SaaS eesti keeles

-

Minu mõeldud termin Netiteenused äratas natuke diskussiooni ühe varasema postituse kommentaarides. Kas kellelgi on äkki hea eestindus välja pakkuda? Tegelikult ei ole ka SaaS (Software as a Service) hea termin. Phil Wainewright, üks olulisemaid SaaS-i teemalisi kirjutajaid arvab, et Software as a Service asemel oleks parem termin "Webware". Ma nõustun temaga - "Tarkvara nagu teenus" või "Tarkvara renditeenusena" nagu ei anna päris hästi asja olemust edasi. Tarkvara nagu teenus on ju ka PC-sse installeeritud Office, mida litsentsitakse rendimudeliga ja mille vigade korral saad teenusepakkujalt abi.

Webware ehk otsetõlkes veebitoode või netitoode või netiteenus annab minu arust paremini asja iseloomu edasi. Aga ega ma ei tea ka, filoloogiat pole kunagi ma õppinud ja eesti keele eest sain koolis ka päris palju halbu hindeid.

Paku kommentaaris enda tõlge!

(Minu arust on hästi tähtis mõelda uutele tehnoloogilistele ja ärilistele nähtustele ruttu omakeelsed terminid välja. Muidu on pärast väga raske kõnepruugis asendada "kopi-pasteet"-i "kopeeri ja kleebi"-ga.)

    Kiirelt ütlen, et webware ja sõna veeb sisaldav on paha-paha lähenemine. Juba täna, üha rohkem ka tulevikus on SaaS lisaks veebile ka mobiilis, erinevates desktop klientides Airis/Flexis jne ja veebibrauser on nende kõrval vaid üks alternatiiv.

    Soomes kasutatakse näiteks ohjelmistovuokraus ja sovellusvuokraus. Ma arvan, et rent on see tähtsaim märksõna, aga ehk kellelgi on paremaid mõtteid.

    Kas veeb ja mobiil on omavahel kokkusobimatud terminid? Mobiiliga ju ka surfad veebis?

    Sa ei pruugi mobiilis surfata veebibrauseris, vabalt võid seda teha ka spetsiaalses iPhone, Androidi või Java või Symbiani rakenduses. Veeb on vaid üks alamosa SaaS'ist ja netirakendustest.

Misconceptions regarding electric cars

EU's Fit for 55 plan includes quite ambitious emissions reduction targets for the car industry and this has initiated a big discussion in the industry and among thought-leaders. I would like to point out two topics where our thinking tends to go wrong and where looking at the wider picture makes sense Let's think wider than just switching the power source from internal combustion to battery-electric. Here is a photo of one of the first cars made. It is a 1896 Arnold Benz, whose driver Walter Arnold received the worlds first speeding ticket for driving 13km/h with it. As you can see the car looks like a horse carriage minus the horse. It was only a few decades later that cars were considered to be cars and not horse carriages with engines and could therefore be designed differently. At present day we have a similar problem and are stuck in the thinking that an electric vehicle must be a car where everything must be otherwise the same only the engine to be a battery powered elect

2022 - The year of breakthrough of hybrid and remote work. The massive impact this will bring

(Neither ChatGPT, nor any other AI was used to write this article. Photos by me. But the illustrations were created by Midjourney AI. You can find the Midjourney command in Italic at the footer of each illustration.)  In this post I will cover two topics. Firstly, the hybrid and remote work practices and its challenges. Secondly, some thoughts on the huge impact the hybrid/remote work will bring about small-townization. Part 1 - Where we are with hybrid and remote work? A few weeks ago there was a fire drill in the office building of Solita Tallinn. The alarm went on and everybody in the building (the one on the photo) had to evacuate to the street. While waiting on the street for the drill to end we did a small calculation. We calculated that there should be about 800-1000 workplaces in the whole building. However, the "evacuated" crowd was only 150-200 persons strong. So roughly 10-30% of the workplaces in our office building are used. This matches the numbers we are seein

How to move to Estonia Guide (for ICT consultants, specialists....but for others also)

-
The information in this post and the links were updated on 18th of July 2014. In my opinion Estonia is a good place for IT specialists to find a job and work in! Especially in the situation when the (youth) unemployment is rising and in many European countries there is no sign of it easing.  I promoted the idea to the Estonian IT companies in one of my recent posts . With this post I want to give my contribution to the exchange of talent inside EU. I hope this helps at least a few people.  This post is definitely not an official guide, but more of a friendly advice. If you have any questions regarding moving or any important information that could help others then please comment this post!  This post focuses on moving to Tallinn. Tartu, as the second biggest town in Estonia, is also an alternative with Playtech and Webmedia as the biggest IT sector employers there. The first thing you need is a job .  If you are an IT specialist with a university degree there is a good chance
