TRACK DESCRIPTION The rapid advancement of information technologies has changed the way businesses operate. Organizations need to compete through various innovations. The pressing need has driven businesses to adopt new technologies such as clouding computing, business intelligence, and big data to enhance their organizational agility. Cloud computing, a new computing model that assigns the computing requests to a great number of distributed computers and service providers, has become a viable alternative for many organizations to access IT resources when needed. As the amount and variety of available data grows, business intelligence and data analytics become crucial for organizations to sense and respond to market competition and changing demands. Big data technologies such as in-memory analytics, NoSQL databases, and Hadoop Ecosystem are being adopted by more businesses.

How should a business implement these new technologies and leverage the benefits? How new technologies help transform a business into an agile organization?
