Technology Trends to look for!

Here comes 2019 and the technology trends we can look forward to!!

1. Connected devices through IoT: In the new world of connected devices IoT (Internet of Things ) is the foundation for new business models, platforms and possibilities that will transform how we live and work.

2. AI fueled organisations: According to Gartner within a few years, all software will use AI at some level. Organisation has been asking themselves “How can AI help me”, we might see the “How” in 2019.

3. BI/Big Data driven decision making: Yes this has been a trend but I would say to a privileged few. In 2019 we will see it’s massive use.

4. A blockchain comeback: 2018 was a terrible year for blockchain. Blockchains are not cryptocurrency and it’s time to separate the technology from its application. 2019 will see the comeback and impact Payment processing, money transfers, supply chains, loyalty rewards programs, record keeping, compliances, Digital ID, voting and many more.

5. Increased Automation due to Robotic Process Automation: RPA automates repetitive tasks that people used to do and these are not just the menial tasks of a low-paid worker. McKinsey finds that less than 5 percent of occupations can be totally automated, but about 60 percent can be partially automated. 2019 will see the these automations through RPA.

6. Growing commitment to cybersecurity and privacy: Though cybersecurity is not an emerging technology but the digital disruption has placed it at the core. 2019 will see more sensitive approach against the offenders both “against” the organisation through cybersecurity and “by” the organisation through increased awareness and global calls for data privacy.

7. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to common reality in workplace: Both VR and AR have enormous potential in training, entertainment, education, marketing and other domain. We might see VR coming out of games and and alter the virtual environment in real time.
Daily uses items from E commerce: E commerce has seen an upsurge, I think we will see a continued rise in people purchasing everyday consumables online.

8. Technology Convergence and Consolidation due to technology disruption: We are seeing rise in new age technologies and multi-vendor technologies are being used at same time. 2019 will see convergence between technologies to harness value at greater level. Moving forward in 2019, consolidation will be a result due to technological disruption.
