Business Intelligence (BI) and Analytics and Mobility Solutions are among the top ten technology trends that will be strategic for Indian organisations in 2014, according to a study by Gartner.
Gartner defines a strategic technology as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major financial investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
“We have identified the top 10 technology trends and drivers Indian companies should factor into their strategic planning processes,” said Vishal Tripathi, principal research analyst at Gartner. “This does not necessarily mean adoption and investment in all of the listed technologies is essential, but companies should look to make deliberate decisions about them during the next two years.”
The other strategic technology trends include Cloud Computing, Social Media and Computing, Machine to Machine (M2M), Hosted Virtual Desktop (HVD), Personal Cloud, The Internet of Things (IoT), Collaboration Technologies and 3D Printing.
