Having worked in the tech industry for close to two decades, Aequor best understands how enterprises willing to run at the speed of change should adopt new business tech trends. This is emphasized as the landscape of tech firms and that of the whole tech industry is constantly shifting. Every other day, there are new products and innovations that push you to take bold steps to squeeze out better financial performance.
To add to the plight, there are often well-funded startups and other aggressive competitors amidst this competition and even customers are seeking enhanced performance, better features, and more flexibility at the lowest price point possible. In such testing times, if businesses have to hit the ground running in 2015, focusing on the top trending technologies that we are unleashing - will greatly help.
Internet of Things
The findings of PricewaterhouseCoopers annual Digital IQ study clearly indicates that the number of things connected to the Internet will be only surging in the future, starting 2015. While in 2015, there will be roughly 25 billion 'things' connected to the Internet, this figure will go up at an astounding rate reaching 50 billion by 2050.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is capable of freeing a huge chunk of the IT from the restrictions of legacy software and hardware licensing data center models. Also, it shall open and revolutionize the way IT delivers services and how the users access information, applications and business services. Here, Hybrid Computing, Containerization of Cloud and DevOps and continuous delivery practices will be the important ones.
# Hybrid Computing will help businesses create a unified environment for operations, besides combining and coordinating multiple cloud services, internal network and application resources.
# Open Source Container tools like Docker (a VMware tool) will help bundle up several different pieces of software and run them on a single server without interference thereby enhancing interoperability between cloud platforms and tools
# DevOps and continuous delivery practices shall enable the rapid deployment of new functions and features leveraging the full potential of cloud application development and the closer integration of various process areas quickly and cost effectively, especially for organizations who are adopting Agile development methodologies.
Big Data
In 2015, we'll see more enterprises switching focus to big data as they will need technology to assist in compiling the droves of data being delivered about a customer's every movement and promoting the use of data to fuel customer engagement improvements.
# Analytics spending will increase; cloud-based and mobile analytics, interactive and responsive analytics, and specialist & niche BI will monopolize the trends.
# “Big Data” won’t remain tied to tech companies. New sensors and drones will revolutionize data collection in agriculture and land surveying industries.
# Analytic infrastructure -- the applications, services, utilities and systems that are used for either preparing data for modeling, estimation, validation, scoring, or related activities -- will become critically important in 2015. Using data mining - these will be applied to a foray of industry verticals including - homeland security, infrastructure management, intelligent transportation, healthcare and bioinformatics, text mining, and social media as well.
Mobility
Companies will have to protect their data from security breaches and scares because data volumes are growing geometrically and more sophisticated, organized crime and nation-sponsored attacks in the cyber space are expected. There’ll be fast growth of security startups who sell security services to SMEs [small and mid-size enterprises], such as fraud checks, scans, pen tests, et al.
As mobile devices are more contained, restrictive and a safer platform, so businesses will opt for them. The shift to mobility is likely going to happen quickly as it seems like the best solution. 80% of the global workforce would need Enterprise Mobile Apps specifically tailored to meet their needs to make the best use of technology on the job.
So mobility could be the next $100 billion opportunity in future, starting 2015.
Conclusion
A quick roundup of what businesses should focus on in 2015 to become more competitive and drive profitability.
- Make use of a common software 'ecosystem' that can take in all the data in a unified way.
- Derive actionable insights from the quantum of data analyzed, not to mention data is increasing dramatically
- Avoid system fragilities
- Usher in more intelligence in infrastructure monitoring
- Perform 'deep dive' analytics on the huge amount of infrastructure data that is accessible
- Identify and defend against security threats more quickly
- Work with enterprise mobile apps, email and browsing
Nevertheless, it is up to you how you make your 2015 a big year.
