17. In the end:

18. Notes:
Slide 3:
Yes we all wanted the awesome hover-boards, time travel, technology that gets
you ready out of bed & serves you food at a button … sadly that’s not what we
have yet or see
Slide 4:
Green Initiatives, Security Concerns & the Human touch seem to be underlying
themes for everything … you can’t miss those whatever you do…
Slide 6:
Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) is the world's leading information technology
research and advisory company.
Analysts presented their findings during Gartner Symposium/ITxpo - important
gathering of CIOs and senior IT executives
Mobile Device Battles
Gartner predicts that by 2013 mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most
common Web access device worldwide and that by 2015 over 80 percent of the
handsets sold in mature markets will be smartphones. However, only 20 percent
of those handsets are likely to be Windows phones.

19. HTML 5 & Browser
Through 2014, JavaScript performance will push HTML5 and the browser as a
mainstream application developer environment. Six mobile architectures –
native, special, hybrid, HTML 5, Message and No Client will remain popular. However,
there will be a long term shift away from native apps to Web apps as HTML5 becomes
more capable. But native apps won’t disappear, and will always offer best
experiences.Developers will also need to develop new design skills to deliver touch-
optimized mobile applications that operate across a range of devices in a coordinated
fashion.
Personal Cloud
The personal cloud will gradually replace the PC as the location where individuals keep
their personal content, access their services and personal preferences and center their
digital lives. It will be the glue that connects the web of devices they choose to use
during different aspects of their daily lives
world no one platform, form factor, technology or vendor will dominate and managed
diversity and mobile device management will be an imperative. The personal cloud
shifts the focus from the client device to cloud-based services delivered across devices.
Enterprise App Store:
With enterprise app stores the role of IT shifts from that of a centralized planner to a
market manager providing governance and brokerage services to users and potentially
an ecosystem to support apptrepreneurs.

20. The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes how the Internet will expand as physical
items such as consumer devices and physical assets are connected to the Internet. Key elements of
the IoT which are being embedded in a variety of mobile devices include embedded sensors,
image recognition technologies and NFC payment. As a result, mobile no longer refers only to use
of cellular handsets or tablets. Smartphones and other intelligent devices don't just use the
cellular network, they communicate via NFC, Bluetooth, LE and Wi-Fi to a wide range of devices
and peripherals, such as wristwatch displays, healthcare sensors, smart posters, and home
entertainment systems. The IoT will enable a wide range of new applications and services while
raising many new challenges.
Hybrid IT and Cloud Computing
IT organizations realize that they have a responsibility to help improve the provisioning and
consumption of inherently distributed, heterogeneous and often complex cloud services for their
internal users and external business partners.
Strategic Big Data
Big Data is moving from a focus on individual projects to an influence on enterprises’ strategic
information architecture. Dealing with data volume, variety, velocity and complexity is forcing
changes to many traditional approaches. This realization is leading organizations to abandon the
concept of a single enterprise data warehouse containing all information needed for decisions.
Instead they are moving towards multiple systems, including content management, data
warehouses, data marts and specialized file systems tied together with data services and
metadata, which will become the "logical" enterprise data warehouse.
Actionable Analytics
Analytics is increasingly delivered to users at the point of action and in context.

21. In Memory Computing
In memory computing (IMC) can also provide transformational opportunities. The execution of
certain-types of hours-long batch processes can be squeezed into minutes or even seconds
allowing these processes to be provided in the form of real-time or near real-time services that
can be delivered to internal or external users in the form of cloud services.
Integrated Ecosystems
The market is undergoing a shift to more integrated systems and ecosystems and away from
loosely coupled heterogeneous approaches. Driving this trend is the user desire for lower cost,
simplicity, and more assured security. The trend is manifested in three levels. Appliances combine
hardware and software and software and services are packaged to address and infrastructure or
application workload
Slide 7:
Social –local : Social graph merging with location based services
E-commerce : shipping costs must reduce, needs to cater to multi platform, 24x7 global
environment
Slide 8:
Cheap Smartphones
App – to become specific .. Money minting days over … only those that can sustain will survive
Smartphone users are less likely to click on a link in a newsletter than computer users.
Slide 10:
There are too many misconceptions regarding this because of it’s humble name, but you’re
already using it in the daily web browsing so it’s obviously here to stay
Slide 11:
Big Data-time is not about big numbers, it’s about data that’s large in volume, complex in type &
requires real time analytics

22. Slide 12:
Augmented reality - Augmented reality is going to be the bomb and work is currently
progressing smoothly. As expected the first generation apps are not that great, and
there are some problems in virtual reality facing software engineers that cannot be
solved currently as the algorithms to tackle those problems do not exist (to my
knowledge), but people will find a way. Augmented reality is when you take reality
and modify it somehow, depending on what you want to see. You can add
information to the visual world:
Designing for Humans – more of a philosophy
Slide 13:
3-D : Starting with –healthcare industry, planning to transform manufacturing forever
Smart TV – TV anytime anywhere – on the line of Internet anytime anywhere
Personalization – wearable gadgets,
Slide 14: Agile: Resources are spreading geographically apart & there’s too much
happening at once… Agile is the need to meet such scenarios
Slide 15: Identity and Access Governance (IAG) solutions allow IT to centralize and
manage access to resources.
Certificates in analytics, data mining and data science are offered by EMC, Datameer,
Cisco, and many others helping you to acquire the skills needed to extract reliable
information from large data sets
