Nucleus Research announced its Top 10 Technology Predictions for 2015 today, revealing new trends emerging for the year ahead. Nucleus issues Technology Predictions annually and has proven to be highly accurate in its forecast year over year.
“Our predictions this year show great news for end users. The Dark Cockpit trend continues, where technology becomes more complex under the hood yet more usable and productivity-enabling for the user. At the same time, as custom code diminishes, all companies can benefit from maximizing value from their software over its entire lifecycle,” said Ian Campbell, CEO of Nucleus Research.
The Nucleus Predictions cite Apple, traditional ECM vendors, and IoT hypesters as potential losers in 2015, and mobile and cloud e-commerce as areas for increased investment.
“As many areas of software become more commoditized and leading vendors focus on verticalization, even down to the microvertical level, companies can achieve faster time to value. That said, losing vendors will be those whose offerings are only sold as commodities and those that don’t put configuration capabilities into the hands of business users,” said Rebecca Wettemann, VP of research for Nucleus Research.
