Claire Leroy's List: Perspectives

"Alors que l’on peine encore à comprendre le Cloud Computing, Forrester invente le “Smart Computing”, nouvel axe majeur des entreprises en 2010. Le terme vient tout droit d’un article de Andrew Bartels, analyste pour ce célèbre cabinet américain dans un billet sur son blog. Le Smart Computing désigne le nouveau cycle de croissance de 6 à 7 ans que les entreprises vont connaître en matière d’investissement technologiques et d’innovation."

"2009 was a miserable year for tech vendors, especially for sellers of capital equipment like PCs, servers, routers, and licensed software, and for systems integrators who helped implement that software. 2010 will be a much better year, especially for these very same vendors"

"More than 70% of SMEs plan to switch to cloud computing within the next five years, according to a study carried out by British ISP Easynet Connect."

"Une stratégie technologique est définie par le Gartner comme ayant un impact significatif sur l'activité et le développement de l'entreprise dans les 3 ans à venir. Les éléments qui déterminent ce que le Gartner appelle un impact significatif incluent un potentiel de rupture sur l'IT ou le métier, la nécessité d'un investissement financier important ou le risque que pourrait entraîner une adoption tardive. "

"Most people think of traditional business intelligence (BI) as a collection of business-critical information from inside the enterprise.
However, consumer comments, independent reviews, and market reports online are crucial pieces of information coming from the outside that infinitely affect any organization."

"While the business-technology world of 2010 will present a dramatically different outlook to CIOs versus the perspective they had 12 months earliers, we at InformationWeek's Global CIO think many of the core challenges and priorities will be similar. The glaring change, of course, is the absence this year of the all-consuming day-to-day struggle for mere survival that so many companies experienced in early 2009, and all the extraordinary cost-cutting that struggle demanded. "

IDC prévoit une reprise et une transformation en 2010. Une croissance modeste des dépenses informatiques accompagnée d’une transformation fondamentale de l’industrie IT.

"This is the time of year when every pundit and his half fed dog wheel out their predictions. It’s a topic from which I try to steer clear not least because there’s always the embarrassing requirement to go back and find out just how far out of whack (and therefore how useless) you really are. Then there’s the fact that many predictions are either obvious (because they’re already on the cards) or self serving (because the author is striving to make a buck out of showing how gorgeous/cool/right on they are.) There is however one exception."

"Appirio, a cloud solution provider, highlighted 10 predictions for how cloud computing will impact enterprises in 2010."

"How to Improve Your IT Planning in 2010
For long-term IT effectiveness, leaner planning processes will help CIOs spend more time leading, and less time planning, says CIO.com's Chris Curran. Consider this practical advice for tweaking your planning process."

IDC's Top 10 Tech Predictions: Cloud and Analytics
Unsurprisingly, cloud computing tops IDCs' 2010 technology predictions after a year where it was hyped and pushed and almost bludgeoned into the mindsets of IT professionals across the industry. While coming a close second was business analytics, which from the past few years is seemingly never far from the top one or two priorities of CIOs.
