Last week, we announced our upcoming tweet jam on Thursday, June 6 at 9:00 a.m. PT/12:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. BST, which will examine how convergent technologies such as Big Data, Social, Mobile and The Internet of Things are impacting today’s business operations. We will also discuss the opportunities available to those organizations who keep pace with this rapid pace of change and how they might take steps to get there.
The discussion will be moderated by Dana Gardner (@Dana_Gardner), ZDNet – Briefings Direct, and we welcome both members of The Open Group and interested participants alike to join the session.
The discussion will be guided by these five questions:
– Does your organization see a convergence of emerging technologies such as social networking, mobile, cloud and the internet of things?
– How has this convergence affected your business?
– Are these changes causing you to change your IT platform; if so how?
– How is the data created by this convergence affecting business models or how you make business decisions?
– What new IT capabilities are needed to support new business models and decision making?
To join the discussion, please follow the #ogp3 and #ogChat hashtag during the allotted discussion time.
