Are you a futuristic CEO or CIO who like to sail with the winds of change? Then, take the digital transformation route in 2019, and leverage the might of emerging technologies such as AI, 5G and edge computing. If you are only hell bent on optimizing current operations, think again – you are failing to create new business models, and that is already fighting a lost battle of sort. Here are seven enterprise technology trends that will heavily impact digital transformation this year.
– Foundational technologies including 4G, SDN and the IoT have been already changing the business landscape. Come 2019 there will be a flurry of disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, Automation & Robotics, Machine Learning (ML), Augmented and Virtual reality (AR/VR), next-gen cloud services such as edge computing, as they shift gears from concept to reality; early adopters of these technology are clearly the winners of the race.
– Deploying a robust network foundation that allows businesses to establish innovative platforms and solutions to drive business forward. Expert industrial partners who can help enterprises and organizations deliver on the business objectives front mandated by professional services and support hold the key.
– Customer experience (CX) with the advancement of AI will unleash fresh opportunities in terms of personalised experience and user engagement for solid relationships.
– Business success will be shaped by how well CIOs harness the power of SDN for increased flexibility, agility and scalability. No more the focus will be just on the transaction guarantee, as it goes past application-aware networking. The focus will be no longer on defining policies to support the particular application, location needs or time that will set it apart.
– Businesses and customers will expect a higher sense of privacy, personal data security and safety than before with a paradigm shift to contextual privacy needs, interfaced with location-based awareness.
– The fear that AI will be a job-stealer will give way to specialist jobs in the era of AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science expanding the repertoire of current skill sets and workforce requirements.
– Organizations will be looking to build citadels against critical data security vulnerabilities. This will prove more critical in the coming years. New approaches will help gain immediate insights into the customer and business operations. Real-time insights will take centre stage in 2019. And going forward, it is about why you need to build your digital assets than how you do it.
