Building a Smart City

A highly connected and immersive take of relations from different objects and areas is needed to efficiently manage data and even the resources of the city. From changing the regulator of light post to properly management of waste disposal, Newman said that a proper use of sensors and devices incorporated from one place to another seamlessly will properly manage incoming and regulate data.

The next “big thing”?

One of the hottest terms in the tech industry, IT experts and leaders believed that blockchain will be the next “big thing” after the internet in the business industry.

Defined as a shared, incorruptible, permissioned ledger with consensus and immutability, blockchain allows users to transact in a shared ecosystem and create permanent records of transactions.  With today’s landscape of transactions, appropriate data management and data storage plays a big role in the business.

A few steps behind

On a holistic point-of-view, experts and leaders of the tech industry expressed that the world is still not yet prepared to embrace the concept of digital transformation. In a research study, we are nearing 20 trillion gigabytes of data all over the cyber space, which an alarming huge number of professionals believe we are not yet capable of managing and securing.

We are still a few steps behind to completely foster the idea of digital transformation, that is why we need to deal with the challenges one step at a time.
