Gartner has identified 10 Strategic Technologies for 2012 in a report published in mid-October &#8211; it&#8217;s worth reading and the time to digest as the trends that they outlined will be very relevant to many organisations. Ericsson have also recently released [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simonwhitcher.wordpress.com&amp;blog=28142526&amp;post=64&amp;subd=simonwhitcher&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
