Abstract

IT or ICT systems have been widely adopted by companies and are now part of the basic infrastructure of most organisations. ICT systems are evolving in response to both commercial and technical changes. This paper outlines some of the drivers for this continuing change, and discusses how these drivers may influence future evolution. The paper first discusses current trends and drivers, and then identifies a number of assumptions underlying current approaches to ICT system design. Criticism of these assumptions opens up new ways of thinking about the way ICT systems are designed and used, with implications for their future development.
