GARTNER HYPE CYCLE 2015 BIG DATA FULL
True, but does that mean that they are leapfrogging from the trough of disillusionment directly into full production for primetime consumption within a year? That seems unlikely. She mentioned that the technologies are changing VERY rapidly. Does it work? Does it work well? Are people using it? Is it ready? These are considered distinct and separate concepts from reporting about the “hype,” the industry conversations and reporting around any specific tech. It isn’t just about the hype anymore, but each report includes information on the specific technologies, their benefits, their maturity, and how well adapted they are to their market. They’ve expanded the way the hype cycle reports give information. It’s really an expression of what we’re hearing as industry noise.” Betsy Burton on the 2015 Gartner Hype Cycles. “But it’s really important that people DON’T consider a position on the Hype Cycle - in other words, moving towards the peak, or even moving towards the trough - as an indication of maturity.

Hype Cycles 2015: “VP Distinguished Analyst Betsy Burton talks about this year’s Hype Cycle Special Report.” īetsy Burton explains that Big Data is gone as a hype cycle report because the concept is in so many places they decided to fold it in to each of those other reports. There is a video on the main Hype Cycle page that hints at a bit of the why. A lot of very interesting topics are now missing from the report, but are still not quite ready for prime time. Things that were in the trough last year and should have theoretically been climbing out this year (like “mobile health monitoring” and “near field communication”) are also gone. Are they considered mature now? I’m not sure. Concepts like “speech recognition” and “consumer telematics” are gone. This one was immediately and visibly different from others.ĭo you see what I see? The long tail on the right (“Slope of Enlightenment” and “Plateau of Productivity”) for 2015 is FAR more sparse and empty than the others. I’ve been tracking the Hype Cycle as long as I’ve been working in emerging tech.
