After much tooing and froing here’s my final Top 10 IT Trends list for 2008/9. The list could obviously go on and on but I think it’s a reasonable summation of where most CIOs heads are at. The only thing that could be missing is the skills shortage within IT.

1.Green IT
2.Data Risk & Security
3.Data Mining
4.Virtualisation
5.Shopping 2.0
6.Open Innovation
7.Rise of the Machines
8.Process automation
9.Too Much Information
10.Simplicity

I’ll expand on each of these in due course…
