Emerging Trends in Information Technology
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.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence holds tremendous potential for businesses. While we have yet to achieve the full spectrum of capabilities we see in the movies, 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,
improve customer satisfaction, optimize communications and
provide insight into purchasing behavior.
Machine learning can analyze large data sets and provide
scaled insight. We are 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). Current applications provide huge
growth potential for solution providers who can fully understand
the capabilities of AI and tailor solutions to meet business
demands. Businesses can also employ AI to
identify new product and service opportunities.
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. Which IT-industry trend will make the most impact on your business?
Quantum Computing
Quantum Computing offers unique opportunities for predictive analysis that extend beyond the capacity of conventional computing. Advances in quantum computers and quantum cryptography have been in the experimental stage for years, but 2020 will see the technology begin to be commercialized for businesses.
Using quantum computation, mathematically complex tasks that are at present typically handled by supercomputers -- protein folding, for example -- can theoretically be performed by quantum computers at a lower energy cost than transistor-based supercomputers.
While current quantum machines are essentially proof-of-concept devices, the algorithms which would be used on production-ready machines are being tested presently, to ensure that the results are predictable and reproducible. At the current stage of development, a given problem can be solved by both quantum and traditional (binary) computers.
As manufacturing processes used to build quantum computers
is refined, it is anticipated that they will become faster at
computational tasks than traditional, binary computers.

Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation - New Trends for 2024
There’s only one Constant in Business – CHANGE. And that change has been accelerating in recent years. Businesses have had to adjust to new ways of doing things, most of them related to the digital transformation that business, and the world, has experienced in recent years.
From Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), new Digital Technologies have a major impact on business – and that impact will only grow in 2023.

Digital Transformation is the use of new, fast and frequently changing Digital Technology to solve problems. One of the examples of Digital Transformation is Cloud Computing. It reduces reliance on user owned hardware and increases reliance on subscription based
Cloud Services.
