International consulting firm Deloitte has issued a report listing what it believes are the technology trends that are most relevant to today's CIO. Deloitte has divided these trends into two groups, "emerging enablers" and "disruptive deployments."
Emerging enablers, says Deloitte, are core disciplines that have evolved within the enterprise. CIOs have likely addressed these topics in the past but Deloitte argues they deserve another look due to specific factors in the technology or business environment. Disruptive deployments, on the other hand, represent significant new opportunities -- offering new business models or transformative ways to operate. The technologies themselves may not be disruptive, but in being deployed they may well disrupt the cost, capabilities, or even the core operating model of IT and the business.
With either group it's important for the CIO not to sit on the sidelines and wait for these trends to shape their businesses. The key, Deloitte says, is to stay in control and use them to your advantage.
