BIZTECHBUZZ in the world of social, cognitive, IoT and startups

Skills gaps are creating huge challenges in Social, Mobile,

The IBM Tech Trends report is based on a survey of more than 1,200 professionals who make technology decisions for their organizations (22 percent IT managers, 53 percent IT practitioners, and 25 percent business professionals). Our respondents come from 16 different industries and 13 countries, spanning both major and growth markets.

I was surprised that mobile is the largest gap, followed by Cloud.  While there is a gap in Social, of the Big 4, it is the best one.

Thoughts?  Any surprises to you?!
