Foster looks into IT crystal ball Wednesday
January 15, 2013
Journalists like me are always a sucker for trend stories. People expect a message of the future to emerge from analysis, and IT consumers look farther ahead into the future than most buyers. You're expected to be ready for change at the moment it occurs. I enjoy it when somebody else is doing the trending.
That's why it will be most interesting to see what Birket Foster and his team at MB Foster have to say about IT trends tomorrow, January 16, starting at 2 PM Eastern Time. This is the first Wednesday Webinar of the new year for the company. They're reaching out to predict what will happen in a wide array of 10 sectors:
- Virtualizing
- Mobile
- Big Data
- Architecture
- Social Media
- Analytics
- Integration
- Video
- Security
- Sustainability
Registration for the event is free, at the MB Foster website. The webinars usually take less than an hour, including questions and answer sessions.
