Assignment: Examine Cutting-Edge Technology

Instructions

For this assignment, research cutting-edge technologies in the area of databases, data management, big data, business intelligence, cloud technology, etc.

You should assume that you are presenting to the management group at your company, with the intention of having them adopt the technology for one of their products. If you do not currently work for an organization, you may develop a hypothetical situation.

Choose one cutting-edge technology and research it in depth. This technology must be cutting edge and, therefore, should not yet have wide adoption in the industry.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation, in which you do the following:

    1. Identify the new technology and provide a comprehensive discussion of the new
        technologys functionality.

    2. Discuss the new technologys advantages and disadvantages.

    3. Discuss the evolution of technology. Contrast its current functionality with the
        functionality of its predecessors.

    4. Evaluate the new technology in terms of the business solutions that it would
        potentially address.

Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 12 slides, not including title and reference slides
