Gartner on trends
As 'Gartner's 2006 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle Highlights Key Technology Themes' is about Gartner's Hype Cycle I had to link to the Itera bicycle (that was hyped a lot, but failed commercially), not that it has anything to do with it. Back to the topic...
Gartner has investigated 36 emerging technologies and made estimations of which ones are likely to have the most impact for enterprises (read: Gartner's customers).
Even though the target group is enterprise, Web 2.0 is still deemed the most important. Also user interface enhancements, and mobile and location technologies are deemed key, which should interest anyone into enterprise mobile location services with user-generated content, e.g. for tracking employees that are working outside the office, to assign work tasks without having to do broadcasts to all, and where workers can provide status reports etc via the system.
'Jackie Fenn ... said: “The hype cycle should be used along with a planning model such as the priority matrix, which highlights the technologies we believe are worth adopting early because of their potentially high impact. However the actual benefit will vary significantly across industries so planners need to ascertain which of these individual opportunities relate most closely to their organisational requirements.”'
