5 Most Dominant Technology Companies In 2015
These five companies were quietly consolidating and position itself very well to continue to dominate in 2016. Here are 5 of the most dominant technology company in 2015, quoted from page Business Insider on Thursday (31/12/2015).
Uber
2015 is the world 'startup', which has become part of the standard vocabulary in the United States, as Google did in the last decade. The phrase "Let us rise Uber" has replaced "Let us take a taxi".
Behind the scenes, Uber continue the smart strategy that make this application available anywhere. So far Uber is still standing strong, although there are lawsuits that tried to force the driver's Uber to reclassify them as employees rather than contractors.
One of the early contenders Uber, Sidecar, has folded. The other big competitors, Lyft, continue to collect funding, but outside of San Francisco and in some other cities such as Austin, no one is calling Lyft. They called Uber.
Lyft main game now is cooperating with international competitors such as Didi (China) and Ola (India) to stop the Uber expansion into these countries.
Uber is currently still a private company and its shares trade limit, but the latest valuation or value of Uber is US $ 62.5 billion. This figure surpassed even Ford and General Motors are each worth only US $ 55.48 and $ 55.15 billion.
Facebook already ubiquitous in the lives of most people before this year, but the company led by Mark Zuckerberg is consolidating its profits this year. Facebook transformed more than just a place where people share news, it became one of the top communication companies in the world.
Forget iMessage from Apple. Facebook does not even have a mobile platform and applications made by its Messenger and WhatsApp acquired Facebook reaching more than one billion people.
Instagram does have replaced Facebook as the application of choice among teenagers, but it is not a problem because Facebook has also been acquiring. Facebook turned into one of the main goals (along with Google's YouTube) for online video. This scare the media industry because Facebook has become the best way for people to share the news.
But perhaps the best evidence of the consolidation of Facebook for social media can be seen relative to the two biggest competitors. The number of users monthly average Twitter tend not to rise this year. In fact, Twitter instead preoccupied with the change of CEO troublesome and layoff employees.
One again, LinkedIn, arguably better. The average base monthly users grew 11 percent in the third quarter of 2015 and the range of the previous year.
But the figure was still just a fraction when compared to Facebook. Perbandingannnya, 100 million monthly users for LinkedIn and 1.55 billion monthly users for Facebook.
Furthermore, Facebook has a variety of futuristic projects, ranging from Oculus Rift virtual reality, which will be launched next year, up to a giant solar-powered drone that will share the Internet to developing countries. It will dominate in 2016.
Amazon
Such as Facebook, Amazon's e-commerce sites have entered into the aspect of most people's lives, and this year's Jeff Bezos-owned companies continue to dominate.
More than half of the United States say they will do most of their holiday shopping at Amazon. While WalMart just finished the second alternative, with a figure of 16 percent.
But many people do not realize how Amazon has plunged into other businesses as well. Call it a business Amazon Web Services (AWS), which allows companies to "let" their computing needs are handled by Amazon with his large infrastructure rather than having to build and maintain their own data centers.
Interestingly, this AWS business turns profitable and seemed to have a "great". AWS is currently already working on orders worth US $ 7 billion in revenue in 2015.
A number of startup from Yelp, Foursquare to Spotify, operates on AWS. And now, the full infrastructure of large companies such as Netflix, Intuit, and Juniper (a company that sells network equipment) are also handled by AWS.
Microsoft, Google, and a number of another cloud computing company was making progress, but Amazon is one that must be defeated.
Salesforce
According to research firm Gartner, Salesforce is the number one fastest growing product category called CRM (Customer Relationship Management), some of which helps sellers track sales information.
Salesforce revenue grew approximately 25 percent per year, and currently, there are on track to reach US $ 10 billion in annual revenues faster than other similar companies.
But more rarely heard, Salesforce is also a major player in the ecosystem of Silicon Valley companies. Salesforce a venture investor number one in enterprise cloud software - in front of each venture capitalist company, with shares in group companies will IPO, including Box (which went public earlier this year), Dropbox, and Twilio (which is expected to go public in front).
Salesforce has also created the beginning of a strong ecosystem, with developers who build applications that work with Salesforce installations belonging to the company, and an application store for the entire company to download and install applications.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft approached Salesforce with the purchase bid for US $ 50 million earlier this year and perhaps Microsoft would do it again.
Netflix
Stenovec team of Tech Insider shows, Netflix has had a brilliant year, with more than a dozen new shows, Emmy nominations galore, international expansion, and new expression of pop culture.
And keep in mind, the habit of watching television finally began to change. Assessment for television at the time they are scheduled to miss this autumn and the number of homes in the United States with cable television subscriptions began to decline for the first time this year.
Netflix plays the position as the 'creator' of television entertainment delivered as online content. Amazon might try the same thing, and other industry players such as Hulu are also trying to catch up, but Netflix still pioneering way.
