Social Media, Mobile Technology And Cloud Converging

The availability of information, which drives social, mobile and cloud technologies, is the connective tissue in this Nexus of Forces.

As the realms of social media, cloud computing, mobile technology and the ubiquity of information are converging to form a “Nexus of Forces” that will build upon and transform user behavior, creating new business opportunities as it grows, according to a report from IT research firm Gartner. As the consumerization of IT, a result of the availability of excellent devices, interfaces and applications with minimal learning curves, drives the use of these four realms, together they are revolutionizing business and society, disrupting old business models and creating new leaders, the report said.
