Abstract

Technology is a continual state of flux, but the current state of transformation is different in that it will radically change the way in which we – individuals and businesses – work and make decisions. Sweeping changes resulting from the adoption and maturation of mobility, cloud computing, Big Data, automation, cognitive computing and the Internet of Things will reshape business operations, processes and priorities. Today, we think and talk about the changing technology, but not the results of that change. The 2112 Group's Larry Walsh looks beyond the changing technology to explore the downstream impact of IT transformation and what it means to IT businesses in terms of operations, management, security and outcomes.
