To mature the Web Farming
discipline, it is necessary to move into building practical
systems that clearly deliver business value. To accomplish the
building of WF systems, four groups must collaborate to blend
their expertise and resources:
- Corporate
clients. If your company is willing to invest
in the new technology of Web Farming. First, participate in
the educational offerings mentioned above. Through these
programs, you can gain the critical insights on implementing
WF systems successful - the first time. Second, apply for the
Getting Started Now program to further
assist your company in rapidly assessing and planning for a WF
system.
- Technology
Providers. If you have a product or service
that is required for WF systems, apply for the Becoming
WF Friendly program to tailor your offerings for
WF clients.
- Content
Providers. If you have specialized content for
WF systems, also apply for the Becoming WF Friendly
program
- System
Integrators. If you have an established
practice in Data Warehousing or Business Intelligence, apply
for the Realizing the WF Potential
program
For web farming to be
successful, three groups must interact. First are the client
companies who have the potential of both threats and
opportunities for applying web farming to their business. Second
are the technology vendors who have key products
for knowledge management, text analysis, information
visualization, and other functions. Third are the content
vendors have information of high quality on specific
business issues.
WFC will facilitate the
interaction of these three groups through its educational
offerings, prototyping lab, and system integration projects. |
