This paper is split into two parts. The first looks at why technology in 21st century business will require increases in raw power and scope. But this also includes how it will develop to become more adaptable to serve the needs of each individual user, as well as those of the enterprise as a whole. And, in the second part, we look at the enterprise IT ecosystem required to underpin the best of new and existing technology. We examine how technology must adapt to the facets of ‘being human,’ where employees are fully rounded human beings, not just part of an organisation’s workforce, but part of family, community and social groups too.
