Focus: Tech Trends 2012

Elevate IT for digital business

Tech Trends 2012What makes Technology Trends unique from other trends reports? Each trend must be actionable and have measurable value to the business. As mobility, social business, cloud computing, and analytics evolve, each may represent a significant opportunity to transform enterprises, markets, and industries.

It’s an uncommon, and perhaps even unique, time to have so many rapidly evolving, technology-centric forces emerging. As adoption patterns accelerate and these forces mature and integrate, many believe it will mark the dawn of the postdigital era.

Each of the 2012 trends is relevant today. Forward-thinking organizations should consider developing an explicit strategy in each area – even if that strategy is to wait and see. But whatever you do, step up. Use this collection of Deloitte thought leadership and the digital forces to your advantage.
