2. There is explosive growth in web enabled mobile devices and in mobile content consumption especially where land line connections are limited. Reports show more smart phones will ship worldwide in 2011 than laptops and PCs combined with that market exploding to an 80% adoption rate by 2015.
3. Gartner states most companies are leveraging about 10% of the computing resources available them via their own infrastructure (owned and managed infrastructure is not optimized). Therefore there is huge movement to ?cloud? infrastructure so you pay for what you use and nothing more. Further lowering cap X costs and costs surrounding the management of infrastructure.
In all things have never been better when it comes to the management of content and web assets as well as the ability to meet the user's experience however, most are still sitting on tons of old content in membership sites that are fading.
To paraphrase Will Rogers, find where you users are going and get their first.
