Aragon’s Technology Arcs help our clients evaluate the maturity and market impact of many technologies in the workplace. They are designed to let planners identify important technologies, choose the ones to monitor, determine their potential benefits, and decide when to invest in them and how to use them.
Tech Arcs segment technologies into three sequential degrees of maturity: emerge, adopt and mature. Emerging technologies may be curiosities, or disruptive innovations that will change paradigms in the future. Adoptive technologies have proved useful, and are now being instantiated in products and services that enterprises need to take note of. Mature technologies are now being standardized or commoditized, with multiple vendors in play, and even late adopters have to address them.
