Gartner defines a strategic technology as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise performance in the next three years. Significant impacts include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major dollar investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
A strategic technology may be an existing technology that has matured and/or become suitable for a wider range of uses. It may also be an emerging technology that offers an opportunity for strategic business advantage for early adopters or with potential for significant market disruption in the next five years. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.
The top 10 technologies should be factored into their strategic planning processes of IT companies and IT intensive companies. This does not necessarily mean adoption and investment in all of the listed technologies by all companies, but companies should evaluate them and make deliberate decisions about using them during the next two years.
