Information of Everything
 Source information from across the business ecosystem
 Consider all types of information
 Leverage advanced analytics, ontologies and graphs:
 Identify the information needed for actions that matter
 Focus on actionable algorithms and "big answers" not simply "big data"
 Open access via APIs and manage information risk
 Prepare to feed your learning machine

App and Service Architecture for the Digital Mesh
 Cloud computing and microservices are the foundation
 Cloud is the coordination point and system of record
 User experience is delivered across a mesh of devices:
- Synchronization and device shifting
- Complimentary apps and ensemble apps
 The experience flows to the user in context
 The environment is the computer
 And the interface is invisible
