BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dragonfly Data Factory, a start-up which is developing the first Data Factory of its kind to build cloud-enabled, software-defined platform and products to harness the value in Big Data, today announced 5 technology predictions for 2015 from Founder and CEO Ram Pothula:
1. Sensors: Smarter and Everywhere
In 2014 the number of
interconnected sensors in existence exceeded the number of human beings.
2015 will mark an inflection point in which interconnected sensors
attached to either personal wearables or “smart” industrial equipment
will generate exponential amounts of data, causing major challenges for
companies looking to harness multi-sourced information for business
decisions.
2. Wearables Enter the Enterprise
The popularity of handheld
and wearable devices rose in 2014 due to the miniaturization of
technology. In 2015, wearables will move away from their current narrow
focus on consumer health and fitness applications into
enterprise-friendly devices, representing a significant shift. Using
wearables, leading companies will offer their customers and employees a
new level of experience, fostering greater customer loyalty and improved
business productivity towards monetization.
3. Digital World Conspicuously Drives our Physical World
New
data-driven applications will enter our daily lives that illustrate the
linkage between the digital world and the physical world. Data will
increasingly be linked to supporting systems and automated workflows
that in turn direct physical activity. We will grow more accustomed to
this linkage and it will increasingly become our natural expectation,
rather than something nice to have.
4. Data is an Asset
Big Data analytics will become the
baseline blueprint for innovative business models, especially for
Fortune 500 companies. Organizations will be able to capture both
employee and influencer data to help make key enterprise decisions.
However, success in this will only be achieved if companies are able to
coordinate cohesion between different functions and leverage Big Data
for success. To address this and use Big Data as a competitive
advantage, enterprises will need to ensure they have the best data
management possible and bridge the gap between disparate information
systems.
5. Data Understood as a Basic Need
Data will become
recognized as a basic enterprise need in 2015. Access to data already
determines how well individuals and organizations can perform, and the
Internet has made it even easier to generate, distribute and exchange
data and knowledge. 2014 saw open access and net neutrality questioned.
2015 will be marked by a boost in activism to maintain net neutrality
and the support of access to public data. Demand for personalized
experiences, driven by data, will become a basic expectation.
“It is especially important for those in fast-paced, technology-bound industries to reflect on developments that have emerged in the past year, helping to anticipate what is to come as we transition to 2015,” said Ram Pothula, Founder and CEO, Dragonfly Data Factory. “Following a year of major technology breakthroughs, we anticipate an eventful 2015. Dragonfly Data Factory is unique in that we are directly addressing business needs that are emerging from game-changing advances through the technology agnostic data factory concept.”
