Gartner has released a
report on the top ten technology trends for 2020. The 10 strategic technology
trends highlight trends that enterprises need to consider as part of their
five-year strategic technology planning process. Strategic technology trends
have the potential to both create opportunity and drive significant disruption.
The list incorporates
items that would be expected, such as AI and Internet of Things, but takes them
a step further to focus on the aspects of those obvious trends that will be
most important.
In the case of AI, the
focus is on AI related security, which is and will be a major issue along with
ethics. For Blockchain the focus in making it more usable. With the cloud it’s
on distributed cloud.
The report includes the
following recommendations for companies:
■ Center their innovation efforts on people and use tools
such as personas, journey maps, technology radars, and roadmaps to evaluate
opportunities, challenges and time frames for adoption.
■ Build an overarching view across functional and process silos
and exploit a complementary set of tools including RPA, iBPMS, DTO, application
development, and AI domains that guide how the tools are used and the systems
they create are integrated.
■ Embrace multiexperience and implement development platforms
and design principles to support conversational, immersive and increasingly
ambient experiences.
■ Establish governance principles, policies, best practices
and technology architectures to increase transparency and trust regarding data
and the use of AI.
