TMT Predictions 2011
Where to for Technology, media & telecommunications (TMT) in 2011?
Every industry changes over time. But no industry group does so as continuously and rapidly as Technology, Media & Telecommunications. As British humorist and tech observer Stephen Fry noted: “one calendar year= three digital years.” In any industry it would be nice to know what will happen in the near future: in TMT it is indispensable.
How does Deloitte build the Predictions?
Two words: Our networks. Our ten thousand strong network of Deloitte member firm professionals who work in the TMT space is the first step. They provide the initial insights and ideas to draft a list of possible annual Predictions. Only then does our second network come into play. Across all three industries, around the world, and from established industry giants to tomorrow’s start-ups, Deloitte member firm clients are interviewed and asked for feedback, further sharpening the insights that Predictions can provide.
What is the big theme for this year’s Predictions?
It is virtually impossible to reduce eighteen Predictions, spanning topics from TV to hydrogen fuel cells to a single theme. But across many of the Predictions “diversity” is a common element. Deloitte sees a 2011 where consumers and enterprises will be dealing with diversity in hardware computing platforms, in software operating systems and in wireless network access. Supporting different devices across different networks is, of course, not entirely a new phenomenon for TMT...but in 2011 the level of diversity will reach an all time high.
