This time last year, we asked Cutter Consortium Fellows and Senior Consultants what they foresaw for the 2010 business technology landscape. Their predictions ran the gamut from agile taking off and scaling in a big way (as well as several predictions of big agile failures), to mobile devices becoming the client device of choice; collaboration in the cloud giving companies leverage against the software giants; enterprises embracing collaborative and social business intelligence and social media analytics; scrutiny of the security issues surrounding cloud computing; a renewed focus on the customer experience; and more.

James Odell: systems will no longer primarily be top down. Instead, as individuals, small groups, and organizations interact around the world, technology must support approaches that are more side-by-side.

Claude Baudoin: Expect contractors and consultants to be in demand, and many of them will be ex-employees who, having found their past employer’s loyalty in short supply, will now be more interested in being their own boss than in rejoining as an employee. Ken Collier: Although Agile adoptions will proliferate, we will see an increase Agile project failures due to misunderstanding, misapplication, and misguided attempts to follow an “agile recipe”. …

With the new year upon us, we asked Cutter’s Senior Consultants and Fellows for their business technology predictions. Their perspectives — as always — are quite thoughtful, thought-provoking, and varied.
