|
|
IT professionals, according to an IBM survey, predict mobile and cloud computing to emerge as the most in-demand platforms for software application development and IT delivery over the next five years.  The 2010 IBM Tech Trends online survey conducted online by IBM developerWorks provided the insight into the enterprise technology and industry trends based on responses from 2,000 IT developers and specialists across 87 countries. The survey says 55% of all IT professionals expect mobile software application development for devices such as iPhone and Android, and even tablet PCs like iPad and PlayBook, will surpass application development on all other traditional computing platforms by 2015. IBM said that given the proliferation of these mobile devices, industry analysts predict mobile applications sales will witness a massive growth over the next three years, with estimates of mobile application revenues expanding from $6.2 billion this year to nearly $30 billion by 2013.The survey says around 91 percent of respondents anticipate cloud computing to overtake on-premise computing as the primary way organizations acquire IT over the next five years. Mobile and cloud computing will also represent the hottest IT career opportunities starting 2011, followed by social media, business analytics and industry-specific technologies, it said, with telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, and energy and utilities ranking as the top four industries with the greatest opportunity for career expansion. |
