ICT Business ServicesNew cloud computing ideas in ICT Business Services offer enterprises and employees the opportunity to avoid installing software and licenses on every single hardware by loading one application only. This application allows users to log into a web-based service providing all necessary programs and storage for large amounts of data. There already are some cloud ICT Business Services used by enterprises, like CRM systems or storage solutions, which guarantee convenient handling, huge storage as well as data security and privacy. However, the potential for new application fields and innovative solutions is huge.

Smart Living Smart Living connects our living spaces to the Internet. The basic concept combines the vision of “intelligent” infrastructures in different areas of life with the information processing of modern cloud computing. Emerging smart technologies, innovative design solutions, and smart materials in a cloud computing environment, create smarter living spaces. Today´s society desires to improve the quality of life, to better perform their day to day activities, and to enjoy entertainment and recreational activities. Developing connected key technologies in the areas of healthcare, payment, consumer electronics, security, smart home and wellness are important to support such needs.

MobilityDynamic traffic environments, complexe logistic requirements, the safe transportation of individuals and goods – there are a lot of challenges and solutions might be the answers. Being stored offsite cloud computing services can improve processes, security, safety and service quality by providing relevant information at the right place and the right time. By connecting devices in the transportation, navigation or automotive industries directly to the cloud, companies can link multiple pieces of data for a more accurate and dynamic experience. Whether for aviation, navigation, public transportation, railway, car traffic, parking, for industries or consumers. Cloud solutions will be crucial for future mobility strategies.

Urban InfrastructureFor cities, it is increasingly important to balance economic, social, and environmental resources. In modern times, utilizing a cloud-based network offers the opportunity to manage urban infrastructure, provide a sustainable, and intelligent environment, stimulate economy, accelerate information delivery, and, as a result improve quality of life. Whether utilities, public services, smart cities, mobility, environment, living, governance, the urban infrastructure network is in transition. There is a lot of room for improvement. It is essential to have a reliable network and easy-to-integrate technologies, which are the right tools that will help to efficiently measure, control, and store resources.

Industry 4.0Industry 4.0″ depicts the fourth industrial revolution after the mechanization of water and steam power, the mass production with electric power, and the digital revolution. Now, technologies are embedded into materials, parts, and the machines building these – each product has its own digital information, and the production is further automated. Together with cloud computing, the possibilities for Industry 4.0 solutions are more than ever, the introduction of self-optimization, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and cognition to help people with this increasingly complex work, is facilitated. Do you have an innovative solution or idea that promote this revolution?
