About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

Visioning Beyond Data Portability

The visioning of data portability appears to be headed in the right direction.

Chris Saad is a co-founder and CEO of Faraday Media. Chris is also a co-founder and Chairperson of Dataportability.org.

On Sunday, May 18th Chris Saad blogged the following on his personal blogging site.

"I’ve heard a lot lately from executives at the highest levels at vendors that do not run large social networks. They might be more traditional media companies, telecommunication companies, device manufactures etc.

There are a few common and resounding themes from those conversations so I thought I would share them here ...."

If you go to Chris' post be sure and check out my comment (i.e., Comment #5).

Here's the link to Chris' entry, DataPortability beyond social networking.

Also, you might want to additionally check out the interview of Chris Saad in the Talking Tech blog of the Wall Street Journal on May 13th. That interview/blog is by Lee Gomes and entitled Easier Sharing is Goal of Portability Project.

    "One of the recent trends is for social networks like Facebook and MySpace to allow their users to share their lists of friends and similar information with other Web sites. It's called 'data portability, and its advocates hope that one day, you'll be able to share all your information, including your searches, with anyone else you want to."
