Speaker:
Brian Hopkins, Principal Analyst, Forrester
In his presentation, Forrester Principal Analyst Brian Hopkins talks about the four themes that broadly influence this year’s technology trends:
1) Empowerment challenges IT to leverage the technology users bring to work,
2) the app Internet provides a new architecture for mobile app interactions,
3) XaaS fundamentally changes IT economics, and
4) big data presents new challenges for information architects.
Looking at business impact, Forrester notes that IT executives expect business intelligence (BI), mobile, and business process management (BPM) technologies to deliver the most value from 2012 to 2014.
