Treffer: Prepare for second age of the internet, says Gartner.

This article reports on the estimation made by analyst firm Gartner Group Inc. that by 2010, every business and organisational activity will revolve around the effective use of Web-based content and applications. At next week's Gartner Symposium in Cannes, France the analyst firm will urge corporate IT users to prepare for the second age of the Internet by looking at consumer developments and trying to apply them to their businesses. The availability of cheap bandwidth, fast desktop hardware, low-cost open source infrastructure products, Web services and Java standards are creating new possibilities for corporate IT, delegates will be told. End-users will expect to connect home PCs and mobile phone devices into the corporate network and run applications such as instant messaging when they are at work. Such technologies are being used within the business without the IT department having a formal strategy on how they should be used. Among the technologies IT directors need to consider is the Asynchronous Javascript and XML specification, which allows developers to build and distribute applications in a way that was not possible five years ago, when the industry was promoting the application service provider model of software delivery over the Internet.
