Summary:<\/span>\u00a0Technology will be embedded everywhere and disrupt traditional IT and the vendors and ecosystem that goes with it.<\/p>\n

ORLANDO—Global technology spending will surpass the $4 trillion mark in 2016 and digitization of industries will ultimately force a rethink on what is IT overall, according to Gartner.<\/p>\n

In other words, the technology pie is going to get a lot larger, but murkier.<\/p>\n

The big theme: Cloud<\/a>, mobile, social and big data will come together to create a technology boom with a bevy of challenges and disruption ahead.<\/p>\n

“Every budget is an IT budget,” said Peter Sondergaard, senior vice president of research at Gartner. “Technology is embedded in every product.”<\/p>\n

His point: More technology spending will occur outside traditional procurement methods. Consumers will spend more disposable income on technologies. Industries traditionally thought to be non-tech will be digitized. And technology will be embedded into everything.<\/p>\n

There will be chief digital officers in most companies. By 2015, 25 percent of companies will have a chief digital officer. The role: Digitize the business.<\/p>\n

Gartner’s theme at its Symposium CIO powwow is that there’s a nexus of technologies that will revamp corporate technology, vendors and employment. Nexus is a word that will be beaten to death at this annual CIO leadership therapy session. The forces inside this nexus are all interdependent.<\/p>\n
