Gartner Hype Cycle

When new technologies make bold promises, how do you discern the hype from what’s commercially viable? And when will such claims pay off, if at all?

Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.

Gartner Hype Cycle methodology gives you a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of your specific business goals.

Clients use Hype Cycles to get educated about the promise of an emerging technology within the context of their industry and individual appetite for risk. Is a moderate approach appropriate?

Executives who are more moderate understand the argument for an early investment but will also insist on a sound cost/benefit analysis when new ways of doing things are not yet fully proven.
