Whether business usual or unusual…too little too late but progress has been made.
2007 has come and disappear so will 2008, what is at stake remain contested among analysts and commentators. The ICT industry has experience positive development despite lot of SMEs being heavily affected. South Africa is poised to be the next biggest destination for ICT entrepreneurial development, of high concern in 2008 is the high level mergers and acquisitions, threatening the very existent of fair competition and complicated buy-outs.
Issues to look for in 2007;
Global ICT mergers and acquisitions,
Digital Broadcasting in public debate
ICT Executive changing posts, as buyers reshuffles
Aspects of IT going green: a new global movement
Business Process Outsourcing
Open Source debates
ICT Skills to reach a promising level in South Africa
Globally;
Google continues to own the internet (“Google is my life”)
The rise and fall of Yahoo!
Microsoft gain momentum,
More security concerns on social networking tools
Blogsphere gains more popularity
Like any other year, 2008 will be historical in the making, lets hope is business ‘unusual’ as planned; my hands are already on the desk.
Hope a great year!
