Bangalore: The impact of top 10 strategic technologies will not center only on the business but their capabilities will also increasingly become integral to future generations of management architecture, according to Gartner.

 “We are already seeing the adoption of 'big data' within the IT and operations management [ITOM] industry. In particular, software-as-service [SaaS] management providers now have to collect and synthesize large volumes of data,” said Milind Govekar, managing vice president at Gartner.

Below is a list of top 10 technologies and trends by Gartner that will have the biggest impact for most organizations in 2012.

1.  Media tablets and beyond

The media tablet market is seeing rapid device churn, which makes support and management both complex and expensive. With users broadening their use of personal devices for business applications and many organizations deploying mobile device management (MDM) to support different management styles in different ways, Gartner expects these factors to drive the adoption of tools to manage the full life cycle of mobile devices. IT leaders should develop mobility policies to mitigate the risk associated with, for example, the loss of devices and also consider a managed diversity support strategy to deliver IT support that aligns with end-user choice.
