Enterprise Architecture: Ten Technologies Trends in the Enterprise

By Dick Weisinger

How are enterprise architecture and technologies evolving?  Forrester Research has come up with a list of the top technologies that are gearing up to reshape architectures and infrastructures across organizations.  The top ten technologies identified by Forrester, and reported by Joe McKendrick on ZDNet, are the following:

  1. Business intelligence (BI) will be used increasingly by companies to  analyze massive amounts of data that their organizations are collecting
  2. Business Automation via rules processing and policy-based SOA will increasingly make frequently performed business transactions faster and more efficient
  3. Cloud Computing and SaaS will become more widely used to provide more flexibility and expandability of capacity
  4. Virtualization will be increasingly used and organizations will need to invest in training to be able to most effectively manage and use this new technology
  5. Collaboration technologies to enable better and more far-reaching communication
  6. Event centric architectures will cause architects to focus more on events in creating rules and in developing software
  7. Business Applications will integrate Customer Communities to better be able to respond to customer needs and requirements
  8. Mobile platforms that are smarter and faster will shift the way that users interact with business applications
  9. Analytics will be increasingly applied to Social Network and Text-based data to gain better insights into customer needs and requirements
  10. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) will increasingly change the dynamics of the way that today’s data centers are run
