Technology Priorities for 2008

What are your technological priorities for 2008? The CEO of EMC listed his in a recent blog post at EWeek. They are:

1. Virtualization
2. Storage
3. Security
4. VOIP
5. Enterprise 2.0
6. Software in the cloud
7. Green computing

The two most interesting ones for me are Enterprise 2.0 and Software in the Clouds.

Even though EMC is a large enterprise that specializes in helping other business run and create technology to manage data, Enterprise 2.0 is still a priority. The social networking aspect is something that is new to business, and but it will be around for years to come. Many companies are trying to use these applications to improve their business, even their clients and networking skills. It’s nice to see a company acknowledging that they will make it a priority for their advancement in 2008.

The other is software in the cloud. Many times in this blog, we have written about Google and how they’re striving to keep their new applications up to date such as Google docs. This is just one example of how the future of software and applications is on the Internet. What’s next? Does your company currently use software that is in the clouds?

What are your company’s priorities for 2008? Are they similar to EMC’s?
