10 Emerging Trends in Information Technology for 2020

Tuesday, February 25, 2020 | By Ashley Watters

Technology is an ever-changing playing field and those

wanting to remain at the helm of innovation have to adapt.
The consumer journey is charting a new course and
customers and companies alike are embracing emerging
technologies. As the IT industry trends such as cloud
computing and SaaS become more pervasive, the world
will look to brands who can deliver with accuracy and real-
time efficiency.

To help meet the demands of a technology-enabled

consumer base, businesses and solution providers must also turn toward the latest trends and
possibilities provided by emerging innovations to realize their full potential. But, where to begin?
These are the emerging trends businesses need to keep their eyes on in 2020.

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence holds significant potential for businesses. While we have yet to achieve the
full spectrum of capabilities frequently at the center of futuristic cinema, AI is poised as a tool of
choice for businesses and solution providers. As is often seen with social media, AI, combined
with machine learning, can be a powerful combination. Businesses can use AI to achieve cost-
saving benefits, streamline workflows, enable more efficient communications, improve customer
satisfaction, and provide insight into purchasing behavior.

Additionally, machine learning can analyze large datasets and provide scaled insight. We are
currently just scratching the surface of how machine learning and artificial intelligence can work
together to enable businesses. (Think of IT-industry giants such as Google and Amazon.)

Blockchain
Discussions of blockchain are often hinged on cryptocurrency, but the real power lies in the
immutability and transparency of a blockchain. Due to the fixed and highly visible nature of
blockchains, this trend has been widely accepted to have financial applications, and often
informs discussions of bitcoin. However, the business benefits are much more far reaching.

The blockchain is an information system that holds promise for supply chain management,
enabling transparency into the origin and journey of materials from origin to product. Blockchain
technology will also allow for better record management, providing a snapshot of any record
from its origination. This could be used to verify orders, purchases, returns, receipt of product,
you name it.

Cybersecurity as Critical Business Function

Cybersecurity will no longer operate as an addendum in the world of information technology. As
companies leverage emerging trends and move more toward cloud computing, cybersecurity
will become a critical business functionality and will be an integral business process.

Data protections and PII are real-world concerns that are steadily creeping to the forefront as
media coverage of data breaches affect our trust in brands. Making information security an
operational necessity will position a business as a trusted entity and ensure smooth delivery of
products and services.

Drones
Drones are helping to transform certain verticals, giving an edge over competitors and offering a
technologically powered physical connection between businesses and end users. The remote
capabilities of drones coupled with AI applications are transforming business in the industrial,
public safety, construction, and insurance sectors, just to name a few.

As the drone industry continues to mature, more and more applications are coming to light and
businesses are embracing the possibilities. Gartner predicts that drone shipments will increase
50 percent in 2020. Drones offer a unique opportunity to identify actionable tasks with much less
leg work. Businesses and solution providers can offer enhanced support and real-time services.
As best practices are developed and proper protocols put in place, drones offer real-potential for
businesses.

Edge Computing
Edge computing is a decentralized model which places computing nodes closer to the source of
interaction. Gartner defines edge computing as a model where “information processing and
content collection and delivery are placed closer to the sources, repositories and consumers of
this information.” This model optimizes technological interactions and reduces latency at the
point of origin to enable more effective and real-time data consumption. Edge computing is
quickly becoming the most efficient path for localized interactions.

IoT
As the world becomes more and more digitized, informed business is the key to success and
internet of things provides greater clarity into consumer behavior.

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are

embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and
exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. The Internet of Things is
increasingly offering business opportunities in the form of data collection and analysis.

Unlike traditional data collection methods of the past, the Internet of Things is a conglomeration
of devices that interact, providing substantially greater insight into how products and services
are being applied for everyday tasks. As more devices become IoT enabled, businesses will be
able to design products with a greater understanding of pain points.

Quantum Computing
Quantum computing offers unique opportunities for predictive analysis that extend beyond the
capacity of conventional computing. Quantum computers leverage the principles of
superposition and entanglement to process information on an exponential scale. While Google
came on the scene in 2017 with a promise of the largest quantum computer, IBM has actually
made it possible for businesses to leverage this technology.

Quantum computing offers businesses a powerful tool for predictive analytics and big data
analysis. As we encounter new problems, quantum computing will help predict viable solutions,
though it may not be on the radar for many solution providers or channel partners just yet.

Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality

When we think of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies (now referred to as XR
(Extended Reality), we often drift to possibilities in gaming. While those should not be
overlooked, there is real potential for businesses and solution providers as well.

XR helps provide context to possibility. Consumers and businesses may know that they need a
solution but have difficulty visualizing how a product or service will enable a particular outcome.
Businesses can use XR to enhance their offerings and inform effective decision making.

3D Printing
The business applications for 3D printing are endless. The ability to customize a product
according to personalized specifications will allow businesses to provide nearly limitless
possibilities. In recent years, providing this kind of customization required either significant
reprogramming or manual intervention. With 3D printing, personalization is now one more task
that can be automated. 3D printing also enables the use of various materials that offer cost-
saving and environmentally sustainable benefits.
5G
The speeds accomplished with 5G greatly outpace those seen with previous networks. 5G
offers the supporting foundation that businesses can leverage to embrace emerging
technologies. When unencumbered by latency issues, businesses can provide greater
capabilities and service. Reaching consumer bases via mobile devices and smartphones will
soar to new heights as the IT infrastructure for 5G expands and becomes more pervasive.

Looking toward new technology trends is reaching a state of necessity in business as innovation
continues to reach new heights.

In 2018, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) trends ranged from companies
enhancing their products, services, and experiences digitally to anticipating policy changes that
would disrupt ICT and BPO markets. It was a year where VR/AR experimentation, technology
adoption, cybersecurity, and data-centrism played key roles in companies’ efforts to level up
their digital transformation.

This year, becoming a digital-native enterprise is the next major step for Philippine organizations
that want to be successful in a very global digital economy. To become a “digital native
enterprise” (DNE), their technology and data must be built on an advanced digital business
platform.

Development towards becoming a DNE, however, doesn’t just lie on internal factors – it must
also consider how they are affected by external factors that occur in the industry. As such, it is
vital that the trends for the Philippines’ ICT industry should still be monitored to best position
your company this year and beyond.

In this infographic, we lay down 10 trends that you should anticipate this 2019.
