Top Enterprise IT Trends
The two biggest trends are proliferation of mobile devices (tablet PC and smartphone) and group buying (e-commerce).
Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab being the two most popular tablet PC in Malaysia. In terms of smartphone, it is the war between iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S.
Everybody is playing angry bird, including my young cousins, it is the killer app for 2011.
For group buying, there are more and more companies getting into the business. The ones that I know about are Groupon, Google's Offers, DealMates, MilkADeal, Yahoo MyDeal, Idealised and etc.
Cloud Computing
The year 2011 is the year of cloud computing, there is no single doubt about this.
If you are not into cloud computing, you are literally out of the game.
Here is summary of cloud computing product offerings.
In my personal opinion, I feel that enterprises will not adopt it immediately. The catalysts are developers and SMBs.
Developers want to make money and cloud computing actually provides a way for developers to build large and powerful solution in the garage!
For SMBs, especially those in Malaysia, cloud computing is a blessing because of three reasons:
1.) More developers are developing solutions deployed on cloud.
2.) Big vendors provide solutions on cloud at a lower cost.
3.) Adoption of cloud computing solution has lower entry barrier cost.
In term of entrepreneurship, cloud computing presents an great opportunity for start-ups to break the monopoly of big time players like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, HP and etc in the enterprise market.
Believe it, this is your chance. And it is moving without de factor steward at the moment. Whoever capable of seizing the moment fast will be able to at least make a cut.
