Information and communications technology (ICT) is witnessing a historic step which has been creating the 5th trend characterized by “S.M.A.C”

S.M.A.C S.M.A.C is the keyword that will change the ICT sector in the near future. This term is comprised of: :

• Social: Social

• Mobile: Mobile devices

• Analytics: Analytics

• Cloud:

From 2012-2015, Mobility and Analytics will lead the remaining elements. The Internet of Things will dominate from 2015 to 2020. In the future, the economy will be a combination of the real world and the virtual world (Internet of Things) basing on S.M.A.C.

With the exponential growth of “Consumerization of IT” and the quantity of connected smart devices, S.M.A.C technologies will not only focus on computing power as the previous waves did, but also stick closely to each other to form an ecosystem enabling computers to “think” and increasingly move toward human thought.

Results from applying S.M.A.C technology

By 2020, with the dominance of the Internet of Things, there will have been 20 billioninternet connected devices, will be increased by 20 times (according to cognizant). Therefore, S.M.A.C will have a strong spillover for all businesses in the world.

S.M.A.C. is foundational technologies to implement smart services/solutions. According to Gartner, smart services make significant contributions to labor productivity:

• Increasing customer profitability by 6.2%

• Increasing ROA (Return on assets) by 2%

• Increasing ROE (Return on equity) by 6.8%

S.M.A.C. not only improves labor productivity, it also generates opportunities for businesses to develop new business models, helping them improve their positions by expanding their range of smart solutions.

S.M.A.C makes a difference compared to the previous periods. That its components stick closely to each other will produce much more effect. The unity of S.M.A.C will form the foundation for connections among people, things and business models.

General orientation
