ApplicaBons for Wearable Tech

Wearable technology pioneers: •  Google Glasses •  Nike Plus Bands •  Samsung Watch

ConnecBvity and Interoperability is going to get beEer and enhance capability. Wearable tech has just started. Nano Tech embedded inside humans is next.

Industries with immediate impact: •  Healthcare •  Entertainment •  Telecom

Big gap exists in developing enterprise apps for these industries who want to quickly adapt to these technologies. Consumer Apps will spike significantly just like when we adopted smartphones.

“Templated Enterprise Apps”

Enterprises Bred of sinking millions of dollars into large scale enterprise app deployments to then spend more millions on customizaBon, localizaBon and implementaBon. Millions of enterprises looking for SaaS and PaaS based enterprise apps specifically built for their industry /market.

Industries with immediate impact: •  Healthcare •  Entertainment •  Telecom •  Manufacturing

Big gap exists in developing scalable / one click install apps for these industries. AWS addresses only a part of this problem.


Real Time and SenBment AnalyBcs

SenBment analysis is the use of natural language processing, text analysis and computaBonal linguisBcs to idenBfy and extract subjecBve informaBon in source materials. Product companies have started to use some tools to understand what consumers are saying (expressing over the internet) about their product.

Largely untapped market with huge potenBal for web / mobile apps and or SaaS plaWorms. Companies in business: •  LexalyBcs •  TextalyBcs •  SenBMetrix •  TheySay •  SemanBcForce •  Converseon


Smart City and Smart Grid

With smart grids, ciBes can leapfrog into the heart of the future while simultaneously providing stability, reliability and efficiency for its uBlity infrastructure. Smart grids offer flexibility to match demand and supply of variable sources.


Smart City Vendors: •  IBM Smarter City •  Microso] City Next •  Oracle Smart City

Sectors Impacted: •  G2C PlaWorms •  UBliBes

Machine to Machine CommunicaBon (M2M)

M2M is about enabling the flow of data between machines and machines and ulBmately machines and people. Regardless of the type of machine or data, informaBon usually flows in the same general way -‐-‐ from a machine over a network, and then through a gateway to a system where it can be reviewed and acted on.

There are four basic stages that are common to just about every M2M applicaBon: 1.  CollecBon of data 2.  Transmission of selected data

through a communicaBon network

3.  Assessment of the data 4.  Response to the available

informaBon


3D Cameras / Printers / Projectors / Scanners

3-‐D prinBng, or addiBve manufacturing, has come a long way from its roots in the producBon of simple plasBc prototypes. Today, 3-‐D printers can not only handle materials ranging from Btanium to human carBlage but also produce fully funcBonal components, including complex mechanisms, baEeries, transistors, and LEDs.

Five 3-‐D prinBng disrupBons that we should begin preparing for. 1.  Accelerated product-‐

development cycles 2.  New manufacturing strategies

and footprints 3.  Shi]ing sources of profit 4.  New capabiliBes 5.  DisrupBve compeBtors
