Every year, Accenture's Technology Vision pinpoints the key technology trends that will reshape and reinvent organisations of all kinds over the next few years. This year's top-line theme is "The Intelligent Enterprise Unleashed". It's a concept that's hugely relevant not only to all businesses, but also – in my view – to armed forces the world over. Why? Because, in the defence context, becoming a more intelligent military organisation is clearly a critical goal. And – as with any other type of organisation – it's a goal that armed forces can only achieve by unlocking the data that's currently held within silos and freeing it up to flow to the right place at the right time for the right use.
