IDC Predictions 2007 were released yesterday, and the full document is now available on idc.com.

The key message is that 2007 will be a year of intense “hyperdisruption” in the IT industry, with major structural changes taking place along different industry vectors at once – all interacting with each other and, more important, accelerating each other. In 2007, we’ll see small business become big, more software become services, more services become software, business IT players become more “consumer-ish,” and consumer players become more businesslike. These disruptions, and others, will force most market leaders out of their comfort zones and open up new opportunities to those that choose to surf with these disruptions rather than stand against them.

Here are the 10 major prediction themes:

1. Worldwide IT Spending: Turbulence Remains Under a “Boring” Surface
2. Regional IT Outlook: Mature Markets Recover a Little, Emerging Brake a Little
3. Growth of Contenders Aiming to “Out-BRIC” BRIC
4. “SMB Long Tail” Will Drive New Models, Attract New Disrupters
5. The Battle for “Information Platform” Leadership Will Shift Into High Gear
6. Major Apps Vendors Will Radically Up-Shift Their SaaS, SMB Initiatives
7. Virtualization 2.0 Will Reshape Infrastructure Landscape
8. Services/Software Fusion Picks Up Speed
9. “2-Minute Drill”: IP Hygiene, Channel Mash-Up, Pricing Shift, Nets + SOA = IT
10. Consumer Market: Convergence, Competition and Creativity
