Star Wars
Overview
A beneficial economic climate enables R&D investment and encourages emergent innovation. Enterprise IT corporations are mainly headquartered in the northern hemisphere (Oracle, SAP, Microsoft etc.) but this will shift to the BRIC countries. In time, the economic climate will transform into a global collaborative economy where the BRIC countries will emerge to become main protagonists. Within two to three years the emerging Cloud computing phenomenon will affect enterprise IT software in a myriad of unthinkable ways. Legacy is a major problem in organizations that employ enterprise IT. Cloud computing and Model driven development will be employed to counteract asphyxiating legacy.
