The Canadian software and gaming industries have been undergoing an evolutionary change with cloud computing, mobile computing, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and IT consumerisation; driving permanent shifts in the basic structure of the industries. These trends are forcing software and gaming vendors to substantially rethink the way they develop, price, sell, deliver and service products. A similar shift has been happening on in-house software projects. Here organisations are under pressure to get more value from IT by developing or integrating technologies for distributed architectures to run on the cloud, and by scaling their operational needs without additional outlay on expensive infrastructure.
