure and application software, this new and emerging IP operating model is based on a community cloud platform. The results are better operational efficiencies, significantly reduced costs, and a greater ability to innovate and generate new revenues for all community members involved.

In this session, Manjula Talreja, VP of Cisco Consulting Services Global Cloud Practice, will further define and discuss the emergence of these new Community Cloud models, pointing to examples of several global university groups who are successfully adopting community cloud initiatives. Talreja will also highlight some of the key operational, delivery, governance, revenue-sharing, ROI — among other — challenges inherent in this new cloud model.

Skyrocketing healthcare costs and the shift of focus to quality of care have given birth to new programs that complement the traditional medical insurance plans. Wellness program adoption is growing at an extremely fast pace, promoting and encouraging better health behavior through education and incentives to prevent higher costs down the road. Opportunities for business rules are everywhere: from identifying the at-risk population to recommending activities, as well as accounting for rewards. Onlife Health, the subsidiary of BCBS of Tennessee dedicated to total population management, developed a leading-edge infrastructure, which includes business rules management, to support the exponential growth of members signing up for Wellness Programs.
In this session, attendees will learn:
- The motivation for adopting business rules technology
