Wondering what 2012 will bring for the IT world?

1. Emergence of Cloud Integration: The SaaS tsunami comes ashore and leaves major integration challenges in its wake. This wake will hit every organization.
2. Big Data yin and yang: We have the platform and the tools. 2012 will see growth in adoption Big Data platforms around Hadoop and disillusionment as many realise that map reduce isn’t a silver bullet.
3. PaaS Mania and Shake Out: 2011 saw the emergence of PaaS vendors. 2012 is the year where we ‘ll see many more, but only a few platforms will achieve dominance. Here’s what you need to look for.
4. The Enterprise Goes Mobile 2.0: Richer mobile applications pulling from multiple data sources will emerge this year.
5. The Web Goes Real Time: Increasingly, streaming APIs will make real time interactions commonplace.
