The theme for 2013---according to Gartner---is that the information technology department has to navigate cloud, social, mobility and information as those trends play off of each other. Gartner analyst David Cearley believes that a strategic technology will impact the enterprise over the next three years.
"These technologies will cause major disruption to your environment," said Cearley. "This list is a starting point."
Here's the overview:
Among the key points are:
Mobile as the top two picks isn't all that surprising. Mobile device management is top of mind with technology excutives. Meanwhile, employees are bringing all sorts of devices to work. That trend could is set to get become more significant since Windows 8 will bring 140 form factors to market.
Gartner predicts that Android and iOS will dominate smartphones, but Windows Phone will gain "substantial share." For tech execs, the actual players don't manage. They have to get a handle on securing data and managing choice.
Cearley said that by 2015, 70 percent of companies will have one executive in charge of overseeing Internet-connected devices and objects. The payoff will be in the supply chain, control and information services. "The Internet of things has applications across multiple industries," said Cearley.
