The dynamics and operations of telecom may be something that is disrupted, but the infrastructure and cash of the incumbents may favor their long-term domination.<\/p>\n<p>65 percent of technology businesses say that they will disrupt.\u00a0 That seems surprisingly low.\u00a0 It&#8217;s hard to think of a technology company without a sales rep with a slide deck in their back pocket that contains a future vision of nirvana enabled by the evolution of their products.<\/p>\n<p>John Newton, founder and CTO of Alfresco, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20180522005673\/en\/New-Report-Alfresco-Dimensional-Research-Reveals-Industries\">said in the press release<\/a> of this recent study, that &#8220;today\u2019s corporate leaders must realize that digital disruption is happening, and it\u2019s happening right now.
