The power of knowledge
Intelligent business software increasingly knows more about you, your role in the organization, and the way you work best. But how does context-aware IT affect the way organizations design and deploy software? What’s the impact of applications and networks that “know” things about users – on enterprises, their workers, and user privacy?
Technology experts explore these issues and more in the latest issue of Horizons by SAP, sponsored by the New Ventures and Technologies organization.
What are context-aware systems?
Innovative IT technologies combine user-created data, information about user situations and constraints, and external enterprise data to deliver an optimized user experience. Using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to enrich decision-making with context, these solutions can amplify and augment human output.
