Gartner: The power of change for security, mobility, large data and cloud

If you've attended a Gartner meeting, you'll notice that a very noticeable thing is that they publish a lot of data about many it topics. The Gartner Symposium/itxpo meeting held in Florida State Orlando last week was no exception. The meeting is attended by about 9,000 executives, focusing on security, mobile computing, large data and cloud technologies that will bring huge changes to the IT industry in the near future.

It's pretty hard to list all this data, so we can only try to simplify the presentation by refining the important presentation documents at Gartner Itxpro meetings and highlighting the most eye-catching information.

Here's a few of the data we've picked up from the presentations from Gartner's many analysts and the IT trends they show.

It trends

2013 's global IT spending is expected to be more than $3.7 trillion trillion, up 3.8% from 2012 's projected spending of $3.6 trillion, but the prospect of big data is most compelling. Because by 2015, there will be 4.4 million new jobs around the world with big data, and 1.9 million more IT jobs in the United States. The big data will create a new economic area where the whole task is to turn information or data into economic revenue. 2013, big data is expected to generate 34 billion of dollars in IT spending.

Most of the current IT spending is spent on a variety of needs that use traditional solutions to deal with big data, such as machine data, social data, a wide variety of data, unpredictable speed and so on; in 2012, only 4.3 billion dollars of software spending was driven directly by new large data features.

At present, the most significant impact of large data is social network analysis and content analysis, the annual new expenditure in this regard as high as 45%.

A year ago, technology spending outside of the IT budget accounted for only 20% per cent of total technology spending, and at the end of the 10-year period, technology spending outside the IT budget would account for almost 90% per cent of total technology spending.

The organization will set up a chief data officer to participate in the leadership of the business unit. Gartner predicts that by 2015, 25% of the organizations will have a chief data Officer position.

"The chief data officer will prove to be the most exciting strategic role in the next 10 years," said David Willis, a renowned analyst and vice president of Gartner. CIOs will be in a place where businesses need to meet their customers, where revenue can be generated and where business missions are done. They will be responsible for the digital business strategy. And they have a long way to go from running back to the front desk, which is full of opportunities. ”

Over the next three years, consumer social networks, which dominate the market, will touch the rising ceiling. But social computing is becoming more and more important. Businesses will set up social media as a required option. Gartner predicts that 10% of organizations will spend more than 1 billion dollars on social media over the next three years.

"Social computing is moving from the edge of the organization to the core of the business," said Peter Sondergaard, Gartner's senior vice president and global research director. It is changing the fundamentals of governance: How to set a sense of purpose and motivate people to take action. Social computing will get organizations off the hierarchy, allowing teams to form interactive communities across organizational boundaries in any sense. ”
