People – Employees, led by a new wave of Generation Y-ers entering the workforce, will forever change the way people interact with enterprise applications and information systems.
Technology – Popular Web 2.0 data delivery and sharing technologies, like RSS/ATOM, AJAX, personalized homepages, tagging and social bookmarking, are open and inherently insecure.
