CIO—In the enterprise, the more you know about the future, the better off you are. This allows executives to make plans for deployments, deal with IT dilemmas and make sound contingency plans. Yet one trend is clear: What we know about technology now will change. Email used to be the standard for most corporate communication, but now the writing is on the wall, giving way to more immediate social transmissions. These seven trends for 2013 will likely affect many businesses of all sizes—including yours.
1. Hospitals Will Move to BYOD
In 2012, the bring your own device to work concept took root. More of us started using iPads and connecting to guest networks than ever before.
Case Study: Israeli University Hospital Putting in Place BYOD Mobile Strategy
Now, we'll see the same transition even with highly regulated, secure environments like hospitals. Companies such as Care Thread focus on this tech transition, making sure personal devices match rigorous company privacy and security standards.
2. 3-D Printing Will Mature
Three-dimensional printing ranked among the major tech trends of 2012, mostly due to the lowering costs of the printers. What used to cost $20,000 now clocks in at under $3,000.
Commentary: HP Should Enter Emerging 3-D Printing Market to Help Turn Itself Around
Today's printers allow you to fabricate a plastic part in your own home office or small business. One interesting side effect: A company called PriveCo sells kits for 3D printing discrete products, from hair-loss products to home medical treatments.
3. Passwords Will Fade Into Oblivion

Leave it to a cover story in Wired magazine to usher in an age-old technology. Biometric security has been around for the past decade or more, but it has never taken root—yet when a hacker steals your password, he often gains access to all your secure portals.
Blog: As Facial Recognition Advances, Should You Worry?
Biometrics uses the iris in your eye, your voice or your fingerprint as a security precaution. In 2013, as we realize how passwords can be easily hacked, we'll finally move into the age of better authentication using your own body.
4. Television Will Go Apptastic
One of the most interesting trends for 2013 will be the app-ification of television. We've seen this trend developing for years, as many viewers only watch TV via Netflix on an Xbox 360. But the trend will finally hit full stride, says Himanshu Sareen, the CEO of IT service provider Icreon Tech, because of the process of curating. What works so well for Pinterest will work the same for TV: already, there are apps such as SnagFilms that are dedicated only to obscure independent films.

Download this ESG whitepaper to read about the consumerization trends and challenges and learn what enterprises should consider when evaluating online file sharing and collaboration solutions. Putting IT Back in Control of BYODOsterman Research conducted a survey of 760 individuals with regard to the BYOD issues they face in their organizations. Personally owned Apple iPhone and iPads, as well as Android smartphones and tablets, are more common than their company-supplied counterparts.
The research also found widespread use of third party, cloud-based storage and file synchronization offerings that are sometimes used with IT's blessing, but more often not. Dropbox, for example, is used in 14% of 1,000+ employee organizations with IT's blessing - and in 44% of them without approval.
Organizations should implement policies and technologies that will channel the BYOD trend into appropriate management of corporate data and assets instead of banning the use of personal devices and applications outright.
