Information workers use over 9 apps/day, and have more than half of them open at any one time. This work experience makes it difficult for them to focus on what's important and to see the big picture. New developments in artificial intelligence, specifically natural language processing and machine learning, offer a new way to interact with the apps we already have - by topics. Cognitive science teaches us that our brains think in terms of associated topics, so it just makes sense that our interaction with technology should be in terms of topics, such as customer, product, or service, rather than by apps such as Outlook, Word, Salesforce, and Zendesk. This presentation describes the promise of Topic Computing

- 8. 8 The secret of topic computing is in its use of AI, like natural language processing and machine learning, to aggregate information together in a meaningful way, the way the brain works. For the first time, people see the big picture. The result is improved employee productivity.”
- 9. 9 The Topic Computing Market Source: https://harmon.ie/blog/harmonie-debuts-collage The more tools in use, the more complex it becomes to focus on the actual work, because related information spans across multiple clouds… Tools that aggregate multiple sources into a single location make it easier for employees to create, discover and take action on the things people require to get their jobs done.

However, the ability to externally integrate with multiple business applications, cloud office platforms and other social software applications — to provide a unified view — will become more critical over time.

Editor's Notes
- The problem is that business requires focus. We need to focus, think and act in order to be productive. We need to focus in order to solve problems. We need to focus to develop software, we need focus to listen to each other, in order understand our customers. Focus is the key to business productivity. So the very design of the mobile device doesn’t match the most basic business requirement: focus.
- You are most certainly using apps beyond Office 365 in your business. harmon.ie humanizes the Digital Experience by showing all notifications from all your apps, not just those from Office 365. Finally, you see all the information you need to do your job, in one place, email, arranged by topic. So you can focus on customers, project, products, and so on without having to toggle from app to app. And you don’t have to install any new software, do any new training, or integrate apps or services. It’s all part of your existing harmon.ie product; the one you already own/buy today. You progress at your own pace. Start today by humanizing the Office 365 experience by dragging and dropping documents to SharePoint. And progress to full “Topic Computing.” By humanizing the Digital Experience, harmon.ie enables you to get productivity out of all your apps, so your business initiatives are successful.
