2. What CeBIT is?
CeBIT is the world's largest international Computer Expo and Trade
Fair
This fair is held at the world’s largest fairground in Hannover, Germany.
On an average there are 850,000 visitors in this event every year.
The fair showcases digital IT and Telecommunications solutions for
home and work environment both.
CeBIT focuses on a theme related to Trade and Business every year. In
2011, the theme was Cloud Technology. In the year 2012, the theme
was Managing Trust. And this year, Shareconomy is the theme.
3. "Shareconomy" describes the societal shift from owning to sharing.
According to Pörschmann, this is evident in several dimensions: "First,
Shareconomy is profoundly influencing enterprise processes, because
Social Media tools will become more and more popular. Second, the
Internet is the place for teamwork, both in and outside the company.
Partners, consultants, suppliers and customers will be more closely
integrated as part of a networked process. The borders separating
companies and organizations will become ever more transparent.
Therefore, employees and managers must rethink and be prepared to
share know-how, contacts and assets.“
Cloud-based applications are clearly on the rise, and have now earned user
trust. As the world's most important event for the digital economy,
CeBIT will spotlight this sweeping trend that emphasizes sharing
knowledge, resources and experience to create new forms of
collaboration.
A multistage screening process involving top executives from leading high-
tech companies and user industries, international research institutes, and
thousands of fans at the CeBIT Facebook fan page resulted in
Shareconomy being selected for the CeBIT 2013 keynote theme.
