According to predictions on business technologies, the next few years will be pivotal. Furthermore, business technology will continue to evolve much like all sectors of technology. Innovations and new opportunities give manufacturers the ability to improve.
There are a few practical examples of how we can expect the future of business tech to change. This includes robotics, automation and AI. This type of technology is being implemented across many different sectors, not just in business.
We see these changes in user tech devices such as phones, computers and tablets.
How AI Will Continue to Refine and Improve
Machine learning will continue to improve and AI’s ability to make decisions will refine. Organizations have found themselves altering the data management chain to fit in alignment with AI. Infrastructure and legacy data models were made to support humans, not artificial intelligence.
Data capture and analytics are new technologies being introduced with the hope of finding connections in random data. This technology will help organizations make large volumes of data useful.
The goal is that real-time decisions will be made by machines and not humans. Furthermore, these decisions can only be made by machines and not humans due to the volume of data and the need for at-scale and real-time decision making.
ML (machine learning) models oftentimes have hindered development and deployments which are stopping experimentation.
What it comes down to is discipline in the operational phase. If organizations did this, they would be able to successfully scale their AI operations. AI and ML will continue to scale and use model management and maintenance to enhance the technology and automation.
How Cloud Plays a Role
Legacy systems that are modernized and migrated to the cloud will prove to be useful in unlocking the digital potential of an organization.
However, this type of system must stay within an organization’s budget. Core modernizations and migrations of the cloud are not going to be used at the rate they are now. Instead, outsourcing will be reengineering for modernization.
Digital Experience for Customers
As a result of all the changes experienced in 2020, the future of how customers interact is forever changed.
Digital experiences are “the norm” now for conducting everyday activities. However, according to predictions, customers will need a combination of both in-person and digital experiences. Sometimes too much digital life will have customers craving in-person experiences, tailored to their preferences and behaviors.
Security
Cyberattacks are far too common and you can never be too careful when dealing with security. This is why it is essential to always verify information.
The modern system needs to change its current approach where each user, network and device is inherently trusted. With an approach known as “zero trust,” access is solely based upon data points that are available.
Resources such as applications and data are viewed as though they are individual. Access to these is given off the basis of “least privilege.” Planning is necessary for switching over to a zero-trust model. Furthermore, cyber security issues in the foundation of the system will have to be addressed before the new zero-trust model can be used. Also, manual processes would have to be automated.
Working Remotely and Changing the Digital Workspace
With all the changes that took place in 2020, leaders in the business space are asking whether or not a workforce from home can be sustainable and suitable for the future.
In other words, this is a large work-from-home experiment because there has never been a time in our history where so many people worked remotely before. The fear is that face-to-face connections may cause innovation to suffer.
Any negative aspects of the digital workspace could be compensated by companies embracing all the positives that come along with it.
Emerging Technologies
Let’s take a look at some of the tools and emerging business technologies that will change the future of business tech.
