    Connecting the Digital Lifestyle & Digital Work style:

    In today's society, consumers are looking more and more to bridge their work and home experiences across productivity and entertainment. In addition to seamless experiences with ICT, there is pressure for organizations to provide equivalent technologies that employees use in their home environment. These trends are redefining the way that society views productivity particularly in this uncertain economic environment. The next frontier for the power of software will bridge the digital lifestyle and work style through new user interface paradigms and cloud computing.
