Accenture Technology Vision 2011 - The Technology Waves That Are Reshaping the Business Landscape.
The Accenture Technology Vision takes stock of the evolving trends in IT and how Accenture thinks they will impact business and society as a whole.The Vision helps Accenture and their clients understand the opportunities—and challenges—that lie ahead.
The Accenture Technology Vision 2011,research team developed some 400 hypotheses based on input from scientists, architects and engineers—from inside and outside of Accenture. Fifty of these were ultimately found to be defensible, and were consolidated into eight trends:
- Data takes its rightful place as a platform.
- Analytics is driving a discontinuous evolution from business intelligence.
- Cloud computing will create more value higher up the stack.
- Architecture will shift from server-centric to service-centric.
- IT security will respond rapidly, progressively—and in proportion.
- Data privacy will adopt a risk-based approach.
- Social platforms will emerge as a new source of business intelligence.
- User experience is what matters.

I get to this at 23:26 snd find myself sitting up. When will the day, the week stop readjusting my thinking. On Social Media as business intelligence that is or has become part of my brief. Copy tasting trends and acting upon them sometimes through direct engagement. As I comment on the Horizon 2011 Report I would say sbout this too, the authors have been a little coy, there are things they say will happen that are already becoming established.
p.s. Great blog functionality. You have a mindset that I lack. Efforts in the past to diddle about evem with Apps, let alone HTML, tied me un knotd. Confirming my belirf in less is more I grabbed a brilliant wordprocessing App from a Japenese Design House, Intelligent Architecture. There is nothing to it, literally it cuts an author of words back to pen and paper.(or in my case Smith-Corona).
Another point regarding the user experience, the issue has to be to stop banging out content because we can, because we are in effect indulging a self-indulgent, self-publishing whim, but because we understand its worth to a specific person and audience. The drift to video is inexorable, follow by match- making for brain types, rather than body times i.e. Putting like- minds together.
Hi Jonathon as you say 'the authors have been a little coy, there are things they say will happen that are already becoming established'.
Very true and how often do we see this. From a business perspective the plan is to look ahead of the game which can often be the case if the reader is not (ahead of the game that is. Good point and thanks for looking in.
As for the Blog, Blogger does all the hard work for you I don't have time to mess around with HTML and CSS these days I look for the easy option.
Cheers
