Emerging Technology
1) Consider this list as it relates to systems analysis and design (SAD):
- descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive analytics: emerging, growing, or influential methods
- analytics competency centers, business intelligence competency centers, or similarly structured entities or groups
- cloud computing (PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, DaaS, or AaaS)
- Hadoop or a similar emerging, growing, or influential method of advanced data management
- blockchains
2) Choose one item from one category in this list.
For example, if you chose the last item in the list, blockchains, a particular type of blockchain within this area is hyperledger. *Do not use this example in your post.
3) Discuss the following about the one item you chose:
- Do you think it is a good addition or complement to similar methods regarding SAD? Why or why not?
- What does this technology add to SAD? (In other words, what does it do for the community? What is it? How do you use it?)
- What evidence (external sources) suggests what you are discussing is emerging, new, or influential in the SAD today?
