Trend watch 2014 What’s ahead for your business?


Prepare your enterprise with StruxureWare data analysis and predictive tools


System interoperability and the ability to monitor, analyse, and predict data flows are necessary to make sense of 2014 trends.


Technology titans in Web, telco, IT, and data centre industries are already bolstering their infrastructures to dominate the four mega trends of 2014. And without a strategy to make sense of these trends, your organisation will lag behind.


Big data


Knowing what to do with “big data” requires finding out wh ich data is relevant to your business. Then, you need to figure out how to store, protect, back up, and access this data for analysis and use.


Cloud computing


The cloud poses challenges similar to big data. Today, it’s a platform that mines, processes, and interprets data, so security is urgent.


The Internet of Things (IoT) A concept that describes our increasingly interconnected world, IoT needs your attention because devices that achieve interoperability and facilitate direct communication between machines will be the norm.


Mobile devices In 2015 there will be twice as many networked devices than there are people on the planet, so expect new ways to communicate and do business.


How to leverage 2014 megatrends As these new technologies emerge, here are four steps your enterprise must take:


1. Assess your organisation's “energy maturity.” Get your “small data” house in order, then scale upward.


2. Engage stakeholders. Show the data in the most transparent way possible.


Discover the four steps to leveraging this year’s mega trends.


3. Reinforce financial impact and value. Prove that ROI extends beyond cost savings using statistics.


4. Grow your talent pool. Expand the skills of your workforce to include data analytics.
