| [Local Briefing Agenda] |
Further to the above announcement, Gartner
Local Briefing was held in Seoul, Korea on 22nd February. Thankfully James and
I were invited and had great time at the event. The briefing was very
informative and breakfast there was so nice. As far as I remember, last year’s
local briefing was also held here:)

| [Introduction to today's speakers] |
The briefing consists of two sessions: session 1 - Top 10 Predicts and Strategic Technologies for 2017 by Werner Goertz, Research Director; session 2 - The 2017 CIO Agenda: Seizing The Digital Ecosystem Opportunity by Andy Rowsell-Jones, Research VP. I want to share some information I got from the first session.
1. By 2020, 30% of web browsing sessions will be done without a screen
AR games already prevailed and many people found Pokémon GO hip. Gartner predicts that one in five leading global retail brands deploy AR by the end of 2017, which means we need to deploy AR using various devices for shopping urgently
I found this one of interesting agendas. 5-6 years ago, quite many of people around me were bringing up mobile web, mobile apps but now Gartner says the number of branded apps will show growth declines by the end of this year. Mobile apps will expire soon and we need to build new progressive web apps and instant apps.

In conjunction with the above top 10
trends, Werner Goertz added as below.
1. By 2020, 30% of web browsing sessions will be done without a screen
AR games already prevailed and many people found Pokémon GO hip. Gartner predicts that one in five leading global retail brands deploy AR by the end of 2017, which means we need to deploy AR using various devices for shopping urgently
2. By 2020, 100 million shoppers will shop in Augmented Reality (AR)
We’re living in a world of “Voice-first” interactions. Conversational UX
and bot interactions will lead to machine learning. More and more people will
have conversations with bots than their spouse. As a married woman, I’ve
recently started feeling like we both love using Siri and talking about this
stuff quite much. My company I-ON Communications has also started to develop an
AI (Artificial Intelligence) based chatting service for customer service
providers.
3. 20% of brands will abandon their mobile apps by 2019
I found this one of interesting agendas. 5-6 years ago, quite many of people around me were bringing up mobile web, mobile apps but now Gartner says the number of branded apps will show growth declines by the end of this year. Mobile apps will expire soon and we need to build new progressive web apps and instant apps.
4. By 2020, algorithms will positively alter the behavior of billions of
global workers
With the advanced technology of AI, most people might be concerned on
how it will change their work. It is changing our work and life but according
to Gartner, it is in the positive way as algorithms will transform mundane
concepts into creative ones.
5. By 2022, a blockchain-based business will be worth $10 billion
Blockchain will help smart contracts by providing transparent access to
the information in the chain but Gartner says there are still significant
technology challenges exist.
6. By 2021, 20% of all activities in which an individual engages will
involve at least one of the top seven digital giants
Top severn digital giants are Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Baidu,
Alibaba and Tencent and Gartner predicts by 2018, at least two digital giant
brands per kitchen will be involved. Businesses in all sizes are recommended
that they respond to this by joining or competing with these giants’ platforms
and ecosystems.
7. Through 2019, every $1 that enterprise invest in innovation will require
and additional $7 in core execution
Werner Goertz calls today’s rapid digital change “Digital Storm” and he keep stressing that the secondary effects of the digital storm is more disruptive than the initial digital change. We should be prepared for the second investment when we plan for the first one.

8. By 2018, through 2020, IoT will increase data center storage demand by
less than 3%
This is the most interesting agenda to me. It’s been quite long time since ICT experts raised a topic “IoT” and people could learn from it that storage for IoT-generated data should be well equipped. But Gartner says the IoT-generated data is not collected. It is connected, detected and analyzed. The data will not be stored or retained but ALGORITHMS will determine what to keep, discard. So IoT data storage demand will not be increased as IoT technologies will.

9. By 2022, the IoT will save consumers and businesses $1 trillion a year
Gartner foresees predictive maintenance will save 10 to 20% over preventive maintenance. It is recommended we identify costs and target a 10% reduction with IoT.

10. By 2020, 40% of employees can cut their healthcare costs by wearing a fitness tracker
In today’s digital era, people especially in ICT industry are nowhere near physically active enough. Companies are trying to monitor employees’ health by making them wear fitness tracking devices. With the metrics from monitoring, companies can operate fitness programs and coaching, and in the long run, it will lead to lowering employee healthcare cost.

Werner Goertz finished his presentation by
giving us a mantra for the 21st century, “Make it
Digital, Make it Programmable and Make it Smart.”
Digital, Make it Programmable and Make it Smart.”
