Gartner’s Strategic Technology Trends 2012

Gartner has recently updated it’s strategic technology trends for 2012 and comes at a critical junction for IT departments as they get to terms with their IT Budgets, Architecture Upgrades and the ever growing demands placed on business by consumerisation.

What's a "strategic technology"?  Strategic technology is one that has the potential for "significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years."

So what made the cut and what didn’t?

  1. Media tablets
  2. Mobile-centric applications and interfaces
  3. Social and contextual user experience
  4. Application stores and marketplace
  5. The Internet of everything
  6. Next-generation analytics
  7. Big data
  8. In-memory computing
  9. Extreme low-energy servers
  10. Cloud computing.

Many of these go together. Such as contextual and social user experience and Internet of Things depend on one another. App stores and marketplaces and tablet computing go hand-in-hand.

So do you agree?  Is there anything on here that you planning on doing and is there something missing from this list?  It would be interesting to see.
