Have you heard of this phrase yet? The Application Economy is everywhere. It is an energy field created by all living things...it surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together....OK, maybe I am taking power of The Application Economy too far there...
I asked my 10 year old the other day if he could tell me what "The Application Economy" is...and he gave me a pretty good answer. All 10 year olds know what an "app" is because their iPads are never more than an arms length away... and hey, they are actually teaching economics in the 4th grade now. He told me that the application economy is how people make money by selling apps or things through the app....from the mouths of babes.
Now I am not going to waste my initial blog by telling you how Uber, Amazon or Yelp are good examples of The Application Economy. Or how VRBO manages more than a million reservations with 1500 employees while Marriott does the same with 200,000 employees. If you are reading my blog to learn that, we all have problems. No...instead, we all need to think about the future...of The Application Economy and how it will affect all of our personal lives and if you are working in the technology world, our careers.
One example of the future of The Application Economy is happening in Van Buren Township, MI...home of automotive supplier, Visteon. While we all await the arrival of the autonomous car, Visteon is currently developing a platform that will allow a car owner to customize the dashboard in his or her car. You will be able to custom create the layout and functions of your car dashboard including apps that you can interact with, just like your phone. You will be able to download thousands of 3rd party apps, giving E-commerce a whole new world. The future of the Application Economy will be in your car...
Make sure to visit my blog in the future where I will tell you more about how global technology companies like CA Technologies are helping companies get their apps to market faster with higher quality and speed and how the data center is more important than ever.
By the way, that 10 year old that I was telling you about earlier..is also coding on his iPad. Watch out world...
