In its 2013 Top 10 Technology Trends for Business report released today, PwC US reveals the most significant trends in technology that are reshaping strategies, business models, and enterprise investments this year. According to PwC, 10 significant trends will impact businesses this year:

1.     Pervasive Computing: The ability to digitally engage and interact (via your mobile devices) with enabled objects around you

2.     Cyber Security: Continues to be a pressing issue, as technology enabled processes increasingly underpin and fuel the global economy

3.     Big Data Mining & Analysis: More than managing dizzying amounts of data faster and cheaper; it is about making better business decisions

4.     Private Cloud: Due to security and regulatory concerns, larger enterprises have been primarily operating in a trial mode of private/hybrid clouds and this will change in 2013. Consumers of IT are demanding greater value from IT services

5.     Enterprise Social Networking: Becoming a core tool for the new social workforce; the key insight for organizations succeeding in building value from this technology is social business processes redesign

6.     Digital Delivery of Products & Services: Customers are driving companies of all shapes and sizes to develop new, technology-based ways of delivering value.  Digital delivery of products and services can open tremendous new pathways for growth, but companies must shift their underlying business operations to support this new business model

7.     Public Cloud Infrastructure: Cloud adoption will continue to mature with hybrid cloud architecture becoming the mainstay as companies of all sizes leverage public cloud services

8.     Data Visualization: Leading edge companies will explore dynamic virtualization techniques and advanced display devices to navigate through multiple dimensions of data

9.     Simulation & Scenario Modeling: Organizations are increasingly focusing on simulation models that enable executives to envision the potential impact of their choices before making investments
