Every organization/ workplace is unique. There is no debate
on the fact that technologies enable
organizations to move forward with efficiency and effectiveness in whatever
stage the organization could be.
Social, mobile, cloud and data analytics cannot be dismissed
as yet another cycle for the role of technologies. When technologies themselves
transform to the stage that businesses can internalize their processes with
technologies, new thinking arises that can bring change with unforeseen opportunities.
What could be the role of the convergence of these
technologies to the enterprise?
At each step of the process and stage of the product life
cycle, questions can be asked how specific can it get to with technologies to
serve the customer. What has been done at the workplace can be seen as a
prototype for the last 50 – 60 years with software technologies. Now is the time to get to
details and more specific for the new digital workplace.
Key opportunities exist
for the social workplace with applications over the platform and social as the
layer. This requires planning for turning things in silos to putting them to
use smartly for the employees, consumers and at the workplace. There is much to
experiment, fail and try again in order to look for effectiveness in the
digital workplace
