Trends of the year 2015
Computing everywhere:
As
smart-phone technology advances, smart-phones will be used in new contexts and
environments. Along with wearables, smart-phones will offer connected screens
in the workplace and in public. User experience will be key.
The
internet of things IOTs:
The Internet
of things is big and it will continue to grow along with user-oriented
computing Prediction. The Internet of Things will be the focus of digital
business products and processes in industrial and operational contexts. Expect
technology to be embedded everywhere.

3D printing:
3D printing is about to get cheaper, and its
market will grow over the next three years. The expansion will be biggest in
industrial, biomedical, and consumer applications helping companies reduce
costs.

Advanced,
Pervasive, Invisible Analytics:
Analytics will continue to grow propelled by
the Internet of Things, creating large pools of data. Every app will need to be
an analytic app. But big data isn’t the most important thing: instead we’ll need
big questions and big answers.

Context-Rich
Systems:
Thanks to embedded
intelligence and analytics, systems will become alert and responsive to their
surroundings. Expect context-aware security as well as other trends.

Smart Machines:
Analytics and context will pave the way for
smart machines that can learn for themselves and act accordingly. These machine
helpers will continue to evolve. Prediction: The smart machines era will be the
most disruptive in the history of IT.

Cloud/Client
Architecture:
As mobile computing meets cloud computing,
centrally coordinated applications that can be delivered to any device will
continue to grow. Apps that can use intelligence and storage effectively will
see lower bandwidth costs. Expect to be able to use applications simultaneously
on multiple devices.

Software-Defined
Infrastructure and Applications:
Software defined networking, storage, datacenters and security are maturing. Cloud service software is configurable
thanks to rich APIs. Computing will have to move away from static models to
deal with the changing demands of digital business.
Web-Scale IT:
More and more companies will begin thinkinglike Amazon, Google and Facebook. As cloud-optimized and software-defined
methods become mainstream, we’ll see a move towards web-scale IT, starting with
DevOps.
Risk-Based
Security and Self-Protection:
While 100% security solutions aren’tfeasible, advanced risk assessment and mitigation will come into play in the
next few years. Security will move away from perimeter defense to multi-faceted
approaches. Expect security aware application design, dynamic and static
application security testing, and runtime application self-protection.
