Last year I posted this question. I'd like to post it again and get
an update for 2005. Last year techtor-ga answered this question for
me, so a ton of work has been done that will help you answer this
question much faster, I believe. Go to
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=298038#comments for
that answer. You'll see techtor-ga's search strategy and the results.
Every year at the end of the year and the beginning of the year there
are a number of articles, reports, whitepapers, and presentations
published that provide lists of the top trends forecasted for the
Information Technology industry. The titles of these lists are
varied (examples you might find "Top
Emerging Trends". "Top 10 List", "2005 Issues for IT Vendors"). See
the question I posted last year for technor-ga's search strategy.
I am looking for a wide variety of lists that cover all of IT, so I am
interested in lists of trends in 5 categories 1)IT Hardware,
2)Software, 3) Services 4) Consumer, and 5) General Trends (a catch
all category). I am mainly interested in IT trends as it relates to
the Business IT market, so please spend most of your time in
categories 1-3. Use # 5 as a general category if you can't seem to
fit it into the categories described above.
A complete answer to this question will contain a a list of URLs
broken down by the categories mentioned above. This list of URLs will
point me to these reports, articles, lists, presentations, white
papers, etc. that have been published in the last 3-4 months.
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN OLD ARTICLES STATING 2002, 3, 4 TRENDS.
I am more interested in B2B Technology Trends than I am Consumer
Technology (personal computer) Trends, but I will take both.
I am more interested in a complete answer than I am a quick one. A 5-star
answer will get a generous tip. |
