Our lives are undergoing dramatic changes: to fully utilize
our abilities and achieve our personal and professional goals, we design and
maintain digital profiles as means of self-expression, knowledge sharing and
connecting to others on social networks. All of this is cloud-based with
Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Linkedin, Meetup,
Apple iCloud, Google Music, Amazon Cloud Player, Netflix Video
on-Demand, world TV and more, attesting
to this new reality.
We are moving towards or might have already arrived at a
mobile and digital society that expects real-time, 24/7 services such as
on-demand digital media and content; a society that is defined by knowledge
sharing and exchange, accompanied and fueled by unstoppable innovation.
Consequently the software industry is shifting from products
to services, and business models are constantly being modified to accommodate a
new cloud economy. This IGT Cloud Summit will investigate the challenges and
opportunities of the universal cloud – which is nothing less than the backbone
of our changing society and will enable industry, ISVs, media and services to
fulfill the new demands and expectations of people.
