Information technology is not just a topic now. Once it was a topic but now itâs a subject, a group of subjects. My friends, when we talk about trends in information technology, we should know in which topic we want to discuss it. As I know that we have no concern with the IT relating to mathematics, medical, engineering, electronics etc but still when we talk about IT in business, there are many sub-topics. Well I will try to discuss each a little (according to my poor knowledge). I am keeping this thing in mind that you just need a hint rather then a lecture. As I am not IT expert so I will discuss them according to my experience.
<b>First of all I thing these topics are in relation with business.
1. ASP
2. CRM
3. ERP
4. Computer security
5. Wireless computing
6. Web hosting
7. Internet
8. Data bases
</b>
There maybe some other (I donât know)
<b><u>ASP Trends</u></b>
ASP stands for Application Service Provider. It is a service that lets us use software on web rather then on computer. Web based applications are new trend in ASP and they are very important in business point of view.
ASP also stands for Active server page. It is also a new trend. It has kicked out VB script, a popular script language. ASPâs new improvement is ASP .NET. The impact of ASP .NET on web is that it has provided a fast service and an improved method in which components are already compiled rather then being compiled during loading which takes some time. There are many other improvements in ASPs.
<b><u>CRM Trends</u></b>
CRM stands for consumer relationship management and you all know this term better then me so I am jumping to next topic
<b><u>ERP Trends</u></b>
ERP (Enterprise resource planning) is already under discussion so I am skipping it up too.
<b><u>Wireless Trends</u></b>
This is a hot topic now a day. The most impressive improvement in wireless computing is mobile media. Other services include mobile web services, e-mail, storage media etc.
<b><u>Computer security Trends</u></b>
It is a very boring topic for me to discuss. If (surely) you have seen the new version of windows XP or SP2 you know that how much security improvement it contains. New firewalls, virus protection tools, secure web surfing etc. The topic of security will become hotter you will see.
<b><u>Web hosting Trends</u></b>
Free web hosting, GBs free space, more band width, extra facilities, .NET supporting web hosting, advertisements. Web hosting has become a fashion. Even I am planning to move on some ASP and .NET supporting free web hosts.
<b><u>Data bases Trends</u></b>
Data base is the basic functionality of computer. Most resent and great improvement in data base is the concept of disconnected databases. We know when many people/groups are communicating on internet; it hearts the speed of data. In this system one person or group receives data in bulk (if you are on row # 20, it may also pre-load rows from #15 to #25) so that the data should be available when there is no connection. In this way, speed increases and errors reduce. It also increases the safety of data.
i.e. if data is coming from point âAâ (Server) to point âBâ (Computer). Under this method it will not directly arrive to point âBâ but will be stored in an XML file. Now cable is free for others and you can still use the available data. When you will modify or update the data, it will go to XML file from point âBâ and then to point âAâ
<b>64-bit computing is also a new trend but some expert rejected it and said that it is too early for the current technology.
