Gartner’s hype cycle for 2009 was released last week.
Cloud Computing is part of the technologies at “the peak of inflated expectations”. Remember that this time last year, cloud computing was classified as a “technology trigger”.
Can we expect a “plateau of productivity” for 2010? Why not? In 2008, Gartner was already considering mainstream adoption of Cloud Computing to be between 2 to 5 years away and the odds are still good today.
The same hype cycle was released for Business Intelligence & Performance Management topics. Here are the details.
On the Rise
Collaborative Decision Making, Enterprise Metadata Taxonomy and Ontology Management, Supply Base Management, Integrated Business Planning, Product Portfolio Optimization, Marketing Performance Management, Closed-Loop Performance Management, Sales Performance Management, Enterprise Information Management Programs, Web 2.0 and BI, Product Performance Management, SOA-Based Analytic Applications, Information Infrastructure, SaaS BI, Entity Resolution and Analysis, Financial Reporting With XBRL
At the Peak
Price Optimization and Management for B2B, Data Discovery Tools, Master Data Management, Content Analytics, Sales Analytics, Open-Source Business Intelligence Tools
Sliding Into the Trough

Climbing the Slope
