Shifting to SMAC-based practices
Standing for “Social – Mobile – Analytics – Cloud”, the new SMAC context provides an even greater digital technology leverage that goes along with online customers’s growing expectations: price competitiveness, shorter delivery time, multiple ordering places and devices, etc.
In the e-business world, SMAC requirements can be considered as follows:
-
Social: facilitate communication between clients and information sharing on social media
-
Mobile: the place, time, and terminal used should have no impact on service quality
-
Analytics: the data collected should help understand clients/visitors’ practices and obtain added value in real-time.
-
Cloud: security and high performance must be enabled by robust, flexible solutions
