Emerging Technologies

• Hype Cycle for Government Technologies, 2003
  (Gartner Strategic Analysis Report, June 13,
  2003)
• External Web Services Deployments
• Definition The use of Web services to provide
  data interchange and noninvasive application
  integration among enterprises.
• Time to Plateau/Adoption Speed Two to 5 years.
• Justification for Hype Cycle Position/Adoption
  Speed Web services should solve application
  integration problems between enterprises. Web
  services deployment is slower than in the private
  sector because of privacy and security concerns.
• Business Impact Areas Major impact on government
  service intermediation and partnerships.
