The document discusses the transformation of eDiscovery over time. It notes that by 2020, 70-80% of data created annually will live in or pass through the cloud. Additionally, individuals are now generating 30-50 times more data than what companies can handle from a security perspective. The future of eDiscovery is moving to focus more on governance and risk management earlier in the process. Technology innovations will focus on accelerating review times, advanced analytics and visualization of diverse data types.
Why is Mobility More than Making Enterprise Applications Available?Capgemini
This document discusses the differences between traditional enterprise mobility and newer mobility models enabled by personal devices, apps, and cloud services. In enterprise mobility, client-server applications are delivered to mobile devices, requiring synchronization of stateful data when connections are available. However, newer mobility refers to personal devices accessing modular apps and services from the cloud through a web/internet model using representational state and non-stateful data, avoiding issues of enterprise mobility around stateful data synchronization. The document provides examples of this including the Apple App Store, iCloud, and the iFly app.
Big data and wireless sensor technologies can help social enterprises address global development challenges by providing real-time information. However, barriers like inadequate technical capacity and high sensor costs limit their adoption. Creating easy-to-use systems and lowering costs is needed to realize big data's potential to empower social enterprises and improve lives in the developing world.
By applying wireless sensor technology to humanitarian issues, social enterprises can help address global development challenges and replicate solutions across many issues. However, inadequate human and technical capacity as well as barriers to consumer adoption limit the use of wireless sensor networks in social enterprises. Ultimately, a lack of investment is the biggest barrier to using big data and wireless sensor technologies to help social enterprises and developing nations.
With the computer revolution vast amount of digital data has become available. With the Internet and smart connected product, the data is growing exponentially. It is estimated that every year, more data is generated than all history prior. And this has repeated over several years.

Laura Ipson - Cisco - Green Networks: The Backbone for SustainabilityShane Mitchell
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help create "green networks" to support sustainability. It notes that internet users and connections are growing rapidly and will continue to do so. It then outlines how ICT networks spanning service providers, enterprises, homes, small businesses, and sensor networks can help monitor, manage and reduce electricity usage, appliance usage, and traffic flows to lower emissions. Specifically, it highlights opportunities to improve efficiency in office buildings, homes, and urban transportation using ICT. The document argues that while ICT industries themselves contribute a small portion of emissions, they have a responsibility to reduce their own footprint and disproportionately help other industries lower theirs through digital solutions.
