Five ways the software changed forever – Computerworld Portugal

If have not already, you can be sure that analytical skills are getting to application near you.

During the year 2015 there were major changes in key software applications and tools used by businesses every day. Some promise to have a particularly lasting impact and stand out five.

As at home

If Compare-business software tools of today with those of only a year or two and can not help but notice a striking difference:. the user experience

The current software is increasingly shifting towards paradigms and consumer world features, particularly of smartphones and mobile computing.

The interfaces are much simpler, the features of social interaction are ubiquitous and imitate those we are familiar with in our personal lives. And everything tends to be designed for mobility.

Analytics for all

Another ubiquitous component that was not there before is analytical. The analytical capabilities are being democratized and if anyone does not have them yet available, you can be sure that they are about to reach a next application.

Business users tend to longer need to ask the department IT or begging for time with a highly trained analyst. Instead, there are already many available analytical tools, giving the power to target data and plumb them as will be understood. In many ways, it also brings potential risks.

Big Data and moreover

Even the data have changed dramatically and force even more changes in the software business. The word has represented figures as “units sold” in a relational database. But now exceeds that and it’s different.

Not only have large volumes of data, but also qualitative elements, unstructured data flow causing major changes in both databases as the approaches to them.

And the network of things

Data Flow? Yes, there’s biggest vendor of the current elements of the Internet of Things (IoT). And enterprise software is increasingly developed to accommodate this “fluid” continuous and make it accessible for analysis.

Machine Learning increasingly emerges

The term “machine learning” is emerging with increasing frequency in the world of enterprise software. Has started to enrich the software tools with new capabilities and it seems fairly certain that there is much more to show up. The year 2016 will be even richer in this area.
