Next Generation Technologies

New technologies may offer clients future business opportunities, or they may present competitive challenges to current businesses. As an extreme form of innovation, the development and exploitation of entirely new technologies may bring a payback in the long term only. For the nearer term, companies can innovate by exploring how changes in existing technologies might open the door to new market segments. Although most activity in the different areas that Next-Generation Technologies covers is still in research and development laboratories, the potential opportunities that these technologies represent are significant enough to warrant immediate attention. With a focus on commercialization of the technologies, Next-Generation Technologies provides clients with insights and intelligence to help them make critical technology-related business and policy decisions.

Each next-generation technology area in this report comprises a structured Technology Map and its integral charts, which offer a logical comprehensive guide to the many commercial development parameters, issues, and uncertainties behind successful technology commercialization, together with a review of the commercial implications of significant developments and likely applications. Next-Generation Technologies delivers its intelligence through an interactive consultation service, updated Technology Maps, and a monthly bulletin, Viewpoints, in which analysts examine the significance of change and evaluate worldwide developments and their implications for global business.

Global IT Consultancy (GITC) analysts continuously monitor and evaluate a wide range of next-generation technologies and will change the mix of technologies in Next-Generation Technologies reports periodically to reflect new developments and respond to clients' interests. Each month's Viewpoints will address one or more next-generation technology, from the current different technologies in the Technology Maps or from other technologies that we think could be significant to clients' businesses.
