#7 Web-scale IT

With their great contributions towards the field of technology, firms like Facebook, Amazon and Walmart have provided heavy contributions to innovative database systems and cloud services. Multinational giants are lifting the standard of technology to new heights with the introduction of eco-friendly data centers, custom server hardwares and distributed computing methods.

"It's not the cloud per se that will save enterprise IT, but thinking and acting like the major cloud providers across all the key dimensions of IT that will,” says Cameron Haight, VP of Gartner Research. The declining margin have helped small and mid-sized firms to acquire the technologies which only the industry giants used to poses.

#6 Social networks that are IT policy friendly

Technologically educated millennial have already embraced e-mails and other smart communication methods leaving behind the traditional paper memos. Enterprise social networks will certainly be the talk of the town in 2014 with services such as Salesforce Chatter, Microsoft Yammer and SocialCast from VMWare already up for show.
