The state-of-the-art of Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud Computing an empirical analysis

Recent years have seen explosive emergence of the SMAC era, which is a combination of Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud Computing. The uses of Social networking are growing rapidly to collaborate at all levels of the extended enterprise. Employees are using Mobility to enhance the productivity. Apart from this people started to use Analytics based on big data and Cloud Computing which provides different services like Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This abundance of services help businesses to develop approximate solutions that ultimately leads to leverage public IT infrastructure, minimizing cost of ownership and minimizing time. The deployment of SMAC in IT sector not only enhances the decision making capability but also allows them to rollout new unchecked business models and increase their reach to customers. Enterprises need to fully understand the capability and utilization of this emerging trend in order to make sense of their intended dominance in the next few years ahead.
