In the new computing age of engagement, the world of data expands beyond transaction data in database applications and in cloud services to include interaction data in social media, in mobile apps and in the Internet of Things (IoT). Today, our greatest challenge is managing and making sense out of this data. In order to tackle this challenge and build data-ready organizations, companies need to first understand the four technology trends that are disrupting the computing platform.

The four trends include the following:

  1. The economics of cloud is disrupting the computing infrastructure.
  2. The diversity of social media and the Internet of Things are disrupting the data infrastructure.
  3. The richness of big data is disrupting the analytics infrastructure.
  4. The perimeter-less world of pervasive computing is disrupting the security infrastructure.

Each disruptive trend opens up an exciting new opportunity: hybrid cloud integration, next-generation data integration, Internet of master data and data security intelligence. Informatica is embracing these opportunities by revealing key innovations, including: Project Atlantic for cloud integration, Project Sonoma and Rev for next-generation data integration and preparation, Social360 for the Internet of master data and Secure@Source for data security intelligence and analytics.
