I get pretty excited about the strategic movement towards Cloud-based services happening right now in IT and all industries - there is a fundamental transformative shift going on which will affect the way we work, the way we do business and the way we live. This week in the UK Financial Times, Shane Robison - HP executive vice president and chief strategy and technology officer - articulates some of his future vision of how everything, from work life to entertainment to communities, will be delivered "as a service" in the Cloud. In particular, he points out 5 trends to watch closely:
1. The digital world will converge with the physical world
2. The era of device-centric computing is over. Connectivity-centric computing will take centre stage
3. Publishing will be democratised
4. Crowd-sourcing is going mainstream
5. Enterprises will use radically different tools to make key business decisions, including systems to predict the future.
However, in order to realise this potential a new level of intelligence must be built into devices, networks and software.
