Bangalore: India has the potential to lead the world in the adoption of the Nexus of Forces, which is the convergence and mutual reinforcement of social interaction, mobility, cloud and information, however for this to happen a number technological and socioeconomic shifts must happen, according to Gartner.

The manner in which IT is used, developed and managed will change significantly, because of the Nexus of Forces, and the technologies that sit behind them. These pivotal technologies include the explosive use of media tablets, mobile applications, context-aware computing, the Internet of things, next-generation analytics and in-memory computing (IMC).

“However, for this to occur, new infrastructure will have to replace the old; new types of servers, networks and even data centers will have to be rolled out, “ said Rakesh Kumar, research vice president at Gartner. “A cash rich consumer base is required that is able to demand and take advantage of social, mobile and context-aware applications. Furthermore, established ways of behaving in education, shopping, banking, etc., will have to morph to take advantage of new technologies.”
