Optimum Implementation Timeline
By 2017
Trend
Mobility
Why is it a trend?
“A seamless shift between computing

Trend
Big Data = Big Problems
Why is it a trend?
Big Data is static and organizations are seeking to connect the ability to
manage data and use data.
Considerations for Health Care Organizations
• The longer you ignore “Big Data,” the worse it gets• Evaluate data input and eliminate duplication for consistency and waste elimination• Segment and prioritize core data needs
Optimum Implementation Timeline
Through 2015
Trend
Bye-ByeService
Deals
Why is it a trend?
Real-time service is expected and “crowd-sourcing” is becoming
prevalent.

Optimum Implementation Timeline
Through 2015
TrendVirtual-and-Software-
Defined Networks
Why is it a trend?
Increased automation and agility coupled with simplified
design and policy-based/network
management.
Considerations for Health Care Organizations
• There will be an increase in change of processes and interactions• This includes patient interaction through systems
