Some of the main players in the technological world, including Google , Intel, Dell, Citrix, Slack, Zoom, VMware, Okta, RingCentral and Box , gave birth to the Modern Computing Alliance , a consortium that aims to combine the expertise of the participants to redefine technological systems and their interoperability. Because, as explained by John Solomon, Vice President of Chrome OS , “experience is not defined only by technology and its components, but by how systems work together “.

The mission of the Modern Computing Alliance: Redefine the world of computers from silicon to the cloud

The aim of the Modern Computing Alliance consortium is to join forces to create new products and interoperable technologies, focused on four main areas: security and identity, performance, health and productivity . “ ‘ Modern Computing ‘ He can have different meanings for different people. For me, it means creating a safe and integrated experience on every device, wherever you are “, he explains Solomon . “ One of the ways to gain this kind of experience is to offer companies faster and more responsive progressive web applications (PWAs) than In addition to this, developers should be able to build only one version of the app, so that they can distribute products faster and more effectively “.

The Modern Computing Alliance is working on a roadmap that includes the acceleration of the path to the cloud, which began a few years ago and accelerated abruptly by the health emergency, which has prompted many companies to rethink their ways of working. As we said, there are 4 areas of action: in terms of p erformance , the goal is to create the same user experience, regardless of the device used, while as regards security and identity the consortium aims to guarantee greater security, also by improving solutions for data protection. Particular attention will be given to remote work, productivity and collaboration , so as to offer employees better tools and streamlined workflows and additional tools for IT teams to simplify administration. Finally, from the point of view of health , the consortium aims to improve IT systems so that doctors can focus on patients, not technologies, while pushing the concept of telemedicine.
