Five
Trends that will Shape IT Decisions in 2014
- Christopher Papa, Country Manager,
Dell Philippines
What’s the
next big IT trend? This question is often asked in meetings with business
leaders and CIOs. Customers want to know how they can leverage these trends, as
well as how they can address any challenges. These trends, including the
explosion of data, cloud computing and the multitude of personal devices on the
corporate network, are fast changing the way organizations traditionally manage
their business. The challenges and opportunities are more apparent than ever
before, and look set to drive IT and business decisions in the coming year.
At Dell, we
are uniquely positioned to help customers address any challenges and deliver
real value to businesses with our end-to-end IT solutions and services. Through
four key themes, Transform, Connect, Inform and Protect, we hope to help customers improve
their IT agility through transformation in the data center; increase
productivity by enabling the next generation workforce to connect securely to
the corporate data anywhere, anytime and on any device; gain control of the
data deluge and use this information to gain competitive advantage; and protect
their organization from external or internal IT security threats. These themes
will become even more relevant in 2014 as we encounter further impact from cloud
computing, BYOD, social media, big data analytics and security.
