テクノロジービジョン2011:今年注目を集める8つのITビジョン
私の勤めるアクセンチュアでは、毎年、その1年でどんなテクノロジーが注目を浴びるかを予測したレポートを2月~3月に発表しているのですが、今年も「テクノロジービジョン2011」として公開されました。
#1. Data Takes its
Rightful Place as a Platform
(プラットフォームの本流となるデータ)
#2. Analytics Is
Driving a Discontinuous Evolution from BI
(BIによる分析がもたらす断続的な進化)
#3. Cloud Computing
Will Create More Value Higher up the Stack
(クラウドコンピューティングによる更なる価値創造)
#4. Architecture
Will Shift from Server-centric to Service-centric
(サーバからサービスへ変化するアーキテクチャの軸)
#5. IT Security Will
Respond Rapidly, Progressively and in Proportion
(ITセキュリティの臨機応変な対応)
#6. Data Privacy
Will Adopt a Risk-based Approach
(リスクベースアプローチに対応するデータプライバシー)
#7. Social Platforms
Will Emerge as a New Source of Business Intelligence
(BIの情報源として活用されるソーシャルプラットフォーム)
#8. User Experience
is What Matters
(重要度を増すユーザエクスペリエンス)

以下、8つのトレンドの概要です。詳しい説明は上記リンク先のPDFを見てもらえると分かるかと思いますので、もしよければダウンロードしてみてください。時間がないので翻訳した説明はつけませんが、PDFファイルをテキスト文書として保存し、それをGoogle翻訳などでざっと訳せば、意味はわかると思います。
#1. Data Takes its Rightful Place as a Platform
The age of viewing everything through an application lens is coming to an end. Coming next: a world in which the quantity, processing speeds, and distribution of data compel IT leaders to see the world through a data lens.
#2. Analytics Is Driving a Discontinuous Evolution from BI
Analytics is emerging as a major differentiator and value creator for businesses. But to reap the real benefits, companies must see analytics as a discontinuous change that will involve several different architectures and deployment models.
#3. Cloud Computing Will Create More Value Higher up the Stack
The current focus on infrastructure cloud doesn’t help organizations differentiate themselves. Together, SaaS and PaaS rather than IaaS will enable IT to create value through a combination of cost reduction, speed to market, agility, and the ability to gracefully integrate business processes with partners and suppliers.
#4. Architecture Will Shift from Server-centric to Service-centric
More mature tools, frameworks, and methodologies will pave the way toward process-centric IT. Rapid advances in infrastructure will drive a new generation of system architecture that will be reconfigurable at runtime to operate on different infrastructures.
#5. IT Security Will Respond Rapidly, Progressively and in Proportion
In the past, IT has architected everything around the idea of “100 percent” security. This fortress mentality must now give way to a realistic and practical approach to IT security. What’s needed now is a cascaded, reflex-like security architecture that responds proportionately to threats when and where they happen.
#6. Data Privacy Will Adopt a Risk-based Approach
Complete data privacy is a myth.all the more so in the WikiLeaks era. Leading organizations already know that. They will be attuned to regulations governing privacy and will develop a risk-based approach to data privacy.
#7. Social Platforms Will Emerge as a New Source of Business Intelligence
Social networks will evolve into “platforms” for reaching customers, tapping into their social identity, and gaining information about them, and about competitors and the market as a whole.
#8. User Experience is What Matters
The ability to create experiences by deeply engaging the user, using natural interfaces and integrating processes and devices, will be what differentiates leading companies and systems from the rest.
ちなみに昨年2010年は、伸縮自在(Elastic)の考え方のもとに、以下の7つをキーテクノロジーとして挙げていました。
Computing forecast: Into
the clouds(クラウドコンピューティングの一般化)
The new Web(ビジネスプラットフォームとして台頭するWeb)
Devices as doorways(ハンディデバイスがビジネスツールの主流に)
Fluid collaboration(新たなワークスタイルによる価値創出)
The conversation economy(SNSによる人的シナジー創出)
Fourth-generation system
development(インフラ自動化と開発スタイルの変化)
Data + decisions = differentiation(データアウトソーシングの急成長)

1年前と比べると、BI(BAM)の重要性が増大し、それに対応するかのように、ITセキュリティやデータプライバシーにも注目が集まってくると予想しています。2011年、どのようなITの変化がビジネスにインパクトをもたらすのか、興味深いです。
