Executive opinion

June 2006

On track for openness and convergence
Today, information technology is entering a new cycle of innovation and transformation. I don’t intend to reiterate the far-reaching impact that the Internet is having on the on-going transformation of information systems and our way of life. Rather, I would like to highlight the latest undercurrent created by the convergence of information technologies and telecommunications, which will inevitably reshape the whole business landscape.
