TFI Provides Technology Trends for 2007

For the third year running, Technology Futures, Inc. (TFI) provides a list of forward-looking trends for the coming year that will have significant impact on companies that use technology for competitive advantage. Commenting on the list, the author, David Smith (Vice President, TFI) states, “2005 and 2006 were periods spent building capacity and capabilities. We characterize 2007 as one of transition. We see tipping points in several technology areas, consequently positioning many companies in a multitude of markets. Two examples of these tipping points are broadband penetration and the death of single core processing chips.”

Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 29, 2006 — For the third year running, Technology Futures, Inc. (TFI) provides a list of forward-looking trends for the coming year that will have significant impact on companies that use technology for competitive advantage. Commenting on the list, the author, David Smith (Vice President, TFI) states, “2005 and 2006 were periods spent building capacity and capabilities. We characterize 2007 as one of transition. We see tipping points in several technology areas, consequently positioning many companies in a multitude of markets. Two examples of these tipping points are broadband penetration and the death of single core processing chips.”



The list below provides more information on these trends and others that will be of great consequence to those involved with global business, technology business process, science and universities, government agencies, federal labs, corporate labs, and technology savvy consumers.


SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGY TRENDS FOR 2007:



(1) Broadband and high-speed wireless penetration rapidly increases, as does the growth of new applications that can exploit these higher speeds.



In 2007 we begin to see broadband (wireless and terrestrial) exploited for new markets as well as dramatic changes in old markets. A good example is in 2007 more money will be spent for online advertising than for print advertising. The digital home will reach a tipping point with the integration of electronic gaming, MP3/high DEF audio, do it yourself (DIY) content production (such as Google youtube and the media content of MySpace), high definition television, and increasing demand for IPTV using new generation game consoles and set-top boxes. This do-it-yourself content creation will vastly expand on P2P networks, and will ride on the back of expanding computing power, storage expansion, broadband penetration, and Reeds law of community building. Social networking, which took off during 2006, will expand during 2007 to further personalize life on-line. This personalization will be both media intensive, such as on MySpace, and content intensive, such as the Google personal homepage, which is the fastest-growing of all Google products.



(2) The IT world sees several tipping points with the death of single core processors and the emergence of multicore as the standard. This change will have rippling effects throughout the industry.



Programming will have to adapt from the old linear approach to a new image-based model, which takes into account more fully the potential of synchronized parallel processing and new storage capabilities. Part of this new storage capability is that 2007 will be the year that flash memory hits the mainstream. During 2007, approximately 17 different fabs will be put into production, and the vast majority of these fabs will produce flash chips. We will see major technology companies introducing computers without a disk drive, with flash being considerably faster and more durable than the current disk drives. The new OSs from Microsoft and Apple will take advantage of this flash, and the increased capacity will usher in new applications in the mobile domain. Flash memory can be multiported, adding to the potential of synchronized parallel processing.



(3) Digital Convergence enters a new stage of growth and finally begins to exploit the benefits of horizontal digital convergence.



The need for higher profits, value partnering, and time compression forces traditional companies to look for solutions and capabilities outside of their traditional vertical industries. An example is the health industry looking at the new Nintendo Wii game console, with its motion sensitive controllers, as a way to motivate exercise and physical therapy. This horizontal convergence will be further built upon the transitioning of outsourcing to smart sourcing. Smart sourcing is when organizations utilize the Reeds law approach of self forming groups to help identify, jointly design, and jointly produce products that are not in the organizations core competencies. This is particularly important as the design and product lifecycles continue to compress, and new convergence products reach beyond traditional product lines. With the growth of broadband Internet, smart phones and devices, and various always-on product and tools, the timing is right to exploit these new capabilities.



(4) The corporate scorecard is in transition. Global mergers and acquisitions continue to grow–the consolidation fueled by Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance.



These mergers and acquisitions will enable cross enterprise processes, and will position companies to take better advantage of the first three trends. This trend will also help change the definition of the corporate home office. Most senior executives will increasingly work in locations other than their traditional corporate suite. This will accelerate the growth of software mini-applications that will bring business intelligence and information from the Web to you on whatever device youre using, and in whatever location you happen to be in. A particular winner will be the Pacific Rim with ChinaPan (China and Japan) exploiting self forming groups, ubiquitous processing, communications, and digital convergence to usher in a new integrated, non-vertical industry centric science/design/manufacturing center to support globally developed IP.



(5) The first market acceptance of smart phones for mobile commerce and epayments in North America is seen. This furthers the importance of smart phones and smart devices to the expanding impact of the Internet.



At the end of 2006, Internet penetration was only about 20% worldwide. Most of the new users first experience on the Internet will be on handheld devices, and not desktop or notebook computing devices. This growth of new users will see new applications being developed to support mobile commerce and epayments. Full acceptance of epayments in North America is still 3 to 5 years away, but the positioning and acceptance will reach market acceleration by the end of 2007.



(6) The threat to security and privacy continues to be real, with a focus on authentication issues and the shifting digital rights management for devices outside traditional computing tools.



New classes of applications that focus on Internet protocol being used more widely across devices outside traditional computing tools create continuing challenges.



(7) The age of Bio continues to grow in importance as new products from the industry consolidations of 2006 begin coming to market in 2007/2008.



Digital convergence also impacts the age of Bio with evidence-based medicine being enabled by the horizontal convergence of multiple industries.

Network Instruments and NetQoS partnered in December 2006 to deliver a unified solution for managing enterprise networks for application performance and quickly identifying the root cause of any network degradation through retrospective network analysis (RNA). Network Instruments offers the ability to collect and store all packets traversing the network for back-in-time analysis with its GigaStor” appliance. The NetQoS SuperAgent® product offers the ability to identify the source of application, server, and network performance problems, and to automatically launch investigations that gather diagnostic information specific to the issue.



Together, the new offering will show not only when and where network performance degraded, but also how and why that degradation occurred. The partnership emerged from customer requests to provide an integrated toolset that allows engineers to move seamlessly between the enterprise view of network and application performance and retrospective network analysis for easier and faster problem resolution. The unified offering will be available worldwide from NetQoS in first half of 2007. NetQoS is currently selling the Network Instruments GigaStor through its direct sales organization worldwide.
