Founded in 1997, IBM's jStart™ team is IBM's primary client engagement group for emerging internet technologies. The team is part of IBM Software Solutions Group, and is a component of the Emerging Technologies team. jStart is responsible for creating prototypes and solutions for companies around the world, and has frequently launched the first implementations of technologies for introduction into the enterprise.〔("The History of jStart" ), ''IBM's jStart Website: History'', accessed February 1, 2011.〕 ==History of jStart== jStart was originally founded as a vehicle to engage and validate Java technology with customers/clients. In 1999 it broadened its mission to covering the much wider concept of “emerging internet technologies”. Historical Timeline of technologies jStart has been involved in: * 1997: Java - promoted and championed Java to large enterprise environments * 1999: Beyond Java - evolved from that evangelism mission to introduce new and emerging internet techs into IBM and to IBM's customers/clients by validating emerging technologies with a client engagement model. * 2001: S.O.A., XML * 2004: Web Services * 2006: Web 2.0 in the Enterprise ("Web 2.0 Goes to Work") * 2007: RIA (Rich Internet Applications) * 2009: Mashup Technologies * 2010: Big Data/Very large data analytics, cross-platform mobile development * 2011: Watson commercialization, DeepQA, machine learning * 2012: Social Analytics, big data analytics applied to social data * 2013: (IBM BlueMix ), a next-gen XaaS cloud platform What differentiates the team from other IBM groups is how jStart validates emerging technologies: it is the primary engagement vehicle for IBM to validate emerging technologies while those technologies are in their emergent stage for enterprise business environments. Because of this, jStart was the first to introduce these technologies into large Fortune 500 IT infrastructures as well as smaller SMB environments by addressing existing business needs (rather than theoretical R&D business scenarios). Currently, the team is working to commercialize IBM's Watson system, and is a proponent of cloud offerings. The team is also investigating the role sophisticated data analytic technologies leveraging web-based platforms as enterprise solutions, including the use of (Hadoop ) and text-analytic solutions such as IBM's (BigSheets ) system (developed by IBM's Emerging Technologies Research team).〔("jStart On the Horizon" ), ''IBM's jStart Website: On the Horizon technologies'', accessed July 13, 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IBM jStart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
