Follow on Google News | ZapThink Announces Publication of ZapThink 2020 PosterOutlines Vision for Future of Enterprise IT over Next Decade
By: Ronald Schmelzer ”ZapThink 2020 represents the latest in a series of successful posters we have created over the past 10 years of our own existence,” said Ronald Schmelzer, Managing Partner at ZapThink, LLC. “ZapThink is well-known as an industry thought leader and visionary, and this poster will help craft a vision for our customers, readers, as well as ourselves as we continue down an inevitable evolutionary path for enterprise IT.” The ZapThink 2020 poster features five “Supertrends” The Global Cubicle – Any group of people anywhere in the world can interact on a personal level as though they were in the same cubicle. Democratization of Technology – Anybody in the organization can purchase, configure, and use any technology appropriate for their job. Deep Interoperability – Disparate pieces of technology work together dynamically. Standard interfaces are necessary but not sufficient. Complex Systems Engineering – Designing systems to exhibit emergent properties like business agility. Location Independence -- The physical location of technology is hidden from view and irrelevant to the user. It also highlights three major “themes” that will pervade most aspects of Enterprise IT over the next decade: Mobile computing, Cloud Computing, and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Gold sponsors of the poster include Ideate and Metasonic (formerly jCom1), and Silver sponsors include EnterpriseDataJournal and Nexaweb. “This is a great vehicle for us as we share ZapThink’s vision for Enterprise IT,” said Dave Duggal, Founder and Managing Director of Consilience International, who provides the Ideate framework. “Businesses understand that growing infrastructure complexity works against their enterprise agility. As the ZapThink poster suggests, it’s time for to consider new approaches. To that end, we are helping organizations rationalize the governance of composite applications. Our Web architecture streamlines middleware requirements while improving interaction dynamics and overall enterprise flexibility. Ideate’s lightweight run time environment centralizes the orchestration and execution of distributed resources. Every system response is made-to-order based on context and guided by rules to ensure business relevance and transactional integrity.” The poster is available in electronic form as a free download on the ZapThink website at http://www.zapthink.com/ About ZapThink, LLC Founded in October 2000, ZapThink, LLC (http://www.zapthink.com) is a strategic advisory, information, and education firm focused on the future of Enterprise IT.
