5. Technology Convergence
• Technological Convergence is the convergence
of different arrays of technology to perform
similar tasks. Convergence often refers to the
“synergetic” combination of different forms of
information such as voice, video, and data
onto a single network. The combination of
these different communication technologies,
which were once separate, are now combined
creating new efficiencies.

6. Technology Convergence
• An example of a technological convergence is
the cellphone. Cellphones are no longer only
used to communicate from one person to
another, but are now capable of playing
MP3's, take pictures, capture videos etc. As
technology improves, so does the quality of
these tools.

• The worlds of IT and operational technology (OT)
are converging, and IT leaders must manage their
transition to converging, aligning and integrating
IT and OT environments, according to Gartner,
Inc.
• Analysts say the benefits that come from
managing IT and OT convergence, alignment and
integration include optimized business processes,
enhanced information for better decisions,
reduced costs, lower risks and shortened project
timelines.

• Application developers need to prepare for the
shift to mobile-centric apps on a variety of
devices
• As an increasing number of workers use mobile
devices to perform work duties, IT leaders and
application developers need to adapt, according
to a study from IT research firm Gartner.
Developers and businesses need to evolve mobile
applications and interfaces as demand for
business-to-business, business-to-employee and
business-to-consumer explodes, Gartner says.

• Gartner analysts also said developers should start
figuring out where the demand for these
applications lies, and perform a series of
assessments, including mobile-only, mobile-first
and legacy studies to further improve application
development management.
• Also important is the implementation of
architectural and tool frameworks for future app
development, including context-aware
applications.

23. Where do we start ?
• Ask yourself : “do we really need to ride the
tidal wave and make money from it ?”...and
get the answer in a blink, because 6 months
later it will be too late.
• Building our competencies, which means
developing our people, infrastructure and
technology.
• Work like crazy...
