Gartner recently forecast the top strategic technologies for 2010, and anyone who works in, reads about, or uses technology can probably guess what took the top spot: Cloud computing. Given the every-penny-counts nature of business these days, seeing analytics in the second spot isn't much of a surprise either.
The tremendous volatility and change that smacked the global economy has made keen, data-driven insight more valuable than ever. IBM seems to have analyzed its own data astutely, as the tech giant not only debuted a new Business Analytics Optimization unit in 2009,it also synthesized Gartner's two hottest technologies into a new offering called the Smart Analytics Cloud.
With the Smart Analytics Cloud, IBM is its own use case; the company created a private cloud to provide 200,000 of its employees around the world with access to real-time information about customers, suppliers and other contacts from nearly any location.
