Now the IT Marketplace That Matters
3rd Platform will dominate growth: up by
15%, driving 29% of 2014 IT spending, and
89% of growth.
3rd Platform will cannibalize 2nd Platform:
40-50% of 3rd Platform growth in 2014 will
come at the expense of 2nd Platform.
Value migrating within 3rd Platform: up
the stack, toward customers’ competitive
advantage.
Vendors are also shifting: Amazon driving
higher up into the “innovation zone”;
Google waking up; incumbent IT leaders
stripping down and reconfiguring.
4 Areas for Innovation
 Mobility
 Big Data
 Cloud
 Social Media
The Mobile Revolution Has Arrived
Smartphones & Tablets (13%) will lead 2014
growth, accounting for over 60% of total IT
market growth. Excluding mobile devices, IT
growth will be only 2.4%.
Beyond Mobile Devices: Growth in all major
sectors – Servers, Storage, Networks, Software,
Services – will be positive, except PCs (-6%)
Internet access via SMDs will exceed PC
access by 2015
Mini tablets will jump from 33% to 60% of the
tablet market
Big Data and Analytics:
The Chief CIO Issue from 2014 Onward
Big Data Software Landscape
 CIOs are being overwhelmed by the
amount of data to manage
 Too much information to capture,
manage and understand to support
enterprise decision making
 Confronted with important policy
questions in terms of generation,
management, ownership and liability
 Big Data and Analytics will be the issue of
the year for many CIOs in 2013 in an effort to
provide more value from IT
Creation of new data from both structured
and unstructured sources will require a new
breed of analyst

Social “Invades” the Entire Enterprise
Social = standard foundation for customer
engagement and marketing. By 2017, 80%
of Fortune 500 companies will have an active
customer community, up from 30% today.
Enterprise social platforms meet Cloud
PaaS platforms. In 2014-2015, social
platforms will merge with cloud (PaaS)
platforms and the expanding standalone
enterprise social networks will go the way of
the Blackberry.

Social Media and Flu Tracking
Current Approach
 Tracking done mainly through doctor visits
 Largely linear, with info passed along
 Access comes at end of process
 Widely practiced in US, WE, and CEE
5-10 days
Social Media and Flu Tracking
Social Approach
 Tracking done with search engines
and social media
 Non-linear information flow
 Access comes at start of process
 Being experimented with
3-5 days?
Conclusions
Cloud spending will exceed $100 billion. Growing
by 25%, and skewing toward public (shared) cloud
services.
Big Data spending will explode, shift. 2014
spending will grow by 30%, to $14+ billion. Growth
shifts to analytic tools, apps.
Social invades, and disrupts, product and
service development. By 2016, 60% of the
Fortune 500 will deploy social-enabled innovation
management solutions.
PCs vs. Tablets and Smartphones – the
onslaught continues. In 2014, sales of
smartphones and tablets will exceed PCs by 2.5:1.
The PC slide will continue (-6%).

  • #16: Patient feels sick –> goes to doctor –> doctor files daily or weekly report –> CDC or public health authority compiles reports from around country –> (usually) weekly report on flu trends issued –> media reports on trend; healthcare workers take action –> healthcare workers not on CDC mailing lists take action
  • #17: Current approach requires waiting for information – that is handed along a more or less linear chain from patient to health public health authorities. Social media and analytics approach – access to information both much faster and much easier. A 2012 study done at the U of Iowa on Twitter analytics found it can predict flu occurrences BEFORE flu cases were formally reported. (This finding was echoed by another a similar study done in Bristol UK). A 2009 Study shows that Google Flu Trends can also predict where outbreaks are occurring before being formally reported. Moreover – dissemination of the information no longer depends on traditional media. It can be done (and is being done in the US and to a lesser extent continental Europe) via social media. Patient feels sick Googles flu symptoms and declares feeling ill on FB, Twitter, etc – SAME DAY –> goes to doctor –> public health authorities monitor search engines and social media –> Public health authorities sends RSS, email, and social media alerts –> healthcare workers take action –> doctor files daily or weekly report –> media reports on flu spread –> CDC or public health authority compiles reports from around country –> (usually) weekly report on flu trends issued; alerts via social media –> healthcare workers take additional action –> media reports on trend; healthcare officials take action –> healthcare officials not on CDC mailing lists or social media take action
