With increasing frequency, this assertion seems to find its way into commentary addressing the state of technology. Recent advances have made the leap from what is typically characterized as interesting or cool to what can only be described as mind-blowing. Pick your science fiction reference – whether The Jetsons, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Minority Report, to name a few, and it’s not hard to see what was once considered futuristic technology all around us. CompTIA’s scan of the technology landscape points to another year of innovation, growth, and of course, a few surprises.  \nA notable milestone was recently attained. For the first time ever, the five most valuable companies in the world were all technology companies. While stock market valuations should be taken with a grain of salt, it did mean technology supplanted the behemoths of the energy, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.  \nBy just about every measure, technology continues to shape the world around us in evermore interesting and sometimes unsettling ways. With the groundwork of cloud, mobility, data and connectivity laid, the year ahead will see evolutionary advances on many fronts. Digital business transformation remains a driving force for small and large enterprises alike. Those playing catch-up will face growing and potentially new forms of competitive pressures, while those on the right path will have the opportunity to explore advances in areas such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, the internet of things, and inevitably, a few unexpected breakthroughs.  \nComplementing the innovation pipeline is a sense of optimism heading into 2017. CompTIA’s Q1 IT Industry Business Confidence reached a new high, signaling an economy on solid footing and a positive outlook among IT industry executives.  \nCompTIA projects global IT industry growth of 4.1 percent in 2017. If this growth materializes, it will push the $3 .4 trillion global IT industry past the $3 .5 trillion mark1 by year’s end  \nTECHNOLOGY TRENDS  \n1 The Tools of the Cloud Era Emerge  \n2 Security Gets Worse Before It Gets Better  \n3 Data Teams Bridge the Gap Between IT and Business  \nIoT Transforms Physical Environments and Social  \n4  \nConvention  \nCHANNEL TRENDS  \n5  \nNew Faces in the Channel Test Traditional Go-to  \nMarket Approaches  \n6 Mandate Coming to Retool Partner Programs  \n An Aging Channel Community Hastens Need to Find New Blood  \n8 Opportunity Spikes in Cloud Management Arena  \nWORKFORCE TRENDS  \n Workers Push the Boundaries of ‘Bring Your Own Collaboration’  \n10 The Blended Workforce Takes on New Meaning  \nDebate Intensifies Over Technology’s Impact on  \n11  \nEmployment  \nSkills Gap Grows in Scope and Nuance, Forcing  \n12  \nOrganizations to Rethink Workforce Strategies  \nCopyright (c) 2017 CompTIA Properties, LLC, All Rights Reserved | [CompTIA.org](CompTIA.org) | [research@comptia.org](research@comptia.org)  \nTECHNOLOGY TRENDS  \nThe Tools of the Cloud Era Emerge  \nCompTIA has described the evolution of IT in three stages: the mainframe era, the PC/Internet era, and the cloud/mobile era. There are many factors that define distinct eras, but the end result is a new foundational platform that supports new tools and techniques. Moving forward, new elements built from a cloud mindset will play larger roles. Software-defined components will lead to hyperconverged infrastructure. Blockchain will redefine database architecture. Artificial intelligence will provide a new layer for technology interaction. These changes, as with cloud, are primarily focused on the backend and will see initial adoption at the enterprise level before moving downstream into the SMB space. For all companies, though, the technology stack is growing, and there will be additional work in figuring out how to integrate the necessary pieces of a","cbCaib0avSnh8AcM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib0avSnh8AcM","pdf",5608343,21,"English","# Technology Trends\n## The Tools of the Cloud Era Emerge\n## Security Gets Worse Before It Gets Better\n## Data Teams Bridge the Gap Between IT and Business\n## IoT Transforms Physical Environments and Social Conventions\n# Channel Trends\n## New Faces in the Channel Test Traditional Go-to Market Approaches\n## Mandate Coming to Retool Partner Programs\n## An Aging Channel Community Hastens Need to Find New Blood\n## Opportunity Spikes in Cloud Management Arena\n# Workforce Trends\n## Workers Push the Boundaries of ‘Bring Your Own Collaboration’\n## The Blended Workforce Takes on New Meaning\n## Debate Intensifies Over Technology’s Impact on Employment\n## Skills Gap Grows in Scope and Nuance, Forcing Organizations to Rethink Workforce Strategies","[{\"question\":\"What main drivers are expected to shape the IT industry in 2017?\",\"answer\":\"The report points to foundational work already laid in cloud, mobility, data, and connectivity.
