There will be increased exploitation of sensing technologies available in most modern mobile devices as the 'Internet of Things' takes hold. These technologies will drive additional demand for IT to manage, store, analyze and secure the data traffic, privacy and end points.

 

Companies will start to build applications not just with mobile/social platforms in mind, but primarily for mobile/social platforms, with traditional platforms secondary or not supported at all. The management of mobile/social IT will become less about managing and securing the devices themselves, and more about managing and securing the mobile applications and mobile data, all while preserving the user experience.

As the move to agile brings developers, testers, and business closer together, we see DevOps driving the rise of experience-led design. The CIO will be less worried about managing devices and more concerned with managing apps. DevOps will necessitate the reconstitution of traditional frameworks like ITIL, extracting their most valuable concepts and adjusting them for modern, agile development.
