Trends in Technology
Shopping on the Internet has become big business. The major software manufacturers and consulting services are now focusing on linking the Internet shopping mall to such logistic processes as warehousing, invoicing and shipping.
State-of-the-art object-oriented software components will soon fully automate communications and networking for mobile offices (via mobile phones, personal digital assistants, PCs and printers). The "JINI" platform (Java Intelligent Network Infrastructure) promises to render communication between terminal equipment so intelligent that even cameras, scanners and all types of network components will be able to log onto the LAN (Local Area Network) automatically.
Call center solutions with integrated voice recognition and synthetic voice output are now available for the first time. Leading software manufacturers have also made their programs compatible with the Linux operating system as a standard feature.
