Everything Elastic: Accenture Technology Vision 2010

Accenture has published a white paper setting out its technology vision for 2010. The focus is on what they call elasticity.

“Everything elastic” is proving to be a durable concept, whose influence is spreading thanks to the technological developments sketched above. Business executives—and CIOs in particular— should consider reshaping their thinking in line with this concept. The idea of elasticity—scalable, infinitely flexible, adaptive may be integrated into the very fabric of the business. Only then will high performance be achievable in this new market place.

The paper points to the growing importance of Cloud based systems, the increasing power of the internet and the expanding use of mobile and other units for internet interaction. all of these elements point to a significant change in the scope and power of the internet within business systems.
