1. Introduction 2. Questions 2.1. Using the ‘9 key enterprise tech trends for 2015 and beyond’ by Eric Knorr, select, rank and compare your top five trends. Discuss the reasons for your ranking? The below listed topics are ranked and compared accordingly to the argument of innovation and global need. The given reasons generate reasonable understanding of the trends and their importance in enterprise systems: 1. The triumph of the public cloud- I ranked this trend first because I believe it is one of the most advanced and talked about topic in tech world in present year. This controversial topic is creating buzz all over the world. With advancement of technology, various tech companies have increased their effort to provide a free cloud storage system. Eric Knorr also listed this topic as a number one tech trend in his list. I believe this topic itself is one of the major challenges for public and private companies in term to provide certain product which not only is hard to maintain as well as complex and costly to generate. IT Companies can shift their fundamental competitive landscape by fabricating a new platform which will help to create and deliver values businesses have to its stakeholders (IBM, 2012). The cloud based storage can be used by companies to generate Enterprise data which can be used as various decision making and evaluation tools. (Stair and Reynolds, n.d.) 2. Liquid Computing: Eric Knorr listed this trend number four in his article but I believe
After reading many articles about Cloud Computing I saw the bright future for these types of cloud services. Aside from educating myself on this topic I feel that this could be beneficial to my fellow Computer Technology peers to address their client or employers cloud needs as well as people who are going to start a business and are looking at the options available to address their companies demands.
Cloud computing is a fast growing information technology trend that many companies including Google, Microsoft, and IBM are currently looking to get a stake in as demand for the service grows. Cloud computing is the concept of allowing both individuals and businesses to store data and applications on remote servers (owned and operated by a third party company), rather than on their own hard drives and data centers. The service boasts the ability to securely access data and applications from just about any device with an internet connection, allowing for such services as streaming music from a personal collection from multiple devices, and even to business
Cloud computing has set a trend in the information technology arena that has sparked the interest of all who utilize the internet on purpose and unsuspectingly. Initially, the primary purpose of cloud computing was to provide a centralized data bank that organizations could use for quick data access. Its use has been quickly adapted, however, beyond business use to become the first option for personal use. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing such a shift from business to personal are varied, yet, statistically, according to the CISCO Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2014-2019 White Paper, its public use is on the rise. The report notes that “by 2019, 56 percent of the cloud workloads will be in public cloud data centers, up from 30 percent in 2014 and by 2019, 44 percent of the cloud workloads will be in private cloud data centers, down from 70 percent in 2014”. Though disadvantages with regard to data security is prominent, users have deemed that its implementation will still promote greater benefits than loss.
In modern society with technology being so closely tied to having a competitive advantage, a lot of industries compete to keep up to date with new developments. The invention and increased use of computers, internet, and phones have all made a major impact on organisations around the world.
-Industry trends: The tech industry is being reshaped in numerous ways. Technology firms are revisiting the structure of their businesses, which resulted in finding ways to better their financial performance. The competition, in turn, has made customers more demanding. They are seeking greater performance, better features, and more platform independence and flexibility at the lowest price point possible.
Using the readings and enrichment materials for the unit, define and analyze ways in which innovation at HCL Technologies will likely be influenced by trends shaping global markets. Make sure to name at least two trends that inform your analysis and provide at least one reference (other than the case study) to support your rationale. Please remember that trends refer to sustained and systemic change across boundaries of cultures, economies, technologies, and ecosystems. Be mindful that trends are not specific initiatives implemented by leadership within the HCL case study.
I did this research by reading scientific literatures. I started with the NMC Horizon Reports, from which I quoted some important trends mentioned in it, for example Cloud computing, wearable technology, etc., and got some
our information is stored digitally. The cloud computing business is growing rapidly. According to a study from consulting firm Emergent Research and
Building a new information system is one of the important aspects of organizational change. The Great World Enterprises is a consumer electronics company that wants to deal with high-end electronics. It is an American company that wants to succeed in the modern digital world by securing business rights with companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung. In order to achieve success in the current world, it must have an effective information systems strategy. The strategy will significantly contribute to the success of its five-year strategic plan. According to Laudon and Laudon (2015), introduction of a new information system in an organization is more than new hardware and software. It
As far as I am concerned, the value proposition in RF intends to shift to cloud platform for private
One of the main benefits of cloud computing is that the company’s resources are used in other different ways and reduce the overall costs. It eliminates the need for a physical hardware computer and replace it with an online storage or a software delivered over the internet. For instance, government agencies are shifting its government IT infrastructure into the cloud and launch mobile and e-services for citizens and businesses. As an example of cloud applications in some countries: In China a company named Wang Fu Jing has deployed cloud services to share supply chain information and implement B2B e-commerce with suppliers (Kshetri, N. ,2011). Another example is in South Korea: IBM’s cloud computing centre provides architecture, skills and pilot projects for banking, telecommunications, and IT hosting services (Kshetri, N. ,2011). An Indian bank named ICICI’s uses Zoho’s applications to develop services such as personalised insurance for diabetes (Kshetri, N. ,2011). Cloud computing offers many services to companies and government agencies; applications, operating systems and data are secured in the cloud environment rather than on a physical computer that is exposed to the risk of lost, stolen or hardware failure. Compared to client-based computing, cloud-based software is easier to install, maintain and upgrade. Furthermore, mobile applications based on cloud computing are becoming increasingly popular. Ericsson estimates that there
Whether it’s called Cloud Computing or On-demand Computing, Software as a Service, or the Internet as Platform, the common element is a shift in the geography of computation. When you create a spreadsheet with the Google Docs service, major components of the software reside on unseen computers, whereabouts unknown, possibly scattered across continents. This affects all levels of the computational ecosystem, from casual user to software developer, IT manager, even hardware manufacturer. Recently, a lot of vendors have started talking about “cloud computing” in their marketing materials. Citing a research published by Merrill Lynch entitled “The Cloud Wars: $100+ billion at stake,” Merrill Lynch has estimated a $160- billion addressable market opportunity, including $95- billion in business and productivity applications, and another $65-billion in online advertising for Cloud Computing. But the main question is whether the users are ready to give up using services on their local machines and shift to the Cloud since shifting to cloud computing has both advantages and disadvantages for all possible users; nevertheless, they may have different level of importance for different users
Capitalizing on technological, business and social trends and the need of enterprises to innovate in addressing those trends;
Cloud computing is more advantageous to this sector. It’s one of the easiest and fastest service in order to advertise and spread fame. It helps in spreading the name of services and get fame in the market with in a very short period. The software as well as hardware related issues occurred in this field are solved to a great extent by the cloud computing. It improves the platform and provides the security to the data stored in the cloud.
Surprisingly, the enterprise did not recognize innovations much. That can be justified with the fact that the firm’s financial potential is evidently limited owing to the corporate size and revenues. The company was addressing its target audience, which could not be described as unexpectedly big. Recent changes in a sphere of information technologies have caused the firm to reconsider its entrepreneurial orientation. Cloud Computing technologies have entered the market of the United States. Therefore, the organization has decided to make an adequate response on thea trend and gain a new competitive advantage. The chief executive
