The past year has been all about recovery and rebuilding. Enterprises accelerated their technology adoption in a bid to create transformative solutions, reimagine customer relationships, and empower their workforce to steer their way to business growth.
A multitude of new-age technologies and trends made their way to the market - be it multi-cloud computing, the edge, augmented reality, work-from-anywhere, or AI/ML. As 2022 unfolds, businesses across sectors will push the limits to bounce back stronger with technology investments taking the spotlight.
Hybrid and multi-cloud are the way forward
The cloud enables innovation, flexibility, and accessibility and is one of the biggest technological winners of the current times. But in a landscape of rapid transformation, it is evolving into new cloud-native architectures, such as the multi and the hybrid cloud. More and more organizations today are embracing a balanced and integrated approach, combining the merits of different cloud environments. They’re hosting workloads on a mix of public and private clouds, SaaS, and existing infrastructure, depending on individual application environments and precise business needs. Multi clouds are also essential to support the seamless functionality of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data management. In the future, we’ll see businesses adopting new models to unlock greater resilience and elasticity in the cloud.
The untapped potential - at the edge
The edge is where all the action takes place, and edge computing redirects the processing power right where real-time decisions are made. By bringing resources and data closer to the end-user device, the edge accelerates application performance, boosts connectivity and security, and reduces latency. As per an IDC report, by 2023, more than 50% of the new IT infrastructure deployed will be at the edge - five times what it is today. The future will see businesses taking to the edge to unlock increased operational efficiency, innovation, and intelligence.
The power of the data revolution
The business world is fast transitioning to a data-driven culture and its potential needs to be explored with analytics at scale. This massive influx of data is unleashing new opportunities for organizations - be it better decision-making, deeper business engagement, or cultivating a culture of purpose. Data needs to be leveraged to support organizational efficiency and capture value where it matters the most. To make sense of this increasingly complex, ever-evolving data pool, businesses should introduce new behaviors, processes, and data-ready skills to stay ahead of the pack in the data era.
Cybersecurity is stronger ahead
With the coming in of the new technology environment, the frequency, scale, and intensity of cyber threats are increasing. Enterprises across sectors are more vulnerable to sophisticated cyber-attacks, leading them to step up their cybersecurity game, to defend their all-important operations. Now is the time when next-gen technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning will be harnessed to revolutionize the security industry, with capabilities like pre-emptive detection and speedier remediation of security breaches. In other words, AI and ML-powered platforms will turn the tables for security professionals who will automate the identification of threats, understand their impact, and take preventive action for the future.
The year 2022: Making a case for technology optimism
It is quite clear that the future will bring in a world of increasing human-technology interaction. Technology will be at the forefront of almost every industry vertical, creating value and impact in unprecedented ways. Together, these forces point towards innovation - at an unimaginable scale, which will help to make the world a better place - for both people and businesses.
