“Make no mistake: Technology is not just an enabling function. Tech is the universal language of business today (…) Technology Trends has evolved from a CIO and CTO concern into something driving CEO, management team, boardroom agendas — to redefine what enterprises can accomplish.”

— Bill Briggs, global technology director of Deloitte Consulting LLP..

AI-fueled Organizations. Leading companies already implement technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, RPA, and cognitive technologies, not only in all internal processes but also in products and services.
NoOps in a serverless world. Thanks to cloud computing, companies work with reduced technical resources and management tasks increasingly automated. Thus, IT talent can focus on activities that directly support business results.
Connectivity of tomorrow. Mesh networks, 5G technologies, and cutting-edge computing are expanding the reach of businesses to the farthest corners of the world.
Intelligent Interfaces. Artificial vision, conversational voice, auditory analytics, augmented reality and virtual reality, begin to transform the way we relate to machines, data and each other.
Beyond marketing. Enabled by a new generation of marketing tools and techniques, marketing managers can now offer highly personalized and contextualized experiences.
DevSecOps and the cyber imperative. Cybersecurity, privacy and risk management, which are usually carried out at the end of the development life cycle, are now considered essential throughout the product journey.
