In one of the latest reports Gartner, the world’s leading IT research and advisory company, revealed its list of top 10 strategic technologies for 2010. The company defined a strategic technology as one which has the potential for significant impact on a business entity in the next 3 years. Factors responsible for such impact include the need for a substantial investment, high potential for disruption to IT, or the risk of late adoption.
These technologies are viewed as strategic because of having enough maturity for entering broad market and providing strategic advantage if adopted early. They also influence the organization’s long-term plans and initiatives.
