Roles and Responsibilities
Brian Prentice has been with Gartner for nine years. He is a member of the Web, Mobile and Application Development team. His primary areas of research are on the emergence of "apps" - how they are changing the way that business solutions are defined, created and deployed - and the growing importance that design and simplicity play in creating a compelling user experience. He works across several research key initiatives, including People Centered Computing, Emerging Trends & Technologies, Innovation, and Application Overhaul. Mr. Prentice has also developed thought-leading research on intellectual property-related IT issues, such as the role that patents, copyright and open source play in IT strategy and planning.
