Five elements that will forever change the world of software – Computerworld

Major changes in key software applications and tools used daily in corporate environment could be seen (and felt on the skin) over the year 2015. Some of these innovations came with the promise of a particularly lasting impact on systemic structures. Below, we highlight five of these elements.

The corporate tool is equal to domestic

It became increasingly evident the consumerization of impacts world of technology. The companies that make business management systems (ERP), for example, transformed the structure of their applications, which are already very different from that seen for two or three years. The goal: to provide a friendlier user experience

Currently, the software seek to respond to the needs brought from the BYOD movement and begin to incorporate elements easily assimilated seen in the world of domestic consumer.. This can be seen initially in his responsiveness for mobile devices, for example.

However, the change does not end there. The interfaces are much simpler, the features of social interaction are more present and navigation imitates familiar points the personal lives of employees.

Analysis everywhere

Another ubiquitous component that was not there before is the power of analysis. Analytical capabilities have been democratized and if anyone does not have them available in their routines, know that it is only a matter of time for this to happen in a future version of the application.

Corporate users have historically had to ask the IT department to export spreadsheets with statistical data. That changed dramatically in the recent past. The analytical tools become more accessible to executives of all departments in an organization, opening up new opportunities and business risks.

Data Explosion

Up the data have changed dramatically, and with the explosion in volume, yet force more changes in the structures and architectures of enterprise software. The big data requires a new approach that helps bring intelligence from all stored records. The flow of information, structured or unstructured, it will significantly impact the future of technology.

A network of things

Possibly nothing will affect more the enterprise software in the coming years than a term that has gained much strength in the recent past. Yes, we are talking about IoT (Internet of Things). Applications will, increasingly, to be developed and prepared to deal with a new (and giant and continuous) data stream that will need to be processed.

Intelligent machines

The term “machine learning” appears more frequently and influence the software of the universe. This feature is already being inserted and enriching computational tools in different areas. The evolution of artificial intelligence should gain a tremendous force from 2016, with more and more manufacturers entering such resources in their solutions.
