Gartner announced China's top ten strategic technologies and trends in 2014. These technologies and trends will become the focus of China's CIOs in their pursuit of performance growth and competitiveness in the digital age.

These top ten technologies and trends show the technologies currently used in China and the maturity and popularity of these technologies. According to Gartner's latest forecast, Chinese companies' spending on technology products and services will reach $140.6 billion in 2014.

The top ten strategic technology trends in China in 2014 include:

Mobile device diversification and management

The rapid introduction of BYOD makes corporate action strategies more complex and more challenging. By 2018, with the growth of devices, computing methods, user scenarios and interactive models, managing these diverse devices will be the primary strategic goal of CIOs. In China, the CIO is facing a more severe situation, resulting in a faster device replacement cycle due to the popularity of low-end smart phones in a region. Another notable difference stems from the Chinese employee culture, which tends to work longer and has a tendency to confuse work and life.

2014 China's Top Ten Strategic Technologies 3D Printing and IoT List

Mobile App and Traditional Apps

The Mobile App and apps will continue to grow in 2014, and there is no indication that this trend will slow down. The strong demand for mobile services has led to growth, and it has enabled mobile services to span the early stages of messaging and data acquisition, bringing new capabilities to consumers and businesses. With the popularity of mobile devices to explore the world, Chinese companies are experimenting with new interactive technologies such as QR Code, audio, augmented reality and gestures, including NFC (Near Field Wireless Communication) with QR Code. Has become the most popular technology. Companies are continually accelerating their investment in mobile applications and are trying to become technology first adopters, including banks and airlines, which have launched mobile apps for consumers and employees, such as mobile banking, self-service check-in and cabin services.

Community business

The Community Business Department uses social networks and social media for sales and transactions. In the past five years, China's development in social commerce has led the Western peers. In the United States and Europe, the most common application is product evaluation, and its success in community shopping and social networking business is extremely limited. Conversely, China dominates the market by social network commerce. Tencent QQ, Tencent Weixin and Sina Weibo have become the three major social networks that companies use to promote community commerce in China.

The Internet of Everything

Gartner predicts that IoT devices will grow to 26 billion units by 2020, and IoT products and service providers will create more than $300 billion in marginal revenues, most of which are in service. Chinese leading companies strongly support and encourage China to become a pioneer in the development of the Internet of Things. The government has also issued a series of major policies to achieve innovation in the Internet of Things, and identified nine key areas for government investment in key applications, including: smart industry, smart agriculture, smart logistics, smart grid, smart healthcare, smart home, wisdom Transportation, smart city and management, and smart and environmental protection.

Hybrid cloud and IT as a service intermediary

Hybrid IT is a key operating model in the cloud computing world. With the rise of more and more cloudy computing services, service providers that can provide more valuable hybrid cloud IT management will also grow. This kind of service intermediary can ensure that enterprises provide selection, operation and payment systems in the cloud. Integration, security, and compliance can maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Most Chinese companies have begun to use cloud computing, and their users are gradually accepting this new mode of operation. However, due to certain internal and external factors, Chinese companies have not successfully built a hybrid cloud IT environment. Nonetheless, Gartner expects demand for hybrid solutions to be stronger in the next three years, forcing Chinese companies to adopt technologies to secure, manage and manage solutions within a hybrid IT architecture.

Cloud/client architecture

The rapid growth of smartphone sales, and the proliferation of mobile devices and the proliferation of mobile devices and brands have created a niche for companies adopting new cloud/customer application models in China. The practice of 4G telecom services and emerging public cloud services will further accelerate the development of mobile services and the transformation of client/cloud architecture in the near future. CIOs and corporate IT staff must think about how to deliver a consistent and seamlessly integrated user experience across different mobile endpoints and regain best practices from the software side in terms of integration, modularity, goals and service orientation. Oriented to balance. Fortunately, there are relatively few traditional barriers that Chinese companies have to abandon when introducing new models.

Personal cloud era

Users in China are increasingly embracing a wide range of personal cloud services, such as potato on video streaming platforms, virtual messaging in social networks, cloud storage, and QQ space for cloud storage and data synchronization across devices and platforms. However, the main difference between China's personal cloud services and most mature markets is the for-profit model. At present, the personal cloud services provided in the Chinese market are mostly provided to consumers for free, and even include video streaming services. This situation will change as Chinese companies increasingly focus on how to extend their services to employees, partners or consumers through personal clouds to improve operations and increase revenue.

Software defines everything (SDx)

Software-defined anything (SDx) abstracts IT services (such as computing, networking, security, and storage) from the underlying hardware, thus extending the concept of virtualization to a new phase, all Resources in the data center are extracted, consolidated and automated. The core of the data center SDx includes virtual computing, software-defined networks (SDNs), and software-defined storage (SDS). In China, SDN grows fairly fast in A-type enterprises (ie, companies that are Gartner-defined, actively introducing new technologies, and having sufficient capital, and knowing how to use IT to enhance their competitiveness). In some large-scale e-commerce and cloud service providers, Of course. Although SDS is still at a very early stage, its potential business opportunities have attracted global molding technology manufacturers (such as EMC, HP, etc.), while Chinese manufacturers (such as: DataCore) and global startups (such as Nexenta) have launched related solution.

Network-scale IT (Web-Scale IT)

For most Chinese companies, network-scale IT is a new concept developed by the trend of personalization. The rise of consumer culture is changing the way business operates. Digital marketing and e-commerce require efficient and agile IT support. Considering China's massive operations and network usage communities, IT scalability will become a major issue. These factors present challenges to the scalability, cost, and response rate of traditional IT. Network-scale IT is not only focused on the expansion of IT-related equipment and technology, but also on operational processes and organizational structures.

3D printing

3D printing uses the additive manufacturing method to generate digital objects using the device. This market is clearly divided into three types: bioprinting, personal 3D printing, and enterprise 3D printing. The main advantage of 3D printing is the ability to provide small quantities of items that are customized or not mass produced. 3D printing has many real opportunities in China, from product design, 3D printer manufacturing, printing materials, bioprinting, to professional 3D printing services.

Warning Systems

Alarm release mainly uses standard equipment such as audio alarms. During wartime, communication, broadcasting, and television systems must prioritize the transmission and issuance of air defense alarm signals, and auxiliary means such as sirens, horns, and gongs can also be used. The sound alarm must be set at the designated location, and the alarm facilities must be maintained in good working condition. The release and transmission of alarms should be fast and accurate, and multiple means should be used simultaneously; Strengthen communication and liaison with superiors, subordinates, and neighbors, receive air raid intelligence information at any time, strengthen observation of air targets, and promptly report air raid intelligence; According to the situation and duration of the air raid, timely release the warning signal. With the sudden increase of air raids, the increase of attack methods, and the expansion of destruction, the importance of air defense alerts is increasingly being valued. The accuracy, timeliness, and continuous issuance ability of air defense alerts are required to be higher. The issuance methods of air defense alerts will also become more flexible and diverse with the construction and improvement of communication and network.
