With the metaverse, cryptocurrency, and NFTs taking headlines every week, it seems like we’ve entered an alternate reality.
The past 2 years have enabled a world of possibilities we might have not expected. And these changes are disrupting technologies used by businesses for the better.
Remote and hybrid work are shifting the way work is done, even for organizations still holding onto traditional structures. After 2 years of these changes, it’s time for businesses to take advantage of technological disruption.
It’s time for businesses to take advantage of technological disruption.
From Gartner to McKinsey, we’ve scoured and summarized 3 key trends for technology in 2022—and how business leaders should respond.
Trend 1: (Hyper) Automation
If you could automate as many processes as possible within your business without sacrificing integrity, why wouldn’t you?
With automation, businesses can focus on complex and higher level work while machines and systems take care of the routine work. Low code tools, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are just a few of many ways organizations are automating on a larger scale.
From the low code tool Power Automate to AI embedded into security solutions, Microsoft has just about everything you’d need for automation.
Trend 2: Cloud Native Platforms
By optimizing cloud computing mechanisms, cloud native platforms allow you to create flexible and agile workloads.
What are the benefits of cloud native for businesses? IT and business leaders can create scalable and dynamic structures that allow them to thrive through times of rapid change. This has only been punctuated by the pandemic.
Microsoft Azure DevOps is a perfect example of a cloud native tool to leverage. What makes it so great is that it takes care of infrastructure management so you don’t have to worry about scaling and app performance.
Trend 3: Quantum Computing
While quantum computing is in its early stages and use cases are limited, it demonstrates great potential for helping businesses solve complex problems outside of the reach of conventional computers.
Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are among the companies at the forefront of commercial cloud computing solutions. Azure Quantum (in public preview) and the Azure Quantum Network are Microsoft’s 2 most recent ventures for users to develop quantum solutions.
The Point
While your organization might not be entering the metaverse or using augmented reality tools, there are key technological shifts to pay attention to. Automation is one of the simplest ways to increase productivity and scale your organization.
If you’re ready to take your tools even further, cloud native platforms and quantum computing can provide agile and intelligent ways to approach complex challenges. From low code to automation, Point Alliance can match your organization with the perfect Microsoft tools.
