Yes, it’s a technical discussion, but let’s be pragmatic, you shouldn’t bury your head in the sand whenever the discussion turns technical. A good way to get up to speed on the latest goings on in the world of information technology is to know about the latest trends and predictions. 2007 saw Web 2.0 -- defined here as the pervasive two-way Web used for social media, mashups, user-powered Web applications, and social networking .
The driving forces for change this year will be the aging of existing IT systems, the rise of up-and-coming new approaches such as highly capable new Web-based applications, mashups, collective intelligence powered business software, Web-oriented architectures, and last but certainly not least, social software.
But the changes we’ll see happening in our organizations won’t just be ones that are imposed by necessity, many of them will be driven from the bottom up as we see more and more grassroots IT solutions sprouting up from the trenches of Web-savvy workers, while many existing initiatives, including traditional SOA efforts, intranets and portals, CRM, decision management, and many others get recast and sometimes entirely reinvented using the lessons we’ve learned from the Web 2.0 era over the last two years, with the leading factors being the large scale shift of control to users, lightweight new application types proven in efficacy and scale on the Web, and social computing with Web technologies.
The worlds of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Web 2.0 have been swirling around each other for a couple of years now and in 2008 we’ll finally see these gel into a practical, modern vision of next generation enterprises. And a variety of forces are coming together to make 2008 the year that enterprises refit themselves for the 21st century.

- SOA finally goes pragmatic, Web-oriented, and lightweight: Many of the ponderous, heavyweight SOA initiatives still in existence will finally refactor their design principles and then their architectures to be much more lightweight and restful.
- Enterprise search will remain broken or highly limited in most organizations: Good enterprise search is necessary to leverage the fast growing and woefully under-leveraged information warehoused in the vast acreages of most enterprise data centers. Workers are still left with literally no choice but to pull their information from the Web or sequentially rummage through various silos to piece together what they need instead of putting a few keywords in an enterprise search engine and scanning the results.
- Security will become a major concern as Web 2.0 apps and SaaS make the edge of enterprises increasingly porous: Security around next generation platforms become a fast growing concern and the demand for solutions will grow throughout the year.
- Unstructured information from blogs and wikis will proliferate, driving demand for solutions to extract and consolidate business information: While this will build much needed link structures between information in the organization and will enable effective search to find much of it, there will also be a growing demand to “see” all of this information at a high level and for it to be centralized, normalized, and aggregated.
- A large number of enterprise intranets will get social networking capabilities: The connections workers have between each other are improved when they have easy access to the right tools that effectively help them manage their relationships. Look for the social graph to start to move to the center of attention — replacing or reinventing the traditional address book — and become the organizing structure that communication and collaboration revolves around, for both traditional channels such as e-mail and IM, as well as newer social media/Enterprise 2.0 applications.
- Enterprise mashups will make their appearance in a widespread way but won’t take off big, yet: Despite some shortcomings in capability and the early state of the industry, we’ll see mashup tools being deployed this year by early adopter enterprises and used by IT departments and power users to deliver applications via visual assembly and little coding, leveraging the resources of the local SOA and global SOA to build composite applications with real business value in hours instead of weeks.
- Budget for next generation governance infrastructure will be demanded by IT to manage the proliferation of SaaS, new SOA, and mashups
- Collective intelligence platforms and enterprise decision management support applications will see significant early adoption this year.
- New rich user experience platforms such as Adobe AIR and Microsoft’s Silverlight will see widespread use in the enterprise in 2008
- Mobile devices, such as the iPhone and especially the BlackBerry, will see significant uptake for embedding workers into business processes and Web-based collaboration.
- Web 2.0 versions of traditional enterprise applications will struggle for marketshare amongst the software giants.
- Enterprise 2.0 will become a standard feature in most organizations, while views on the outcomes of deployments in organizations will be viewed through the lens of predisposition.
The worlds of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Web 2.0 have been swirling around each other for a couple of years now and in 2008 we’ll finally see these gel into a practical, modern vision of next generation enterprises.
