IBM has identified mobile devices, cloud computing and four other trends that are looking to shape the federal information technology of the future, according to Jane Snowdon, director and chief innovation officer at IBM Federal.
In an op-ed for Federal Times, Snowdon writes that mbility will continue to forge ahead to help enterprises and industries get closer to their customers, improve communication and elevate productivity.
Cloud computing seems “inevitable” as well, Snowdon says, as companies migrate from traditional, legacy systems to cope with big data.
Snowdon also pointed to multimedia such as a standard data format, big data, analytics and cognitive systems to get insights out of burgeoning information.
