Technology trends that revolutionize the business world
Technology trends show that almost 3 billion people, which accounts for 40 percent of the total population in the world, are using the Internet today.
Complex business practices can be simplified with smart technology integration. This is the reason today both small and large business corporations are keeping abreast of the latest technology trends. New integrated technologies have helped small businesses from various industries to grow and reach out to a vast pool of audience in a very cost effective way.
Impact of mobile technology trends
For example, mobile technology has revolutionized the business world. A relatively new survey and research conducted by AT&T and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council showed that the use of mobile apps helps business owners save 600 million hours per year. Mobile phones, smartphones and tablets help owners save around $67.5 billion annually. Startups now have more opportunities to thrive. This is a good reason every business should try to be digital-friendly these days.
Technology is shaping the business world with enhanced innovations
Mary Meeker, an analyst from the Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, predicted it long back. It was 2008 when she said that mobile will overtake free internet access by the year 2014.
Here is another fact. According to Smart Insights, a research company, almost 3 billion people, which accounts for 40 percent of the total population in the world, are using the internet today. This clearly signifies that mobile technology is one of the latest and most important technology trends these days. So businesses that still do not prioritize internet mobile communications and corporate technology are losing most of the lucrative opportunities and growth potentials.
