Technologies such as 'cloud computing' and virtualisation within the enterprise will result in a fifth of businesses owning no IT assets whatsoever by 2012, says Gartner research, with more and more firms using third parties to manage data and services, and with employees using their own laptops or smartphones for work purposes. This, Gartner forecasts, will mean scaling back or reallocation of enterprise IT budgets, while vendors will be forced to reconsider their own strategies.
