The first cuckoo – predictions for 2009
George O’Connor, the prolific analyst at Panmure Gordon is brilliant at finding relatively obscure yet relevant items on the web and he wins the prize for finding the first predictions for 2009. Indeed, similar to hearing the first cuckoo heralding spring, the first set of predictions for the new year presages year end! What he’s dug up is interesting, from the nice people at NetStandard
2009 – We predict . .
As the year draws to a close we are increasingly pressed for our views on 2009 – typically we look to the trusty sword of ‘cut’ and shield of ‘paste’ in our battle to understand the ‘future’. Helpfully NetStandard is early with its predictions – which seem to cover its entire product portfolio.
Predictions include boom times for the following:
Information Security Management, Business Intelligence, Privacy Management, Identity and Access Management, Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery Planning, Audit Process Improvement, Electronic Data Retention Strategy, Improved Application and Data Integration, Enhanced Business Reporting, Document, Forms, Content and Knowledge Management, Training and Competency, Mobile and Remote Computing, Customer Relationship Management, Collaboration – Information Portals, Web Deployed Applications, Moving Beyond MS Office 2003, Virtualization, Tablet Computing and Unified Communications
Now, this is good news for us at Skinkers as the Live Notification Platform has relevance in almost all of these. Seems that making the most of the information generated inside your organisation and turning it to your advantage through appropriate dissemination is going to be all the rage in 2009 if this list is to be believed. This is clearly not a surprise. In difficult times, you need to focus in on what is important and ensure that you make the most of the investments you’ve already made in knowledge, information, systems and processes.
