2013 It trends mobile competition, cloud computing and strategic large data habitat

October 3 to October 5, the survey company Gartner Japan, "Gartner symposium/itxpo 2012" in Tokyo. Gartner's two senior analysts described the new driver of the IT industry as "a combination of destructive forces" (Nexus of Forces) and published the 2013 strategic technology trend TOP10.

Peter Sondergaard, vice president of Gartner

"Now, with the help of the IT industry, new products and services will evolve and business changes will accelerate," said Peter Sondergaard, vice president. This is an era of promoting economic development through it. "In this new era, social networking Media Services (SNS), mobility (smartphones and tablets), penetration of cloud computing services and large data (efficient information gathering and analysis) are core elements of the" four it destructive forces ". In the future, only the strengthening of the 4 strength of the link will be possible to improve the competitiveness of enterprises, to bring new business opportunities.

The combination of destructive forces (Nexus of forces)

Peter Sondergaard SVP The status and problems of the above four it forces as well as the forecast data of market size. When he talks about cloud computing, he says, big data is becoming the killer of cloud computing. At the same time, with the development and popularization of cloud computing, the profit margins of the providers providing cloud computing services are decreasing, the competition is fiercer and many enterprises will be eliminated. But because many IT departments are skeptical about cloud computing, the underlying application software cannot take advantage of cloud computing.

Peter Sondergaard SVP believes that among the four it forces, the most powerful force in the coming years is the mobile phone sector. Gartner predicts that by 2016, there will be 27 billion mobile phones on Earth, and 3 per 2 of corporate employees will hold mobile phones and work in mobile environments. The trend for employees to use BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) will be accelerated, while non-PCs will be halved and most will be replaced by BYOD.

He repeatedly stressed that, although the four forces each played an important role, but it is important to combine four forces as part of the IT strategy, bringing together four forces, offering new products and services that converge into a "destructive force of Nexus of forces". This combination of forces will make a huge difference in business and it vision. In this revolution, "focus", "Connect" and "lead" will be three keyword.

In addition, it is expected that future enterprise investment in it funds will not increase. And, by 2017, the company's marketing department will be much more money than it funds. New IT investments will appear in non-IT departments such as research and development departments or manufacturing manufacturing sectors.

Then, Gartner Vice President, vice president and researcher David Cearley, explained the 2013 strategic technology trend Top 10.

2013 strategy Technology trends Top 10.

1. Mobile terminal competition;

2. Mobile application software and HTML5;

3. Personal cloud computing;

4. IoT of Things (Internet of things);

5. Hybrid cloud it and cloud computing;

6. Strategic and large data;

7. Combat Analysis Tool (action Analytics);

8. Mainstream in memory calculation (mainstream as Computing);

9. Integration of ecosystems (ecosystem);

10. Commercial software application store (creator store).

First, he pointed out that the biggest feature of this time is the forefront of mobile-related technology.

David Cearley, vice president of Gartner Vice President

David Cearley, a vice president and researcher at Gartner, points out that the competition for mobile devices has significantly accelerated the movement of smart devices such as smartphones and tablet computers as client terminals. Between 2013 and 2014, Microsoft's ecosystem and the platform rivalry between Google and Apple will grow. "It is necessary for businesses to prepare a mix of possible (heterogeneous) environments," he said.

In the above context, David Cearley stressed that it is important to be able to provide differentiated products, that is, based on user experience of touch operability and video, sound, user interface (UI) and mobile applications and HTML5 will become the protagonist. While actively adapting to Cross-platform (Cross-platform), IT departments need to develop HTML5 and next-generation applications.

In the future, the strategic big data and the actual Combat analysis tool (action Analytics) applies to the actual data analysis as well as the data application will present the growth situation. The growth of data has been accelerated by the popularity of social networking media. It is expected that before 2014, the industry will accelerate the above content into business procedures and practical application of the pace of enterprise operations.

David Cearley specifically described the fourth internet of Things (IOT). He warns, "Don't be a frog in lukewarm water, Shing, you must always keep a sense of crisis." In fact, IoT has entered the stage of utilization.

David Cearley points out that 50% of the things connected to the Internet are already commodity-ready. If things is defined, it is not a common computer device, but a special purpose insertion machine. Therefore, it is necessary for the CIO of the enterprise to have a clear understanding of the impact of the combination of OT (twist Marvell) and it (Internet things).

San Francisco, for example, has tried to set up sensors in the parking lot to automatically hold the vacancy, in order to help drivers find suitable locations. Another example of IoT is the travel distance linked insurance (payd:pay as you Drive), which is to set up a sensor on the vehicle to pay for the car insurance according to the driving distance. Similarly, the Payd approach applies to tax collection. (Jinshun/Translate)
