Cloud - unleashing a new wave of innovation that will transform business

In Maputo Mozambique, admiring the beauty of this amazing city.  The fact that I am here on work, i have to think about...work.  
It came to my mind that every decade we witness a major shift in technology.  Right now we are in the midst of an incredible revolution where the world is being shaped by convergence of mobile and social cloud computing.  Companies are looking for strategies to develop one-to-one relationship with customers.  

 I remember reading the word is flat by Friedman, inspired by the impact of globalisation, that the world is becoming more connected, right now technology allows us to connect everything together, and it is dramatically transforming the way we live and work.  Its a phenomenal time.

 Today, everything is changing again.  The devices, the networks, and even the computers we use to connect are all new.  Exciting new mobile and social clouds apps are delivered via powerful LTE wireless network to literally billion of connected computers.  Interestingly, these connected computers are not just the mobile phones, they are are our watches, cameras, cars (I wish), our refrigerators, and even our toothbrushes (as I was told).  In this new world, everything is connected on the network through cloud.  This is the third wave of computing, which will unleash a new wave of innovation that will transform businesses.

IoT consist of a complex ecosystem and will be delivered through partnership and collaboration – African perspective. When it comes to adopting technologies, Africa is often a unique market for obvious reasons i.e. lack of infrastructure and diverse economies.   Our uniqueness can make Africa an implementation frontier.  However Africa’s regional diversity requires different approaches to implementing IoT Solution.  The localisation of global use cases will be key to implementation in sectors like agriculture. Health care and logistics. Firstly lets us unpack IoT The discussions around IoT continue to dominate in all government and business platforms.  The prospect of a myriad of interconnected devices inspires both hope and fear.  For business, IoT promises to deliver operational efficiencies and enabling faster decision making.  Business leaders are also tackling the fears around skills and loss of jobs.  In the midst of that, many people still regard IoT as

The fourth Industrial Revolution

Introduction According to the World Economic Forum,  We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society. The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines betwee
