Gartner Predictions Include PLM and Cloud Services
February 6, 2012
With companies across all industries still struggling to survive after the past few years of economic recession across the globe it is nice to see there is a light at the end of the tunnel. At least that is what analysts at Gartner predict as reported in the article, Gartner Looks Beyond 2012, Sees Big Changes for Payers, Providers, on Healthcare IT News. After studying several industries Gartner produces a report with some very interesting predictions based upon the global economy, technology trends and social media.
A few of the highlights from the report were listed in the article and are as follows,
“Among Gartner’s predictions affecting the healthcare industry in the coming years: By 2014, 30 percent of U.S. private healthcare payers will acquire providers, forcing integration of application suites as delivery and finance merge…By 2015, 30 percent of smart grid projects will leverage cloud services to address big data from converging technologies…By 2014, the five largest product life cycle management software providers will make social networking an integral part of their solution.”
There is a continuing shift to cloud services and new data management solutions as evidenced in the report discussed in the article. As more industries are forced into cloud services due to the economy enterprise search and data management must also adapt. If these predictions hold true it would be a wise decision for businesses to stop viewing cloud services as an ‘if’ and begin making plans on integrating their own enterprise into this brave new world of big data and cloud services.
