Practical Analysis

Before I make my 2012 predictions and offer sage advice, let me preface it all with an obser-vation:Trends in IT and business never happen as abruptly as most folks would like, or predict. So you won't ever hear me declare this to be the year of anything-not cloud, not mobility, not social media. Nor will I declare the death of anything-not Wintel laptops, not proprietary Unix systems, not mainframes.The more central that technology becomes to business, the less likely it is that any one form of it will die suddenly or skyrocket to pre-eminent use.
