• Global provincialism

• Ageing population in energy and CO2 neutral habitats / offices

• Regulation determines how much we may know from one another.

• In a sharing and caring society, possesion is less relevant than right of use

• Autarky as a trend

• Environmentally friendly local products

• Non-loyal consumers are the new normal

• Corporations manage data and expert systems that make our lives easier. As long

as they are prudent with that data, we’re just fine with that.

• We all live in our own cocoon yet our information sharing reach is global

• Sharper demarcation zones between haves and have-not’s

• Learned to deal with information overflow

• Trust decreases and technology helps to remain at comfortable distance.

Free flowing interoperable data connects everything

Information distilled from this data-ocean helps to automate tasks

Data is the source to protect

Hence

Alliander has two (IT) regimes:

1. Fast, cheap and lightweight enablement of new initiatives leading to either

potentially new business models or to smarter traditional operations.

2. Stable, safe, predictable and reliable traditional operations.
