4. Summary Of the article
What can the world of technology teach the world of business ?
Some basics that any business would be wise not to ignore:
• Technology is updating all the time. Stay interested.
• Innovation improves efficiency and that means greater
profits.
• Not clued up? Talk to someone who is: there is help out there.
• Forget the fear, new technology is there for everyone: move
forward with it.
5. Ideas are huge sellers.
Intelligence is exported.
No need to fear.
Innovation can cut costs.
Ideas in unlikely places.
7. How does Technology improve a Business ?
Every business organisation has a Vision, Missio and a set of
Key Business Objectives :
• A Vision – an aspiration – a statement that describes what
the business intends to become
• A Mission – a statement that describes the purpose of the
business
• Key Business Objectives (K.B.O) – a summary of goals the
business intends to achieve, which can be further distilled to
determine its corporate and operational strategies

8. Technology just like other tools will serve as a
means to an already defined end. The role of
technology in this case will be to provide
necessary support that will aid the business in
achieving its stated goals and objectives.
Technology that attempts to alter a business’s
vision, mission and K.B.Os may be considered
detrimental to the business. This is because
technology is made for the business and not the
business for technology.
8
9. It is therefore imperative that the Vision, Mission and K.B.O of any
business be first defined before making any technological investment. When
clearly defined, they in-turn aid the business in determining the “WHATS”
and “WHYS” of technology.

10. The biggest trends in Business for 2013 :
The rise of Bid data
• According to IBM, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are
born every day (enough to fill more than 531 million
DVDs), and 90 percent of the world's digital
information was produced over the last two years.
• By 2020, the annual data-generation rate will
balloon 4,300 percent to 35 zettabytes of intelligence,
according to Falls Church, Va.-based Computer
Sciences Corporation. (That's 7.35 trillion DVDs, in
case you're keeping track).

12. The workspace of the future
• Wondering about the office of the future? It might
take more imagination than you think.
• Several developments have facilitated the rise of a
virtual workplace. Nearly 6 million Americans work
from home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Cloud computing enables data backups and remote
collaboration in real time.
