The 21st century, which we are now 16 years into, has certainly been marked by rapid and important changes in most work environments. And we are not even talking about our transportation, our social lives, our entertainment, or our nutritional habits. How can Office 365 and Adaris Technologies help you navigate these unavoidable changes?
Whether they are new start-ups or have been around a long time, organizations that have not yet adopted these new productivity tools, these new ways to collaborate and work, of managing projects and sharing information, may not be around by 2030. Perhaps even sooner if they are not so lucky!
There are global indications that by 2030, computers will be more intelligent than humans. Just consider artificial intelligence: we now know that computers are exponentially better at understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected. In the U.S., young lawyers are having a hard time finding work because computers like IBM’s Watson can provide legal advice, for more or less complex cases, within seconds, and this with 90% accuracy, compared to 70% for humans. Watson can already diagnose cancer cases with 4 times more precision than humans. Facebook has developed face recognition software that is superior to human ability.
If this all sounds scary, rest assured that we are not yet living in a science-fiction movie! But these things are real and progressing at a dizzying speed.
Humans still count…
For today’s business owners who want to see their organizations survive, or even grow, they must provide the means for their users to work better, to be able to collaborate, to be able to easily create and share information, all in an open yet secure environment for the organization. These users need & want to be able to access all this information from anywhere, on any device.
