You recently graduated from your MIS program and have been hired as an IT consulting manager to work with clients who want to take their new web development company to the next level.

However, the client is not sure how to accomplish this. The client has been so busy working and trying to build a customer base, that they have had no time to research or attend useful conferences in web development/web technologies. As a consulting manager, you have been asked by the client to research and provide a briefing document on how more revenue and outreach to clients can be made and to let them know what is upcoming and trending in the area of web development/web marketing. Based on this information the client may or may not expand their business, but at the least, they want to be informed on the latest and greatest practical information they might share with their clients or use personally to further their web design business.

Research 5 to 8 emerging technologies that might assist the web development company and their clients, focusing on only practical/actionable information.

Create a 2- to 3-page executive briefing. Your briefing should:

• Be sure to list each of the technologies you researched in the document.
• Pick at least 2 of the emerging technologies that were researched and identify how each could be used to increase profitability for the web development company. Discuss how each of the selected technologies would be useful to the client’s web development company and how each will help advance their business and business prospects.
