Worldwide Technology Trends: Annual Report
This is our annual report on technology trends, which provides an overview of current adoption trends, investment trends, and customer experience for a variety of new and popular technologies.
This study is based on a survey of 188 IT organizations worldwide conducted from September through December 2020. The IT organizations were asked about their technology adoption plans for the 18-month period stretching into the first half of 2022, as well as their return on investment and total cost of ownership experience over the previous two-year period.
Our current survey covers15 technologies and technology initiatives. We alsolook at 18 early adopter and future technologies to find out which new technologies are viewed as practical versus just hype.
