Simplify means to understand the fundamental drivers of technology, something we call the “Technology Principals”, which enables us to assess the technology trends across the innovation horizons and the impact to the enterprise.  These Technology Principals are;

  • Data, The Fuel of Technology; There has been a fundamental shift in the treatment of data, moving from the subject to the object of technology. This is a recognition that data has intrinsic strategic value independent of the technology
  • Standards, The Fabric of Collaboration; Society and Business operates in a highly connected and increasingly ecosystem driven world, and successful enterprises will need to be more collaborative with their customers, clients and partners. This relies on technologies aligning with agreed standards
  • Security, The Foundation of Confidence; For years IT has been built on the fundamental parameters of cost and performance, but with the digitalisation of society and transfer of value to on-line, security is now integral to the parameters of the technology equation.

Understanding the key themes and ideas of the Technology Principals enables enterprises to decode and make sense of the other technology evolutions we track.
