O Gartner, Inc., world leader in research and advice for companies, announces the 10 main technological trends that organizations will be able to explore in 2023.
“To improve their organization's financial position in times of economic turmoil, IT directors and executives must look beyond cost savings to new forms of operational excellence while continuing to accelerate digital transformation,” he says. Frances Karamouzis, Analyst and Vice President at Gartner. “Gartner's Strategic Technology Trends for 2023 are built around three themes: optimize, scale, and pioneer — where innovations can help companies that want to strengthen resilience and confidence in their operations; scale vertical solutions and product delivery; or even to be pioneers with other ways of engagement, accelerated responses or business opportunities.”
“However, in 2023, delivering technology will not be enough. These themes are impacted by environmental, social and governance (ESG) expectations and regulations, which translate into a shared responsibility to apply sustainable resources. Every investment will need to be compared to its impact on the environment, with future generations in mind. Thus, 'sustainable by default' as an objective requires sustainable technology”, explains David Groombridge, Analyst and Vice President at Gartner.
At key strategic technology trends for 2023 are:
Sustainability - Sustainability influences all strategic technology trends for 2023. In a recent Gartner research, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) reported that environmental and social change is now one of the top three priorities for investors, after profit and revenue. This means executives must invest more in innovative solutions designed to meet ESG demand to meet targets.
To do this, institutions need a new framework that increases the energy and materials efficiency of IT services, enables business sustainability through features such as traceability, analytics, renewable energy and Artificial Intelligence, and implements IT capabilities to help customers achieve their goals.
BE PIONEER
Metaverse - Gartner defines metaverse as a collective 3D virtual shared space created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality. In addition, it is persistent, providing enhanced immersive experiences. Gartner expects that a complete metaverse will be independent of any device and that it will not be owned by a single vendor. According to analysts, the metaverse will have a virtual economy of its own, enabled by digital currencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). By 2027, the analysis predicts that more than 40% of large institutions worldwide will use a combination of web3, Cloud, Augmented Reality (AR) and Gemeos Digital in metaverse-based projects aimed at increasing revenue.
super apps - A superapp combines the features of an app, a platform and an ecosystem into a single piece of software. Not only does it have its own set of functionality, it also provides an ideal environment for third parties to develop and publish their own applets. By 2027, Gartner predicts that more than 50% of the global population will be daily active users of various superapps.
“While most examples of a superapp are from mobile apps, the concept can also be applied to desktop apps like Microsoft Teams and Slack, with the key being that a superapp can consolidate and replace multiple resources for use by clients or customers. employees”, says Karamouzis.
Adaptive Artificial Intelligence – Adaptive Artificial Intelligence systems aim to continually train models and learn in runtime and development environments based on new data to quickly adapt to changing real-world circumstances that were not anticipated or available during initial development. They use real-time feedback to dynamically change their learning and adjust goals. This makes them suitable for operations where rapid changes in the external environment or ever-changing corporate objectives require an optimized response.
OPTIMIZE
Digital immune system – According to Gartner, 76% of the teams responsible for digital products are now also responsible for generating revenue. Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are looking for new practices and approaches that their teams can adopt to deliver this high business value while mitigating risk and increasing customer satisfaction. A digital immune system provides that roadmap.
Digital immunity combines data-driven insights into operations, automated and extreme testing, automated incident resolution, software engineering in IT operations, and application supply chain security to increase systems resilience and stability. Gartner predicts that by 2025, institutions that invest in building digital immunity will reduce system downtime by as much as 80%—and that directly translates to higher revenue.
Applied observability - Observable data reflects the digitized artifacts such as logs, traces, API calls, dwell time, file downloads and transfers, that appear when any stakeholder takes any type of action. Applied observability feeds these observable artifacts back into a highly orchestrated and integrated approach to accelerate decision making. organizational decisions.
“Applied observability allows organizations to exploit their data artifacts for competitive advantage,” says Karamouzis. “It's powerful because it elevates the strategic importance of the right data at the right time to quick action based on confirmed stakeholder actions rather than intentions. When strategically planned and successfully executed, applied observability is the most powerful source of data-driven decision making.”
Artificial Intelligence Trust, Risk and Security Management – Many organizations are not well prepared to manage the risks of Artificial Intelligence. One Gartner research in the US, UK and Germany indicates that 41% institutions have experienced an Artificial Intelligence privacy breach or security incident. However, this same survey found that companies that actively managed AI risk, privacy, and security fared better on AI projects. More of their AI projects moved from proof-of-concept status to production and achieved more business value than AI projects in businesses that did not actively manage these functions.
Institutions must implement new features to ensure the reliability, reliability, security and data protection of the model. Artificial Intelligence Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM) requires participants from different business units to work together to implement new measures.
SCALE
Industry Cloud Platforms - At Cloud Platforms industries offer a combination of software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS), providing industry-specific modular feature sets to support specific business use cases. Companies can use the tools of industry Cloud Computing platforms as building blocks to compose unique and differentiated digital business initiatives, providing agility, innovation and reduced time to market, avoiding delays.
By 2027, Gartner predicts that more than 50% of organizations will use Industry Cloud platforms to accelerate their business initiatives.
platform engineering – Platform engineering is the discipline of building and operating self-service in-house development platforms for software delivery and lifecycle management. The goal of platform engineering is to optimize the developer experience and accelerate the delivery of customer value by product teams.
Gartner predicts that 80% from organizations Software Engineering will establish platform teams by 2026 and that 75% of them will include self-service portals for developers.
Wireless value realization – While no one technology dominates, companies will use a spectrum of wireless solutions to suit all environments, from office Wi-Fi, mobile device services, low-power services and even radio connectivity. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 60% organizations will be using five or more wireless solutions simultaneously.
As networks go beyond pure connectivity, they will provide insights using built-in analytics, and low-power systems will draw power directly from the grid. This means that the network will become a source of direct business value.
