It's long past the time for you to get your ducks in order for your 2010 technology plans. But if you still have any doubts about where you are going, you can check out Gartner's top 10 technologies that could impact the enterprise market in the next three years.

To make the list, Gartner based its selections on the technologies' potential to disrupt IT or business, the demand for investing considerable dollars in a technology, as well as the risk for companies that adopt a particular technology late.

Eweek.com highlighted the top 10 technologies in a very neat slideshow explaining what's up and why.

Among those on the Gartner list:

• Cloud Computing will force IT giants such as Microsoft and IBM to compete in the cloud.
• Reshaping the data center: There's plenty of discussion about how to redesign the data center that is getting bigger all the time. Do you build more now or wait until you actually need it?
• Green IT: It's an idea whose time has come and can save you plenty of money if you do it right.
• Social computing is here but how do you use it effectively?
