The document discusses the transition to next generation enterprise platforms. It notes that connectivity is changing businesses economically, socially and technically. A new platform shift is emerging with trillions of devices, billions of users and millions of apps connected. Traditional hierarchical businesses are changing to become more flexible, adaptable and focused on knowledge sharing. By 2020, all apps are expected to be social and support collaborative decision making. This will lead to a long transition period to new componentized, cloud-based platforms that are context aware and support ad-hoc teams and decisions from any device at any time.
