The Global Technology Outlook (GTO) is IBM Research’s vision of the future for information technology (IT) and its implications on industries. This annual exercise highlights emerging software, hardware, and services technology trends that are expected to significantly impact the IT sector in the next 3-10 years. In particular, the GTO identifies technologies that may be disruptive to an existing business, have the potential to create new opportunity, and can provide new business value to our customers. The 2013 GTO builds upon 100 years of IBM innovation as we embark on the era of context-centric cognitive computing. The confluence of mobile, social, cloud and analytics are enabling the creation, manipulation and exploitation of context. How much value is contained in growing volumes of images and videos? How can flexible interactive visualization technologies enhance business and scientific analytics and discovery? How can personalized education experiences be delivered through knowledge management, analytics and context? What mobile strategy will enable a secure end-to-end platform and solutions for constantly connected employees and customers? How are companies using the programmable web to externalize core offerings and enterprise capabilities to the global network? What benefits can be realized from a federated heterogeneous cloud for just-in-time workload optimization? The 2013 GTO focuses on six topics: Contextual Enterprise, Future of Analytics: Multimedia and Visual Analytics, Mobile First, Scalable Services Ecosystem, Software Defined Environments, and the Future of Education. In this talk, I will share the GTO 2013 findings.
