the Anywhere revolution

It's coming--a change so profound and sweeping that it will affect us culturally, intellectually and economically. This change will impact more people in more places worldwide than even the Internet has to date.

Picture a world standing at the convergence of three vital technological developments--digital communications, broadband Internet access and ubiquitous wireless networks. A world where everyone is constantly connected to everything that matters to them. A world where time and place are largely irrelevant. A world where multimillion-dollar businesses blossom, seemingly overnight, and a $1 trillion economy comes into being by 2013.

Yankee Group calls this the Anywhere revolution.

Because of its momentum, we believe Anywhere will dwarf virtually every technology advance that came before it and will leave those who are not ready for it adrift in its wake. While most technology change is evolutionary, Anywhere--as we envision it--will be truly revolutionary.

Who needs to understand the profound effects of Anywhere? Only those with an instinct to survive. Revolutions crown new kings, and Anywhere is already reshaping the fortunes of the connectivity industry. Other areas will follow: media, financial services, transportation and more.

Yankee Group clients span the globe and include network users, builders and operators--the people who are driving the Anywhere revolution.

Enterprise usersEnterprises need to see and understand how changes in global connectivity can affect their business, open up new markets and drive new revenue streams.

 

Network operatorsNetwork operators need to develop new business strategies that allow them to stay relevant to their customers while overcoming high costs, increased competition, increasingly tough regulations and other hurdles.

 

Network buildersNetwork builders need to redefine their tactics and choose technologies that will keep them competitive and land them on the winning side of the Anywhere revolution.

 

Don't be left behind. Organizations and leaders who step up to this revolution, rather than step back, can succeed amid the phenomenal transformations and economic opportunities it will bring.
