The world has gone digital and there will be 30 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020. This means that businesses of all sizes need to create compelling digital strategies that improve interactions with customers.
GE Australia CIO Mark Sheppard has pitched the creation of a local ‘software centre of excellence’ to GE's global CEO, Jeff Immelt, as part of a process of the conglomerate devolving more software development to regional subsidiaries.
By 2020, 50 billion machines will be connected to the Internet and will be able to communicate with each other. That's a prediction the CEO of GE Australia, Steve Sargent, is backing, adding there’s a lot of untapped opportunity that infrastructure and technology organisations can take advantage of.
