The top tech trends for 2015 address three developments: the merging of the real and virtual worlds; the advent of intelligence everywhere; and the digital business shift, according to analysts at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, held in October in Orlando, Fla.

Gartner Research defines a strategic tech trend as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise within the next three years. “Significant” factors have a high potential for disruption to the business, end users or IT; require the need for a major investment; or pose risk from being late to adopt. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.

Here are the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2015, as identified by Gartner Research.
