BPM Tops the IT Trend Outlook for 2007
Ziff Davis’ CIO | Insight have published what they see as the top IT trends for 2007. They put the list together based on the results of 13 separate surveys they conducted in 2006. IT trends were grouped into four categories: strategy, management, security, and technology.
The top trends cited in these four categories are:
Strategy – Business Process Improvement
Management – Division between IT and Business will blur
Security – No abatement of IT security threats
Technology – Adoption of new architectures
Reading though the list of trends, no real surprises jump out, and many of the cited trends are inter-related.
Compliance
Security – Compliance achieves what government intended
Security – Compliance spurs financial process improvement
Strategy – Information governance gains momentum
IT Outsourcing and Offshoring
Management – Outsourcing changes IT Management
Management – Outsourcing growth slows
Management – Offshoring shifts from India
Management – IT organizations will keep growing
Strong Business and IT Cooperation
Management – The division between IT and Business will diminish
Strategy – IT works on closing the sale
Management – CIOs struggle to find business-savvy technologists
It is interesting that while Business Process Improvement is is cited as the top trend, another trend competing with that goal is that ‘Business process management services and software will frustrate users’. One step forward. One step back.
