Social Computing
Social computing – not just media, collaboration or social networking – it’s a new fundamental for enterprise IT The rise of social computing in the enterprise is in some ways a return to the business landscape of Frank Capra’s and Norman Rockwell’s time – where business was local, corporations lived within a single office, and market value could be pegged by the sentiments on Main Street or at the water cooler. But as global business continues to accelerate, determining “who knows what” is becoming a challenge.

User Engagement
Empowering business by focusing from the “user down,” not the “system up” Software engineering has typically emphasized technical architectural “-ilities” – reliability, scalability, security, maintainability and flexibility. At the same time, low expectations were set for the other “-ilities” – namely, “usability” or employee interactions with enterprise technologies. While people grumbled about the systems they relied on for daily tasks, there were few examples of any better systems, and little impetus for corporate solution developers to implement change.

Applied Mobility
“The edge” has become the new battleground for innovation The rise of mobile computing is staggering in sheer scale (5 billion subscribers by December 2010) and in its breadth of adoption – crossing age groups, economic classes and geographies1 . Consumer interest in smartphones, tablets and untraditional connected devices such as set-top boxes, telematics, video games and embedded appliances is growing faster than with any other product segment, with a projected growth of 36% in the coming year2 . Connectivity is nearly ubiquitous with today’s mobile computing infrastructure and will only improve with the widespread roll-out of 4G, LTE and WiMAX in primary markets, and the impending launch of 3G in India in 20113 . As importantly, the mobile application (app) movement is fully underway, as traditional telephone service takes a back seat to messaging, email, media, social sites, games and productivity tools.

Capability Clouds
The cloud market evolves from capacity to capabilities For the past few years, the IT crowd has been enamored by “as-a-service” concepts and the potential to unleash the power of distributed computing, virtualization and ubiquitous networking. The message being spread is one of capacity and cost – the ability to tap into a nearly unlimited scale of computing power, storage, platforms and software with the hope of lower overall technology spending1 . Cheaper and faster are interesting terms to the bottom line, but better is a term that business can really get excited about
