#9 The world will spend a whopping $2.1 trillion on tech in 2013It’s a happy environ all around, companies rolling up their sleeves for latest tech and consumers are baring their wallets, for mobile devices and apps. Mobility, cloud computing, social technologies and big data will be the IT market drivers. In the big picture, IDC says worldwide IT spending in 2013 will exceed $2.1 trillion, up 5.7% from 2012.
#8 Tech will grow insanely fast in emerging countriesIT spending in emerging markets will grow by 8.8% in 2013 to more than $730 billion. These will contribute to 34 percent of all IT spending worldwide, and more than 50 percent of all new growth in the IT marketplace. The BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) will continue to dominate IT spending among the emerging markets with China capturing more than a quarter of this spending. The rate of growth in emerging markets will be twice that of developed countries IDC says, and one-third of the customers that IT vendors have will come from these areas.
#7 Big IT companies will feast on smaller cloud playersThe software service market had a blitz in past 12 months, with big vendors like Oracle and SAPS spending billions to buy their way into the IT market. "There will be over $25 billion in SaaS (software as a service) acquisitions over the next 20 months, up from $17 billion in the past 20 months," IDC says. Some companies are too highly valued to make for easy acquisitions, like Salesforce.com which is worth $22 billion, or Box at $1.2 billion. However the bunch of other companies like Okta, Zenoss, and ServiceMax can be up for grabs.
#6 2013 will be a make-it-or-break-it year in mobile for some vendors2013, when it comes to mobile market, mini tablets with screens 8 inches or less will be the rage and will account for 60 percent of tablets sold. The Smartphones and tablets together will contribute to 20 percent growth in IT market. This year will be make-or-break year for mobile platforms. The one who fail to tap at least 50 percent of developers interested in developing apps, it won't survive. Google and Apple are past that threshold but Microsoft now sits at 33 percent and RIM at 9 percent. The surge in mobility will lead to mobile devices surpassing PCs as the method of choice for online access. Mini tablet surge: The tablet market will grow by at least 42% to more than 170 million units in 2013. Mini tablets with screens smaller than 8 inches will account for as much as 60% of unit shipments, up significantly from 33% in 2012.
#5 Big data will get biggerThe big data will continue to grow with investment in technologies and services growing to nearly $10 billion in 2013 following IDC’s prediction of the big-data market growth at an annual rate of 40 percent.
#4 A lot of smaller, specialized clouds will sprout up
This year a lot of cloud technologies were introduced which made it easier and more affordable for anyone to build a cloud network. This exactly will pave the way for a whole bunch of new clouds to crop up in 2013. And most of the clods will serve specific industries like hospitals, construction companies, banks, education organizations and many more.
#3 Everyone will become an IT personPeople who are not a IT professionals will contribute a lot by shopping tech for their companies, it could be in the form of mobile devices, file sharing, and social apps. The phenomenon as some people refer to it is called as Dropbox effect and companies like Box, Asana, and Yammer have built their business models on it. IDC says that in 2013, that business model will pay off and non-IT business managers will buy 80% of new tech directly for their teams.
#2 The data center as we know it is overThe data-center technologies that were founded in 2012 will become the big thing in 2013. The technologies include "converged systems," where companies buy machines that have computation, storage, networking, and software bundled together and other one will be software-defined networks, which is a new way to build networks.
#1 Your work computer will be an ID you keep in your head"Bring Your Own Identity" popularly called as BYOID will bring consumerization to enterprise security in 2013. This will be done because the software vendors and IT shops will start using Facebook, Google, and other social and consumer cloud identity services as integral part of their identity management environment that gives them the ability to extend identity management from their enterprise out to wider circles of customers, partners, and prospects.
And eventually it will be clear that "consumerization" is not just about end user devices like Smartphones, tablets; but increasingly about many of the core parts of enterprise IT altogether.
