How Big Data, Cloud, Social Media and Mobility are Reprogramming Businesses

30 March 2016, Hilton Cyrpus, Nicosia

Over the next five years, 90% of companies' IT investments will involve Third Platform technologies. While organizations will still need servers, PCs, client- and PC-based applications, and miles of cables, these technologies will serve mainly as tools to facilitate the use of mobility, cloud, Big Data analytics, and social networks. Architectures, communication processes, and IT contracts will change. And organizations' awareness of their capabilities and potential will increase dramatically.
