(PRWEB) January 23, 2003
January 20, 2003 – There’s a potentially earthshaking shift occurring in the way software is sold and deployed but even the most sophisticated computer users would be hard-pressed to describe the term “Net Native”-although many already engage the type of online software the term describes.
The common denominator is of course the Internet. When you turn on your computer and check into your customized My.Yahoo.com home page and look at a customized news portal, receive e-mail and check an online calendar and address book, that’s Net Native. The only software required to access the my.yahoo page is a Web browser and it doesn’t matter whether it sits on top of Windows, Mac OS, Linux or any other operating system. It’s all Net Native. The actual software that powers these applications is situated on servers that could be anywhere in the world; Yahoo upgrades and maintains it at all times.
Even though Net Native is a new concept, the larger companies are backing it strongly, with Microsoft at the lead with its .Net technology.
“Net-native software is designed from inception to live in the Internet and to be remotely accessed across the Internet,” explained Douglas Kerwin, founder and CEO of the Princeton, NJ Metaverse Corporation, leading provider of Net Native content management software for the business. “It’s a many to one relationship-many clients access the same application.”
This is of course in contrast to consumers purchasing a box of software and bringing it home to install and later to upgrade to a newer version, or install a patch or fix a bug. At the business level, the potential shift is even more profound.
When a business maintains a Web site, its software requires even more care. A great deal of time and effort and manpower is directed toward maintaining and updating enterprise- level software with content management software. In the traditional model, great deal of consulting time is required to launch and support this software because customization is inevitable.
Kerwin predicts that these days are soon over. “A new software environment is at hand,” he stated. Metaverse enjoys a first mover advantage for the purely net-native option and is an early follower of the new trend to shift from providing licensed packaged software to supplying as a service over the Web. The Metaverse Content Server allows users to place their content on Web sites without the use of a technical resource. Using Microsoft Word or a similar product, they now have a mechanism to get their content to the Web site without the assistance of a technical resource.
“Net native software is a low risk, low investment, high return software alternative,” added Kerwin. “Our content management system comes with a monthly or annual subscription fee. We host and maintain our own software so clients can quickly deploy an enterprise-class solution cost effectively, without the trouble or cost of continued maintenance. We think that’s the way it should be. It contains all the benefits and none of the headaches of Content Management software. It carries with it the opportunity to concentrate on the return on investment that it delivers when combined with workflow and the tuning of business processes.”
“It is the logical extension of the Internet and the history of software development,” Kerwin says. “When browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer functioned across all platforms, it was a breakthrough that has led to this revolution in the making today.”
As Kerwin sees it, Webmasters who must manage large dynamic websites, changing content on behalf of an enterprise, will soon become a quaint notion of the past, with their jobs will converting to something that will aid work flow, functionality or even esthetics. Fewer will also be required, another cost savings, Kerwin said. Content owners will also be engaged in the process from the creation to the publishing of traditional and web documents.
“By ending the need for Webmasters to manage huge flows of rich media, graphical, text and numerical information or make tiny changes in prices or replace sections of content, they can be freed to work in new ways that are just emerging make the site better, make it look better or offer better services,” added Kerwin. “New flows of large data will emerge that add value for customer and will lead to the creation of new information products and services.”
Kerwin sees the new Webmaster as performing a kind of “curatorial” function in which content, curation and technical consulting could help customers focus on creating new products and services and tuning business processes. This is especially true of high-content environments. “When terabytes of data can flow through a website on the fly you are in a new place,” said Kerwin.
“A new focus will emerge,” Kerwin added. “We see a new esthetic emerging in these web environments.” To evangelize the potential of this new esthetic vision, his company even hosts an art gallery project that demonstrates the possibilities of moving creatively in new as yet to be fully defined directions. “There is room for pioneers,” Kerwin said. “Our business development process is looking for such innovators. Web developers and developers using or interested in using Microsoft .NET and Web Services in dramatically new ways. We know Microsoft is watching for these new leaders to emerge as art and industry work together.”
Kerwin believes that virtually all enterprise software will someday be Net Native and that significant cost savings will result. “When software is freed from its box and the need for heavy consulting support–that is good for the client and good for the industry, there is no longer a need for heavy consulting support. The software company’s attention is directed toward providing the most value to customers, not performing installations all over the country. The cost savings is dramatic and the opportunity to innovate rises by a quantum leap.”
“Providing technology as a service focuses on the benefits to the business,” Kerwin also commented. “Senior managers in the end do not really care about databases and application servers apart from the benefit they can bring their businesses. When software becomes a subscription service, you pay for the value you receive from the software and the cost and maintenance of the infrastructure. That becomes the responsibility of the vendor.”
Kerwin advises companies thinking of shifting to the new paradigm to consider the following in analyzing future software needs:

I wanted to put you a very small remark to thank you once again with the incredible things you’ve provided on this site. It was quite strangely open-handed of people like you to allow extensively all that a few people could possibly have advertised as an e-book in order to make some bucks on their own, especially given that you could have tried it in the event you considered necessary. Those tips also served to provide a good way to recognize that other people online have the same desire the same as my own to know more with reference to this issue. I am sure there are some more enjoyable sessions up front for folks who start reading your blog.

j3mqH6 Gripping! I would like to listen to the experts` views on the subject!!….
The imminence of a ratings decision by S&P may explain why France has sought to deflect attention by lashing out against Britain, claiming the UK’s financial position is weaker than its own. Last week the Bank of France suggested the credit rating agencies train their fire on London, even though there seems no imminent danger of Britain losing its premier rating.
First, reading this was like reading a child’s story. Secondly, Bethesda didn’t DEVELOP Fallout: New Vegas. And it’s fairly obvious they didn’t because it’s better than Fallout 3. I’ve played Skyrim and put over 75 hours into it. It’s a buggy, broken and unfinished garbage. Nobody is crying except for you. Sorry I upset your feelings over Skyrim. ? Calm down, learn some grammar and learn not to be a fanboy.

Throughout this grand scheme of things you get an A+ just for effort. Exactly where you actually misplaced me personally ended up being on your details. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you just what exactly did deliver the results. The article (parts of it) is definitely extremely engaging and that is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can notice the leaps in logic you make, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to unite your points which help to make your final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but hope in the future you actually connect the dots better.

I’ve been in the same situation before. It’s not an easy an answer as you thought it could be, it is something that you will have to sit down and work out for yourself over time.
This made me laugh, thankyou for that! Nowaday’s we all require a good laugh once in a while!
