Gartner 2011 – episode 2
Wednesday, November 09, 2011 by Theo Punter


The Gartner symposium quickly gives you an insight into the CIO's state of mind – as said challenged to be a Chief Innovation Officer instead of Career Is Over as was the joke of previous years.

Probably the biggest innovation Gartner sees is the Internet of Everything, finally enabled by mobility, social media and cloud – so think intelligent dishwashers asking to be bought by you because you walk by and 'they' knowing that you have other equipment in your house that they can connect to……let your imagination do the rest because possible it is.

Looking at the main technology trends, it's about mobile devices, mobility, contextual awareness, app stores, next generation analytics, big data, in-memory computing, low energy. As you can see, all somehow related to the Internet of Everything. From the development point of view, it's mobile app's first and other channels after that. Interestingly enough, they state that HTML5 takes another 18-36 months to mature and by then will probably be obsolete – outrun by platform specifics.

Quite some sessions were targeted towards the need for programmers' agility or how to cope with all technology around. They promoted to think beyond the programming language and talked about 'Latin blocks' and 'fit for purpose' - make sure you can switch between 'similar' languages and select the right language or component for the right job – multi-cultural application landscapes.

With all this in mind you easily can see the importance of ISDC's 3i portfolio: Innovation, Intelligence and Integration brought to you by swift agile projects with integrated teams – so called DevOps teams who are dedicated to products and product lifecycle !

ISDC|Solution Manager|We are living in these technology trends. It is the paradigm change, which will move the centre of information and communication control away from the providers to the individual (empowerment to the user) . It envisions a world where individual have access to a plethora of information (-services) at any platform and any place. Moreover, these services will adapt transparently to changes in the capabilities of the infrastructure, to whatever the individual is doing, and to his personal preferences and needs (mass-individualization).
I would say, the vision of ubiquitous, mobile, context-aware, personalized services (UMCP) has serious consequences for every corporation, whatever business they are in. This technology is disruptive for ‘the old way of doing business’. If we look in the financial market, especially the banking, ‘new’ corporation is taking over transaction of money like paypal, google wallet. With your mobile you can do your transaction but also it will keep all of your loyalties card. This is one example, but think also in the retail business, with your mobile you can see where the nearest store is where they have your blouse with the right size and you can order it while you are on the way to this store and pay with your mobile.
So, it is all about ‘I’ntegration between services and platform (‘smart business network’), to provide the necessary information to consumers and where corporation see pattern in the data (‘I’ntelligence) in which they can react pro-actively. This means also that corporation has to adapt fast and easily new technology ( ‘I’nnovation) to prevent disruptive business.
If you’re not in UMCP, you are out!
