New Trends Empowering the Workforce

The industry is being reshaped by a number of disruptive technological advancements and trends today. The continued rise of a mobilized society where everything is connected is the first. The rise of services in a universally accessible cloud, allowing emergence of smart objects, contextual engagement and personal based interactions is another. We can also see changes in software, driving a proliferation of new applications, empowered by a common language of APIs that enable increasingly faster and more open integration. And finally, new big data, collaboration and social capabilities that accelerate and dynamically connect knowledge sharing and content creation between individuals and provide companies unprecedented customer insights.
