Five Disruptive Techs CIOs Should Watch

Posted by strom on August 16, 2006

In an article published this month for CIO magazine, I write about my five favorite technologies that could have major changes on the way IT organizations run their shops in the coming year. Which five made my cut? Well, you’ll have to read the piece, but my criteria were:

1. Technology that changes the way IT delivers computing services to the enterprise or
uses IT services from outside suppliers, trading partners, and customers.

2. Technology that changes the inventory of desktops, servers, or existing network
infrastructure in some significant way (because of new tech or new price points).

3. New computing or networking applications that require wholesale changes to stuff.

4. Some huge trend or trendlet that has got everyone energized and developers doing stuff around it that is getting lots of funding from IT shops currently.
