The use of current IT trends will ensure the sustainable development of companies and their ability to create a sustainable technical base with extensive potential for scaling. In turn, this will allow businesses to optimize their costs and increase investments in digital technologies.
Generative AI
One of the most promising types of AI is a method of machine learning (machine learning, ML), in which a neural network processes a certain amount of data (text, images, video) and creates original content based on it. Generative AI has wide opportunities for developing new content in many areas of activity – from advertising and marketing to programming and medicine. Gartner predicts that in 2025 this technology will account for at least 10% of all content produced.
Data Factories
Data factories are B2B intermediary services between IT platforms and customer companies. They help coordinate data exchanges between market participants, improve processing efficiency and storage reliability, optimize scalability, and enable faster adoption and return on investment of new technologies. Another important advantage of data fabric is the availability of built-in analytics modules that can accurately and quickly process information.
Cloud platforms
Cloud technology has been considered a promising trend for years, but in 2022 it will be even more widely used, according to Gartner. In particular, the share of services and applications initially created in the cloud infrastructure will increase significantly. This will provide them with flexible operation of resources for faster, more reliable and affordable development and maintenance of IT solutions. At the same time, the development of cloud platforms will help create products with a fundamentally new architecture – more elastic and scalable.
Decision-making intelligence
This is a method of structured decision making that combines data science and social science theory. The development of this discipline will help scale machine learning technologies effectively. The essence of the method is that each decision is presented as a set of processes that allow you to analyze actions, get feedback and adjust them based on the information obtained.
Cybersecurity Network
The Cyber Security Network (CSMA) provides a flexible, distributed and integrated security architecture for companies. Gartner experts argue that businesses need to decentralize security measures for their IT products, focusing on the security of users themselves, not just the services and applications themselves.
Composite applications
Such applications are based on a set of modular components, which helps to change the software architecture quickly and securely. Composite applications are far more adaptive than “end-to-end” products. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the market launch and scaling of software, as well as the development of new products based on existing code.
Hyperautomation
This trend provides for large-scale automation, covering the maximum number of business processes. Using it, companies can significantly increase their profitability due to accelerated scaling, and reducing the influence of human factor makes business more sustainable. Hyper-automation makes it possible to optimize headcount by entrusting automation with a number of work processes that were previously performed by employees.
Artificial Intelligence Development
Another important business trend in 2022 will be an integrated approach to AI system design. Companies should keep in mind that any existing machine learning models lose relevance rather quickly and cease to be useful for automating business processes. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to building their own models, having previously collected data, designed repositories and analytical layers.
Total experience
Total experience (TX) is a business strategy in which different types of experiences are applied to the activities of companies: employees, customers and users. According to Gartner, this approach helps make all stakeholders more loyal and improve a number of business metrics – primarily the amount of revenue and profits generated.
TX concept is actively used by many IT companies around the world. It consists in building a continuous multi-channel communication with both their customers and employees. In addition, the business spares no expense to attract and retain users and motivated specialists in order to obtain total experience.
