Top Underreported IT Stories in 2007

TAGS: Open Source

The editorial staff and bloggers at InfoWorld did some brainstorming in recent weeks to write up the top underreported stories in IT for the year. Although the topic is a bit of an oxymoron (if a tree falls in the forest, kind of thing...) I think its a good story and well worth reading. We all get busy with the normal day-to-day, week-to-week management and I think it's helpful to take a look back at some of the emerging trends.

There's also a set of slides highlighting the stories.

Some of the top items include the emergence of Java as the new COBOL, Sun's turnaround. open source's commercial strategy, renewed interest in BI, and to me the most important item, the balance of power shifting to software buyers.

There was also some interesting discussions about the stories that didn't make the cut, but I'll save that for a later posting.
