Future IT development trend forecast: BYOD, Big Data on the list

It is very difficult to identify technology trends, and the panel gives their best predictions for it's important development areas.

The mastery of the next generation of innovative technology that affects the enterprise can distinguish between good CIOs and great CIOs.

So what is the future of IT development? TechRepublic asked five experts to try to predict the internal and external IT development trends within the enterprise.

1. Enhancing the viewing experience through augmented reality

Denis McCauley, head of global research at the British Economist Information Society (Economist FDI Unit), has spent some time studying it's future trends, with augmented reality (augmented reality, Computer-generated numbers are used to strengthen the real-world environment on the ground) is one of the areas of greatest concern.

McCauley examples of augmented reality may include adding additional information to sports broadcasts (including facts and figures), he says, "This is not a completely virtual thing, but rather the use of computer-generated numbers to enhance the viewing experience." ”

Companies and suppliers are expected to develop new areas, juniper research shows that by 2015, mobile augmented reality revenue will reach $1.5 billion trillion. McCauley says some CIOs believe augmented reality will be applied to specific business areas, such as customer service and staff training.

"A customer service representative can have multiple screens to cover ever-increasing information," McCauley says. "The game has not yet been applied to the enterprise, and the game can serve as a tool for strengthening training and brainstorming activities." ”

2. Maximizing the use of mobile technology

Gary Barr, the retail giant WM-Morrisons, said it was difficult to predict the next development area, but believes there is still much to gain from recent innovations, especially portable devices and collaboration tools.

"There needs to be more maturity before mobile technology and social media can be seen as enterprise standard tools," he says. ”

"Employees inside and outside the workplace are now able to benefit from incredibly portable technologies, but as CIOs, we don't necessarily know how these collaboration tools will operate in the workplace." ”

Barr says innovation sometimes takes time to be accepted as a new way of doing business. He cited the dot-com revolution as an example of the millennium turn. For ten years, Barr said, the big brands of that period began to appear, such as Amazon and ebay.

"E-commerce has been going on for 10 years, from innovative technology to a powerful business model," he says. "These technologies will also face the same situation when businesses are really starting to use mobile and social technologies to do business." ”

3. Integrated technology Development trend

Abbey homeowner group Toby Clarke says it is hard not to focus on the technology development that is being touted as you try to envision future it trends. He refers to the potential growth trend of "bringing his own equipment to the workplace (BYOD)" and cloud computing, and he also mentions augmented reality.

But true innovation will come from the integration of all these technologies, he says. ' We may be able to tap more value from the business and customer data that the enterprise collects, ' says Clarke.

"There is so much data that we need to integrate that," says Clarke. "He refers to the growth of location-based services, as well as a reminder that people can buy flowers from trusted suppliers to celebrate one-year anniversary," he said. He hopes to have this level of personalization in business, but that innovation is not easy.

"I'm looking forward to seeing all these data warehouses associated," he says. "In fact, this is what all CIOs should consider, how to deal with large data, but there will be a lot of creative work." ”

4. Treat large data intelligently

Storage Vendor HDS company chief technology officer Francois Zimmerman also believes that there is still a lot of value to be mined from the innovations of existing technology trends. And he believes there will be significant progress in data use.

"This is the gap between reality and marketing hype," he says. "So far, business intelligence is just a buzzword for big data, and suppliers are rushing to repackage their existing tools into a new analytics system." ”

His advice to CIOs is not to try to solve all the problems with a single ready-made product. Zimmerman that Future analysis technology will be specific to the Department to help enterprises to process information in real time.

"CIOs will analyze and judge the use cases one by one, taking into account the technical deployment and the business results needed," he says, "and the future of information will revolve around the analysis technology that is consistent with business processes." ”

5. Looking forward to a great advantage from biotechnology

The Wellcome Trust Company's IT director Mark Bramwell says the way technology can evolve may mean some sudden digital trends.

"What is the future trend of it? This is a 64000 dollar issue," Bramwell said, but he believes biotechnology will have an impact on the technology industry, and biotechnology is one of the areas of growth.

Global spending on biotechnology research and development increased by 9% in 2011, despite the grim economic situation, according to the firm's report. Biotech investment is most pronounced in North America, where 62% of American biotech companies increased their research and development spending last year.

The advances in genomic research have made the medical team a huge demand for existing information storage mechanisms, "it needs to help with medical research," Bramwell says, and robotic surgery will be another potential growth area.
