Analysis of Four Dimensions of Future IT Development

IMPACT has always been one of the largest of IBM's meetings during the year. IMPACT 2012 is scheduled to be held in Las Vegas on April 30, Pacific Time, and the number of participants in this conference is expected to reach 9,000 this year. From the conference on the first day of the many strategic product launch and trend analysis can be seen, IBM is not just IMPACT Assembly carefully prepared, more importantly, the entire IBM on the future development of IT multi-dimensional, Three-dimensional thinking and direction demonstrated in front of us.

Dimension 1: Technological Impersonation for Business Innovation The opening speech of IMPACT 2012 was brought about by Walter Isaacson, a well-known biographical writer in the United States. Walter has published biographies of Einstein, Franklin and Kissinger, and his recent works It is "Steve Jobs Biography." Walter shares his generalization of these biographies as he concludes biographies by saying that business innovation has an irresistible charm for them and that technology is a tool and platform to help them innovate. Therefore, this year's Einstein, Franklin and Jobs as the "spokesperson" of the conference, IBM did not simply emphasize a product upgrade, but from the perspective of market demand. Keywords: innovation, change, growth, more is also describing the business, rather than a single technology or product.

As the IBM software product brand in the future application process, will gradually dilute and transform into the enterprise should have seven "soft" strength. But WebSphere will retain it as the only software product brand that holds its place in the marketplace. More importantly, WebSphere is still one of the core platforms, even when it comes to integrating the system's presentation with business requirements as its core. In the SOA as the main body, through MQ and BPM "two thighs" to optimize the process of messaging, performance and quality, business and IT to achieve the purpose of integration. The latest updates include WAS, Mobile Foundation, BPM, WebSphere MQ and more. In the following development dimensions, these products have an important manifestation.

Dimension 2: pureSystem reflects the ability to integrate IBM this year is the creation of the first 101 years, equivalent to the first year of the new millennium. The release of pureSystem opened the door to IBM's second centenary. PureSystem is also one of the most talked about topics at IMPACT 2012. PureSystem research and development lasted 4 years, costing nearly 2 billion US dollars, the outstanding performance is to provide enterprises with the ability to integrate. Rather than being a single product line marketing strategy, IBM's integration optimization platform + partners' industry practice capabilities are built into pureSystem to provide end-users with a low labor cost investment and a fast and efficient integrated system solution. Reduced the time it takes to deploy an edge performance platform from weeks to four hours.

pureSystem is an open platform in which IBM optimizes the infrastructure level through WAS and BPM, including data mining and analytics. Software and industry applications can be provided by partners and ISVs, and some users download best-of-breed industry best practices. The links between WebSphere MQ MQ effectively in series to ensure the accuracy and security of information transmission.

Dimensions 3: Expanding Emerging Markets Cloud, Mobile, Social, and Big Data were proposed at IMPACT 2012 as the new market areas for which IBM is going to focus on these aspects of E-Business. From the point of view of application-generated value , Can not do without Big Data. Watson, which IBM began preparing a few years ago, and BAO business analysis and optimization introduced in 2010, formed the technical accumulation and preparation for semantic analysis and data mining. For the retail industry, Smart Commerce and Lotus social commerce, Providing channel optimization solutions that impact the user's purchasing decisions; Massive data analytics, content management, and the interconnection of end devices and services behind the Mobile, Social application are all examples of IT technologies that create business value.

Dimension 4: Next-generation system optimization relies on industry characteristics Although there have been dazzling new announcements at IMPACT 2012, IBM is still committed to the next phase of making sure that as different industries continue to deepen, such as the financial industry, healthcare Industry and smart cities, next-generation products or the ability to deliver will be emphatically enhanced and optimized based on the characteristics of these different industries. According to the analysis of the above four dimensions, we can see that IBM has set a good roadmap for itself in one year, five years and ten years. This is IBM's usual style.
