Dear Readers,

The expanding scope of digitization in business is creating a significantly high potential for IT and its end users. Nearing the end of the first quarter of the year, wouldn’t you mind a little sneak peek into the technology buzzwords that are most likely to rule the roost this year?

1. The Rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) :
The immense amount of usable data obtained by the IoT will usher in a new era of ingenious business models to manage, operate and expand. The who’s who of the industry would possibly have to ask themselves the big question about how can they assimilate IoT into their business models so as to render their operations more productive.

2. Meet Your New Alter Ego :
Mobile devices have witnessed an unprecedented boom, lately. With the explosion of mobile devices and the emergence of smart screens and wearables, a shift towards the user experience, is evident. Going by the latest trends, it’s more about the “smart” part these days, rather than the “phone” itself. The key challenge for the IT sector on the whole will be in managing the different platforms and various architectures that would possibly arise from this gamut of connected devices .

3. Software-Defined Infrastructure and Applications :
Assessing the need of software-defined technologies as they are swiftly stepping into provide many organizations with the flexibility they need to stay afloat in this digitized world. One of the most essential steps would be the agile programming of infrastructure and applications that support such technologies. This would be important in creating a dynamic model that supports evolution of digitized business operations.

4. Risk-based security and self protection :
Data security is a burning issue today and the fears would only add to in the years to come. Security alerts matter the most with the enterprises dealing with hybrid cloud environments and escalating data amount from IoT. Organizations must also try looking beyond the perimeter, towards application self-protection and visualize it as a key step in application security.

5. Advanced, Pervasive and Invisible Analytics :
With the virtual world in full force, the inevitable data explosion would be omnipresent- from social media to wearables to information obtained from the IoT technology. As new forms of data becomes readily available, executives in the IT domain would actually have to think about transforming and managing data to suit their business requirements.

6. Smart Machines :
As the latest prediction goes, the most disruptive technology in the history is going to be the advent of smart machines that are capable of learning for themselves and act autonomously. Think of new age machine helpers and here they come. From virtual customer assistants to self-driving cars and advanced robots with learning abilities, the evolution of smart machines will continue with changing times and needs.

7. Cloud/Client Computing :
The main focus is now shifting towards putting in place its mobile and cloud strategies this can only make all tables turn taciturn. The brand new IT world emerges with cloud as its coordination point with the key being management of application states and content across several disparate devices. Clearly, IT must focus putting together its mobile and cloud strategies with those applications designed specifically for the cloud.

8. 3D Printing :
By the beginning of 2017 the 3D printing enterprise would see an unequivocal rise in worldwide shipments, a growth of nearly 98 percent as predicted. With the market for low-cost 3D printing devices seeing a surge, it remains to be seen how this technology can foster cost savings and innovations in any enterprise.

9. Web Scale – IT :
The foundation of the enterprise digital future is going to be Web-scale IT. To deliver the capabilities of big cloud service providers, Web-scale IT, a global-class computing that delivers all those capabilities within the business IT setting. Emerging movements and technologies involve many new ways of coding and thinking, as well as learning web architecture.

10. Context-rich systems :
Personal assistants like Siri, Google Now or Cortana, along with other such applications, are already surging ahead in the race to bridge the gap between user experience platform and contextual information. Creating a dynamic user experience based on a set of predefined contexts to pull data from, for their businesses will be a challenge for all organizations.

So what do you think would be the most productive, innovative yet unsettling new technology trend to your organization in the years to come by? Probably, the best way out is always through …

Dear Readers,

Telematics is one of the most rapidly emerging sectors in India. Driven by factors such as the increase in the number of accidents, rising vehicle thefts and the demand for navigation services, it has the potential to expand and be a source of huge R&D implementation, if developed in the right stride. Although the Indian telematics market is in relatively early stage, it offers wide scope for the automobile industry to flourish. The integration of m2m telematics applications helps the automobile industry in various ways, e.g. a lower number of road rages, vehicle tracking and many others.

Last couple of years have seen an alarming increase in the number of vehicles that are observed on the roads all over the world. This progress has come along with its pitfalls though; steep rise in accidental deaths and damages to property, to name a few. Making roads safer and technology smarter is one big concern and has already seen many initiatives taken in this regard, to enhance a transport system that can interact with mobile traffic and pedestrians alike. Once the driver is provided with necessary vehicle technology information to the driver, potential accidents can be avoided, several technology-based products have been developed. The latest technology researchers are working on is based on Internet of Things (IoT).

The growth of telematics sector in many developing and developed countries can be broadly clubbed into four service areas: navigation, safety, information and remote diagnostics. Indian automobile industry is one of the most vibrant industries and contributes to a large percentage of the country’s manufacturing capacity. Aided by favourable government policies and subsequent economic growth, it is quite likely that this industry is going to expand by leaps and bounds.

Many companies have started realizing that it is not just about monitoring, but also about achieving transparency in business efficiency and processes. Considering fleet management, telematics plays an important role as drivers and vehicles can be tracked throughout the journey. A large portion of the total telematics market is captured by vehicular tracking and fleet management has captured.

Large amounts of data can be processed in real time in automotive telematics and information can be gathered at even when the vehicle is on the go. Applications can help decrease the number of road accidents and damage to vehicles. Live traffic updates, smart routing and tracking or roadside assistance in case of breakdowns can make life a lot easier for urban commuters. The demography of India provides an excellent opportunity for the deployment of the telematics solutions that improve safety and efficiency. All this digital impact on transportation would lead to a better planned traffic scenario with reduced casualties .

Keep tuned to this space for more!
