HOW…

How do organizations plan for this inevitable

event?

How will this impact current software products

used by corporations, students, and others?

ORGANIZATIONS AND THE

OBSOLETE PC

Replace instead of upgrade

May be costly

In the long run, more effective

Research

What new technology is upcoming?

What will be most beneficial to company?

SOFTWARE MAKERS AND THE

OBSOLETE PC

Computer software will eventually be obsolete

just like the PC

When software upgrades, the old versions are

no longer useful

Eventually all forms of software will become

unnecessary

Companies that are able to adapt to the rapid

advancements in technology and use them to

their advantage.

Motorola and Google are excellent examples

that have grown substantially from

investments in the smartphones and the

docks.

These companies make technology

fast, accessible, and convenient for their

customers.

Companies that fall behind and miss out on

the opportunities that technology has to offer.

Microsoft for example just recently planned to

collaborate with Nokia to develop a

smartphone.

This is a good step for Microsoft but

considering the efforts that other companies

have made previously, it may be too late.
