Are there Citizen Developers in your Cloud?

They are the amongst the most productive and self-reliant members of your staff, user of your IT systems who used to be called "power users" but now they're being given the trendy new appellation of "citizen developers." Are they going to be key players in your move to Cloud computing?

There are various reasons for moving your applications to the Cloud. The ones most commonly mentioned are cost savings (potentially considerable) and the ability to react quickly to workload changes (scale-out and elasticity).

Not so often discussed is the new ability for your people to more rapidly develop and deploy new Cloud-based applications that will differentiate your organisation and give it a business advantage. Here's where your Citizen Developers can play a big role in your organisation's success.

You can download an interesting survey report by TrackVia that elaborates on the concept of the Citizen Developer, explaining for example how they tend to be younger.

The doctor will see you now, virtually

Patients are asked to complete a questionnaire on the Doctus web site (www.doctus.com.au). This is reviewed by Doctus' Australian registered doctors. If a prescription is recommended medication can be delivered or the patient can opt to receive a paper prescription in the mail and pick up the medication from a pharmacy.

Diagnoses are partly automated. Doctus says it uses computer-assisted diagnosis to "create efficiency in determining cause and treatment for patients, directly linking them with a range of pharmaceutical products that aren't considered dangerous."

Doctus says it will never prescribe medications like narcotics (as in morphine and other derivatives) or benzodiazepines (Valium).

Doctus' founders are GP Dr Rodney Beckwith and his daughter, Sarah Beckwith. According to Dr Beckwith, "Doctus saves our patients money – no co-payment, no gap, no petrol, no parking costs, and no time off work. At the same time, every Doctus consultation saves the healthcare system money because we are not Medicare eligible."

Beckwith says that Doctus is not designed to completely eliminate the traditional GP visit. "We are traditional GPs ourselves and we see patients every day in normal practice settings. If you need a top-up of an uncomplicated medication you can use the Doctus service to tide you over."

Dr Beckwith says Doctus is suitable for 'simple medical conditions' such as contraception, digestion, erectile dysfunction, gout, STDs-chlamydia, prostate, asthma and emphysema, blood pressure, osteoporosis and cholesterol, but is not suitable for people with complex illnesses like diabetes, chronic pain, or severe psychiatric conditions like bipolar disease.

He suggests that, in some aspects, other than simply lower cost and convenience, the service may be superior to face-to-face consultation. "Our patients really appreciate the discretion of the Doctus service. Embarrassment can prevent people from seeking medical treatment. If you don't want to speak to someone face-to-face, Doctus provides a confidential and secure online service including discreet packaging for product delivery."‍ 

Handy Backup Disaster Recovery – Smaller, Faster and Fail-Safe Version 1.5 with GPT Support Releasedc

One of most important situations when the backup turns to the bare necessity is a risk of disaster when all data collected by previous work of a computer unit may be somehow lost under major circumstances.
