New Internet trends show us a road where speed and costs are the most valuable benefits for companies as well as small businesses. We will go through some of these trends:
In the next years we will see dynamic changes in the market of mobile devices, which in its expansion have exceeded the PDA's, and to a lesser extent the cameras or even music or mp3 players because of its high computational capacity and versatility getting the functionality of various devices in a single gadget. Following this powerful trend, smartphones, tablets, game consoles -even over the use of notebooks- are becoming highly used allowing us to connect to the internet anywhere at anytime.
The rise of Cloud Computing is imminent, following this logic: at first we had products sold separately with their respective licenses - software and applications - that demanded specific hardware for data storage. The Internet is becoming a basic service, such as electricity, that is outsourced and paid for usage delegating use, problems and requirements to third party platforms far more robust and diverse as Google, Microsoft, HP, IBM or Amazon. One of the many advantages of this handing over is that it allows your IT department be more focused on developing revenue-generating applications, instead of spending 60% of their time in equipment and system maintenance.
Server transfers (powerful computers that provide services to other computers called clients), administration and management is another important change that companies are making in their organizations. This creates large savings in infrastructure, software and maintenance, quick change of "hardware" when necessary - just to click the option to upgrade the account - also making costs predictable, paying a regular fee for user and usage type. Eliminating this way unforeseen expenses, such as those who come for a sudden server error, a ruthless attack by a virus or even natural disasters and keeping your information secure, distributed on different servers around the world without suffering significant data losses.
In addition, mobile internet will soon increase its speed with the arrival of 4G technologies making it almost omnipresent, connecting from a mobile network will become similar to a fixed connection with 1GB per second speed. Google estimates that in the near future, cities and populations will have internet access everywhere through Wi-Fi and WiMax networks with reasonable costs.
There will be a significant growth in apps to increase employee productivity and business report systems, supported in the growth of smartphones and mobile devices, capable of delivering applications with a faster connection. Employees will not have to go to a cabin, write updates on a paper or report and then connect through a PC and enter the day's work to a system offline, everything will be done on their mobiles.
Finally, Peru is aware of all these changes, there are certain technological limitations in the internet speed and fiber optics, but those are problems that will be solved eventually, now trends that come to our country become strong and are adopted quickly by companies, to discover their benefits. Companies like Xcode are capable of developing mobile and web applications as well as custom software friendly with “cloud computing”, putting us at the forefront of IT and the stronger and dominant business trends now a day.
