As we reach the end of another year it’s time to reflect on the technological changes we all enjoyed and hopefully profited from in 2014, and set our sights on the changes coming in the new year. IT research and advisory group Gartner, recently published their “Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2015 and Beyond.”
This list looks at the trends that are expected to have a significant impact on business moving forward. The list features some old standbys like the continued growth of the cloud as well as newer emerging trends like the merging of the real and virtual worlds. Let’s examine a few of the exciting tech trends we’ll all benefit from in the coming few years!
1. The Computer in Your Pocket
Mobile computing has grown tremendously in the past few years and its growth is projected to continue. Gartner predicts an increased dependence on mobile computing and servicing the needs of the mobile user in diverse contexts and across devices is projected to be the new normal.
2. Growth of “The Internet of Things”
As we continue to create ever increasing data streams and digitize everything, four basic usage models have emerged – Manage, Monetize, Operate and Extend. Companies can benefit by adapting and servicing these usage models.
3. Cloud/Client Computing
As the cloud and mobile computing continue to merge, growth is expected to continue in centrally coordinated applications that can be delivered across device platforms. Delivering a seamless user experience across device platforms and environments is the key to business use.
4. Social Media Will Continue To Drive Business
Social media has changed the way we communicate, share information and build our businesses. This trend will continue in the coming years as new platforms and social experiences continue to evolve.
Business growth in the coming years is going to be directly linked to your ability to adopt and adapt to rapidly evolving technological trends. Getting ahead of the coming changes is the best opportunity for your continued growth in 2015 and beyond!
