2. 1. Applied AI and Advanced
Machine Learning
• Enablers: extensive processing
power, advanced algorythms
• Includes deep learning, neural
networks, nature language
processing
• Systems can understand, learn,
predict and adapt in order to
act autonomously
• Enables creation of even more
intelligent devices and
programs

3. 2. Intelligent Apps
• Improves end user productivity
• e.g. Virtual Personal
Assistant
• Enhances enterprise
applications
• AI powered
• ML enabled
Combined with Big Data and Advanced Analytics significantly improves
customer experience

4. 3. Intelligent Things
• New intelligent things on the market
• Robots
• Drones
• Autonomous vehicles
• Existing things (like IoT) are
improved
• get AI power
• become collaborative
Over time intelligent things will communicate with one another and act in concert

5. 4. Virtual and Augmented
Reality
• It transforms the way we
interact
• Creates an immerse
environment
• AR blends real and virtual
worlds
• Over time AR and VR
expands to include also
human senses not just visual

6. 5. Digital Twin
• It is a dynamic software model
of a physical thing or system
• Use physics data of how
things operate combined with
data provided by sensors

Combined with people and processes enables digital representation of the real
world for simulation, analysis and control

7. 6. Blockchain
• Distributed ledger in which
transactions are sequentially
grouped into blocks
• Allows suppliers and
customers to connect directly
removing the need for a third
party
• Exchanges are secured using
cryptographic solutions picture credit to vertafore.com

8. 7. Conversational systems
• Supports simple,
bidirectional text or voice
conversations or even
complex interactions
• Computer hears, learns
and adapts to human not
vice versa
• Enables not just text and
voice but multiple
modalities (e.g. sight,
tactile) for communication

9. 8. Mesh App and Service
Architecture
Multichannel architecture
required by “intelligent digital
mesh” that uses
• cloud resources
• containers
• microservices
in order to deliver modular,
flexible and intelligent
solutions

10. 9. Digital Technology
Platforms
Building blocks for a digital business
information
systems
customer
experience
analytics and
intelligence
Internet of
Things
business
ecosystems

11. 10. Adaptive Security
Architecture
• Attributes
• Multiple layers of defense
• User behavior analytics
• Security architecture required
by “intelligent digital mesh” and
digital platforms has to be
flexible and adaptive
• Security teams to work with
enterprise and solution
architects to consider security
in the design as early as
possible
