New Event - TECH TALKS on Campus!
Technology changes are all around us, and coming faster than ever. But no longer are we waiting and wondering how the latest digital technology innovations will change things; rather, we’re taking control and shaping technology to fit our needs.
Every year, our Technology Vision team partners with Accenture Research to pinpoint the 5 emerging IT developments that will have the greatest impact on companies, government agencies, and other organizations in the next three to five years. From this, ccenture’s Technology Vision is devised.
An Accenture lead will be on campus to discuss some of 2017’s Technology Vision findings on Friday 31st March @ 3pm at Medical Sciences Building, North Haugh.
