While accelerators can vary, this defines the core model born from Y Combinator. The document notes that accelerators differ from other incubation supports like angel networks, business competitions, co-working spaces, and entrepreneurship courses, which do not on their own constitute an accelerator. It aims to help readers understand accelerators and consider setting one up through framing key strategic choices and common practices.

Accenture es una de las principales empresas de consultoría de orden mundial, nos comparte su visión en este 2012.

Accenture publishes its technology vision annually. It is a distillation of our extensive research over the course of the previous 12 months, the experiences of our research teams and the input of our clients. In it, we outline the emerging technology trends that forward-thinking CIOs will use to position their organizations to drive growth and high performance, rather than just focusing on cost-cutting and efficiency improvements. Business leaders now accept that their organizations’ future success is bound up with their ability to keep pace with technology. CIOs have to play a key role in helping these business leaders recognize and seize the opportunities enabled by new trends—but the price of progress will have to be paid, along with new risks assumed. We believe six technology trends will influence business over the next three to five years: Context-based services. Where you are and what you are doing will drive the next wave of digital services. Converging data architectures. Successfully rebalancing the data architecture portfolio and blending the structured with the unstructured are key to turning data into new streams of value. Industrialized data services. The ability to share data will make it more valuable—but only if it is managed differently. Social-driven IT. Realize that social is not just a bolt-on marketing channel. It will have true business-wide impact. PaaS-enabled agility. The maturing platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market will shift the emphasis from cost-cutting to business innovation, supporting rapid evolution for business processes that need continuous change. Orchestrated analytical security. Organizations will have to accept that their gates will be breached and begin preparing their second line of defense—data platforms—to mitigate the damage caused by attacks that get through.

This document discusses the emerging trend of context-based services, which use contextual data from various sources combined with analytics to provide more immersive and valuable experiences for users. Context includes location data, online activities, social media, and other inputs. Over the next year, CIOs should link with business functions influencing customer experience, compile a list of potential context-based services, form a pilot team to experiment, and establish an environment to rapidly develop and deploy new services. Examples discussed include services that use travel mentions on Twitter to contact hotels, and mobile services that deactivate phones while driving for safety and fraud prevention. However, context-based services are still in early stages.
