Infographics - Looking to the future: 10 global IT market trends
Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and every year brings with it innovations and breakthroughs that are transforming our world. In this article, we explore technology trends based on research from leading sources such as Gartner, Forbes, and Deloitte.
1. Metaverse
The Metaverse is a virtual environment where people can interact with each other and with digital content across multiple platforms and devices. It is expected to become a new frontier for entertainment, communication, education and commerce.
The Metaverse will have its own virtual economy, which will be supported by digital currencies and non-playable tokens (NFTs).
2. Digital immune system
The digital immune system is a set of technologies and processes capable of detecting, preventing and responding to cyberattacks in real time. It uses artificial intelligence, automation and coordination to create resilient and adaptive defenses.
3. Applied observability
The transparency of the activities of the departments of the enterprise is necessary both for developing a strategy and for solving current business problems, such as improving the efficiency of processes or individual employees, reducing costs, etc. For this, an approach is used that is a projection of the process approach to IT management.
Applied Observability is an approach that provides transparency of operations within the company, which is essential for business management. In other words, applied observability helps organizations gain insight into their operations, optimize resources, and achieve better results.
4. Super Apps
Super Apps are mobile apps that offer a wide range of services and features within a single interface. Their goal is to provide convenience, personalization and integration for users. Examples of super apps are WeChat, Grab, and Gojek.
According to Deloitte analysts, who assessed the super-apps available in the global market and the current state of Western markets, eight trends will develop in the next three to five years:
- The first super apps will appear in Western countries by 2025.
- Those who successfully implement super app strategies are already big platform players.
- Social media companies, ridesharing companies and payment processors are more likely to succeed in developing super-apps than incumbent banking or insurance companies.
- There won't be a single dominant super app like WeChat in the Western markets in the near future.
- Ideas and advice will be the cornerstone of Western super-apps.
- Western super apps are likely to be transparent about how they collect and use customer data.
- Cryptocurrency can play a potentially key role in driving the growth of super apps.
- The first super apps will probably get B2B.
5. Adaptive AI
Adaptive AI is the ability of artificial intelligence systems to learn from data, feedback, and context without human intervention. It allows AI systems to adapt to changing situations, environments and goals.
6. Trust risk management and AI security
AI TRISM (AI Trust, Risk and Security Management) is a system that will allow organizations to manage the ethical, legal and social implications of using AI in their business processes. It covers aspects such as transparency, accountability, privacy and security of AI systems.
7. Wireless Value Realization
Realizing the value of wireless is the process of capitalizing on new sources of value from wireless technologies such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, satellite internet, and low power broadband networks (LPWAN). It includes the creation of new use cases, business models, and ecosystems that leverage wireless networking capabilities such as high speed, low latency, mass connectivity, and edge computing.
8. Industry cloud platforms
Industry cloud platforms offer a combination of SaaS, platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS), providing industry-specific modular capability sets to support specific use cases.
Enterprises can use the bundled capabilities of industry cloud platforms as building blocks to create unique digital business initiatives that provide novelty, agility, and reduced time to market.
9. Platform Engineering
Platform development is an approach to software development that aims to create scalable, reusable, and adaptable platforms capable of supporting multiple applications and services. It uses principles such as modularity, APIs, microservices, containers, and DevOps. This will improve end user productivity and reduce the burden on development teams.
10. Sustainable technologies
Sustainable technologies are technologies that promote environmental, social and economic sustainability. These include technologies that reduce carbon emissions, increase energy efficiency, promote the development of a circular economy, increase social inclusion and promote ethical practices.
Shell and RWE, two of Europe's largest energy companies, are building the first major green pipeline from wind farms in the North Sea.
In light of these important technological trends, research and forecasts from authoritative sources indicate that we are on the cusp of a new era of progress and innovation. The technologies listed above and many more that we will cover in future ICTNEWS articles are collectively changing the way humanity interacts with the world around it, creates value and enhances security in the digital environment.
