The focus of this paper is on implementing a new IT trend. Analyze how the one of these “hot topics in IT” could have helped the company remediate or eliminate the company’s problem or enhance its effectiveness, depending on the focus of that particular case study. (Include approximately one page of technical explanation of the new trend you are focusing on.) The SWOT will be a SWOT of the use of the trend to solve the problem, not a SWOT of the company itself.

The paper headings: Abstract, Introduction, Theory, SWOT, Recommendations, and Conclusion. Must be in APA formatting.
