Gartner's Top 10 Technologies to Watch

by allison

Last week, Gartner, an information technology research and advisory group, released their 2009 list of the top 10 strategic technologies to watch. The purpose of this list is to help business leaders strategically budget and formulate long term business plans. The list includes: 

1. Virtualization  
2. Cloud Computing
3. Servers : Beyond Blades  
4. Web-Oriented Architecture  
5. Enterprise Mashups 
6. Specialized Systems  
7. Social Software and Social Networking  
8. Unified Communications  
9. Business Intelligence  
10. Green IT  

 

Many of these were included on last year's list, but cloud computing, specialized systems, and business intelligence are all new editions. 

One technology noticeably missing from the list is mobile computing. With all the buzz surrounding the iPhone and its emerging competitors, it definitely seems like a technology to watch! The increased efficiency of mobile computing will help transform the enterprise from a primarily deskbound workforce into a much more efficient and flexible organization. At Vyllo, we believe that this is one of the most important technologies in which to invest.
