Technology Futures: IBM's Global Technology Outlook

Join us for a look at IBM's vision for the near term future, or as IBM terms it, IBM's Global Technology Outlook (GTO). Our speaker will present IBM's research on IT and its impact on industries that use IT. The session will highlight emerging architecture, software, hardware, and services technology trends that are expected to significantly impact IT in the next 3-7 years and how these trends will enable new uses and capabilities for IT. These new technologies have the potential to transform the performance and characteristics of tomorrow's IT systems while providing new business value to customers. The technologies to be discussed may include:

• Search and Analytics- The technology that is driving new application development
• The Event-Driven World - How does the accelerating need to handle large volumes of time-dependent events impact IT?
• Application-Optimized Systems - How do trends in modularity, scale-out and virtualization impact IT?
• Services 2.0 - How do web-based services and emerging engineering methods and tools impact complex business services?
  

If you need to understand where IT is headed in the future, you can't afford to miss this session.
