A new year always represents a new opportunity to go further and do better. When we talk about IT, it’s important to understand where and how to allocate resources to maximize the outcome. And tech trends can be a precious guide.
In the increasingly digital and global economy we live in, making the most out of innovations and what technology has to offer makes all the difference. Agility, personalization, continuous innovation and the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing market and a highly demanding customer are the basis of success.
What are the tech trends to consider in the near future? We went to find out and leave you with some ideas that gather consensus among the various experts in the field.
Tech trends to keep in mind
1. AI is here to stay
If there were any doubts, the last few years have helped to dispel them: the technologies associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) are a tech trend to stay. AI is the ability of a system or a program to think and learn from the experience. It is known for its importance in image and speech recognition, fraud prevention, personal assistants, chatbots and so much more. Are you taking advantage of it? According to a recent study, AI will grow to a 190 billion dollar industry by 2025 with global spending on cognitive and AI systems reaching over 57 billion dollars already this year.
2. The power of datafication
Transforming everything in our life into devices or software powered by data. That’s what specialists call “Datafication”. From smartphones, industrial machines, and office applications to AI-powered appliances, the fact is that data-driven “anything” gains more importance day by day. And, “Datafication” may well be seen as one of the latest in a series of customer-centric practices that are changing business landscape.
3. Low-code on the rise
Gartner forecasts worldwide low-code development technologies market to grow 20% in 2023. A rise in business technologists and a growing number of enterprise-wide hyperautomation and composable business initiatives will be the key drivers accelerating the adoption. Interest in hyperautomation continues to grow due to rising operational optimization demands, a widening skills gap and increasing economic pressures. Investments that support innovation and composable integration will also grow as organizations embrace the composable enterprise, a modular approach to digital service delivery and software development. Composable enterprises require better reuse of existing packaged business capabilities for agile application development and to create custom user experiences for new workflows and processes. If not yet, this has been a top tech trend you should definitely go into.
4. Metaverse is the new universe
Metaverse allows people to replicate or enhance their physical activities by transporting or extending them into a virtual world without boundaries. Companies can explore it as an augmented digital transformation strategy in areas such as product development, brand placement, customer engagement and financial flows. It’s a great way to stay ahead of the curve, innovate and delight customers using new kinds of assets and exchange models.
5. Robotic Process Automation
RPA is a technology that simplifies the creation, deployment, and management of software robots that mimic human interactions with digital systems. We may say it is complementary of Business Process Automation based on metaphorical software robots (bots) or AI. Both have been used to replace humans on repetitive, time-consuming tasks. RPA continues to grow and is specially leveraged when combined with techs like NLP (Natural Language Processing) and OCR (Optical Character Recognition), empowering bots to read files, translate voice, convert unstructured to structured data, and input it into your existing systems. Gartner predicts worldwide RPA software spending to reach $3.3 billion in 2023, a 17,5% growth when compared with last year.
