An Updated Collection of IT Predictions for 2010

Happy new year and happy new decade! Since I first compiled my collection of IT predictions for 2010 in mid-December, many more predictions for 2010 and retrospectives for 2009 came in. I thought it would be helpful to list the new ones in addition to the older ones that I compiled, so that you can see many more predictions and learn where IT may be heading in 2010, in one place. Re-use is okay in social media, right?
Here are the new predictions and retrospectives, in alphabetical order by media outlet, followed by many more in my initial post:
  • The Forrester Blog For Business Process & Applications Professionals – Advanced Analytics Predictions for 2010:  http://bit.ly/7y7fqL
  • Gartner, Andrea DiMaio: A Year in Review: Top Ten for Government 2.0 in 2009 http://bit.ly/6SlOxx
Below is my initial post, which contains many more predictions:
Now that we’re really gearing up for 2010 and the dawn of new decade, and since enterprise mashup dashboards and business intelligence are often cited as important IT initiatives for 2010, I thought it would be good to at least have a text mashup dashboard of the many IT predictions that are circulating, to enhance our own business intelligence.
Here are some IT predictions for 2010 that I’ve run across and found useful and insightful, in alphabetical order by author or organization:
Also, here are links to great surveys this year by IBM and InformationWeek about the impact of business intelligence during the economic downturn, the top priorities of CIOs, and IT innovation:
I hope that this will provide plenty of reading about what may happen in IT in 2010. While you’re at it, here are some great cloud-computing companies that will continue to shine in the year ahead:

  • Enterprise mashup dashboards such as mashmatrix Dashboard provide rapid, personalized development of dashboards from any web-facing data source; get a complete view of a customer or patient on one screen without having to switch between screens and applications.
  • SaaS business intelligence (BI) applications from Birst and eiVia provide quick reporting and predictive analytics for decision-making.
  • Enterprise relationship management solutions such as BranchIt help your business leverage relationships that colleagues may have with prospective customer or partner contacts.
  • Price optimization applications from companies such as Mimiran help you avoid leaving money on the table in pricing your products or services.
  • Enterprise brand management solutions from Biz360 aggregate, measure, and analyze news media and consumer opinion from print and social-media sources to yield insights that enable sales, marketing, PR, and executives to better understand their customers, competitors, influencer communities, industry trends and issues, the press, and the investment community.
  • Enterprise cloud databases such as TrackVia help you quickly design and deploy cloud-based applications to solve business problems.
  • Integration products from Pervasive Software and Sesame Software provide data exchange and interoperability between legacy on-premises and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.
  • Cloud-based single sign-on systems from companies such as TriCipher provide a secure, single login for a user to access all authorized cloud-based applications.

Good luck in 2010, and may all the good predictions come true!
