10 It lessons from 2014

Now that we have entered into the new year, we have received a great deal of insights and knowledge that we have hardly had before a year ago. What has happened in the last 12 months, and how will this affect IT strategy in 2015? 1, LAN is WAN2014 years for IT network professionals, the rules of the game will always be rewritten. Firewall and intrusion detection software is not enough to protect the enterprise network. If you are asked to provide a high quality end-user experience, you must guarantee network services to users in Australia, Japan, Rome, the United States and Canada. This means that endpoints and network traffic management must include the Internet. Therefore, the WAN edge monitoring and ordering service to the WAN Network management service provider has changed from the original "can" to "must have". 2. Manufacturers choose to transfer to the business 2014 IT decision makers spend a lot of time calming their egos, as familiar it vendors bypass them by contacting CMO, the CFO, or other business managers who need IT services directly. In this new procurement model, end users invest in the IT Solution and bypass it--and then ask it for help in the next decision and support process for the solution. 3, manufacturer management to it transfer if end users communicate directly with it vendors and make purchasing decisions, should they manage vendor relationships and solve problems? Accident！ End users prefer to give it to it. They have any it over the years of vendor management experience. 4, the big data is turning to real-time many companies start their first big data projects, for real-time data analysis investment. For example, a company might launch a product promotion when a change in consumer preferences suddenly occurs in a purchase activity. Or it might adjust the delivery time, allowing a truck full of products to sail to Atlanta, where there was a sudden Washington Land District of demand. 2015, it is expected to focus on real-time analysis and support of a large volume-led data flow. 5, internal social media is not so easy in the 2014 most companies are doing social media types of staff coordination and communication, covering the various projects, human resources or other business topics. But most companies will find that the process is too loosely defined in terms of proper use strategy and system integration design. Internal social media design will be an important focus of the 2015. 6. Business knowledge is more important than ever. For many IT projects, the Time-to-market for new applications and new systems has been shortened from three months to one months, and end users are less concerned with "absolutely perfect" apps, but more focused on the bull's-eye, which quickly hits business needs. It will continue to feel the impetus from end users in 2015, making it a priority to adopt and deploy powerful business analytics. 7. Data archiving and backup is no longer a concern behind the scenes. Corporate governance and electronic discovery have put e-mail and other enterprise documents into the archive range. But with the rise of last year's big data, the sense that all data need to be preservedstrengthened. You never know what data you will need when you encounter problems in the future, and these problems are even unimaginable to you today. So in 2014 there was a cold (cheap) off-line storage for all the data that you would have thrown away before. On the other side of the data store archive, the memory data originating from DRAM and SSD is backed up. 8, it is time to adopt the cloud unified architecture of the end users are ordering public cloud services. It is building a private cloud. In addition, there is a large amount of data and applications in the Enterprise Data center. At some point it has to build a unified architecture for all of these assets, allowing for simple integration, security, and regulatory consistency. This will happen in 2015. 9. Effective remote service is commonplace today's workforce is scattered all over the world, at home, in the office, at the scene. When mobile devices are lost or when software needs to be upgraded or installed, these operations must be driven from a central control point to the end user. We no longer have the time to visit remote locations in person for the level or service currently required. 10, application maintenance is still a challenge at the end of 2014, the application of maintenance and 1984 when there is no difference. It applications will still spend nearly half of their time maintaining the existing application code base. And when new application development needs reach an all-time high, they spend less time on development. It will continue to grapple with this issue in 2015.
