Latin America Predictions

Leading Digital Transformation to Scale

 

 

The "next chapter" of the 3rd Platform unfolds as we move from the foundation stage to mainstream adoption stage. With most organizations now utilizing third platform technologies to drive the digital transformation of their organization, the industry finds itself at an inflexion point – those organizations who can rapidly scale their digital transformation efforts by leveraging 3rd Platform technologies will be the the rivers in the digital economy.

 

This is a high stakes game and the pressure is on as some organizations pull away from the pack with bold digital bets. Leadership comes into play heavily now.

 

Summary

 

 

In this IDC FutureScape Web conference, IDC LA analysts will predict ten major developments that will redefine the IT industry over the next 18-36 months, and impact every industry that uses IT to compete. These developments will reorder all of these industries' leadership ranks over the next several years, and well beyond.

 

3rd Platform (3P) technologies – including Cloud, Big Data, Mobile, Cognitive Computing, and Internet of Things (IoT) – will once again play a starring role. What's new in 2016 is that we'll see the adoption of these disruptive technologies – and Digital Transformation (DX) initiatives in every industry enabled by these technologies – begin to dramatically scale up. By 2020, we’ll see adoption of key 3P technologies, and the rollout of digital transformation initiatives, double or triple – while some elements will expand ten-fold, one hundred-fold, and even ten thousand-fold!

 

The ten predictions will focus on the most important areas of massive adoption and scale-up. In this presentation, IDC will also address the most strategic question for executives in 2016: "What must enterprise leaders - and their IT suppliers - do to lead in this disruptive and fast-growing 'Digital Transformation at scale' world?"
