The big shifts
 All processes and content will be transformed from
physical and static to digital, mobile and virtual.

 The demand for simplicity, manageability and

adaptability will change how customers work and
organize, buy and use technology.

 It’s a horizontal, heterogeneous, networked world.

Standards are about connection and common
language.
