INNOVATION CAPACITY The DX economy operating at scale will be driven primarily by code. IOT IDC predicts the number devices on the IoT will more than double to 22 billion and drive the development of 200,000 new apps and solutions that take advantage of them.

AI Cognitive systems are already providing critical assistance to organizations dealing with the tsunami of data. Spending on cognitive software platforms is forecast surpass $1 billion this year and will scale up dramatically over the next three years. DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION DIGITAL FAÇADE In the expanding DX economy, industry cloud platform and community participation will become increasingly vital to scale up digital supply chains and digital distribution channels by as much as 100- to 1000-fold. IDC predicts that the number of industry clouds will reach 500 or more by 2018, up from today's 100-plus.
