Regev Yativ, President and CEO of Magic Software Enterprises Americas, recently wrote about Ten IT trends to watch in 2011.
As per him, the following will be the Top 10 IT trends in 2011.
1. Mobile computing remains important, exciting and risky
2. Mix of in-house and outsourced services shifts
3. Enterprise software begins migrating to the cloud
4. Organizations embrace software lifecycle management
5. Legacy modernization delivers much-sought ROEI
6. The year of the better service level agreement (SLA)
7. Graphical user interfaces get richer; maybe too much so
8. Better performance comes to rich business applications
9. Drowning in data, enterprises turn to BI
10. Multi-tier architecture delivers the keys to integration
I do agree with his views and logic. 3 out of the 10 will definitely be game changers. 1) Enterprise will majorly go to cloud in 2011. But many will be looking for the security aspects which still remains a concern for many 2) With enterprises going to the cloud, SLAs will have to be tightened and changed as per the cloud needs and requirements. 3) With the amount of data being collected everything, many goes unused and hence wasted. But one can well imagine the level of intelligence one can receive from these data. Hence BI will definitely become a major area of focus.
