In 2022, there are 4 outstanding technological trends that will be taken into consideration and that are the challenges that organizations will face in the immediate and medium term. The planned budget for emerging technologies is responsive to investments in cloud and productivity software.

In this article we will develop 4 trends that will stand out in the IT industry in 2022 and in the years to come:

Trend 1. Remote work.

Increase your investment and stay on course, this type of work has led organizations to buy laptops instead of betting on hardware at work, that is, in the office and in turn the expenses for updating servers are found betting on the cloud.

At least 25% of organizations' employees are working remotely, although they are most likely to return to corporate offices, this would undoubtedly imply that IT investments in hardware, software and services return to the industry, this is necessary to drive the continuous work-from-home movement.

An increase in productivity software is estimated, due to its usefulness to connect and help employees to perform their functions from anywhere, being one of the largest software investment categories in 2022, and which represents 12% of the budgets in these last two years.

According to a report from the consulting house Gartner, the rise of hybrid and remote work patterns suggests that CIOs make major technical and service changes that can bring you frictionless work experiences from companies focused on office evolving towards distributed organizations composed of geographically dispersed workers.

By 2023, 75% of these organizations that fully exploit the benefits of this trend are expected to achieve revenue growth of up to 25% faster than their competitors.

Trend 2. The use of services hosted in the cloud is strengthening and also gaining momentum.

As organizations have migrated their applications and services from on-premises data centers, a significant increase in the use of cloud-hosted services is anticipated. Also, it is true that hardware will continue to represent an important part of IT operations by 2022.

Making it clear that this category has seen steady declines year-over-year, with a 3% decline forecast for 2022.

Furthermore, Gartner predicts that cloud-native platforms will serve as the foundation for more than 95% of new digital initiatives by 2025 compared to less than 40% in 2021.

Now, to deliver digital capabilities everywhere, companies must move away from family migrations to cloud-native platforms that use core computing capabilities to provide scalable and elastic IT-related capabilities “as a service. ”Providing faster time-to-value and reduced costs.

Trend 3. Investment in Technological Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.

Companies expect a continuation of the challenges related to the pandemic in 2022, such as digital transformation, they are aware as never before of the importance of investing in technology, especially for new security solutions.

Updating outdated IT infrastructure is one of the highest priorities for some companies. Notably, spending on security software has grown significantly over the past two years, with the protection of computing end devices and remote users being the top concern given the continuing threat of ransomware.

Over the next two years, more than three-quarters of organizations are forecast to adopt anti-ransomware and employee training solutions that can help protect corporate networks, devices, and data.

On the other hand, together, hardware-based authentication, user behavior analysis tools and endpoint protection tools have been experiencing surprising impulses in planned adoption rates.

Trend 4. Emerging Technologies Green

Plans to promote emerging technologies (AI, IoT, 5G, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality, blockchain, among others) did not generate an increase in 2021, because only immediate needs that produced a rapid return on investment were prioritized. as is the empowerment of a remote workforce.

However, emerging technology adoption rates in 2022 are projected to be similar to pre-pandemic rates.

It is to be known that the general adoption plans are growing, certain industries are well above the curve of consolidated cutting edge technology.

The financial industry has economic incentives to experiment with emerging technologies, it should be noted that this industry is the most advanced in terms of technology.

For the blockchain, the expected adoption rates of emerging technology in financial services companies have adopted without any problem 5G technology or artificial intelligence (AI) in an upward way in the last two years.

According to the Gartner consulting house, one of the most visible and powerful AI techniques on the market is generative AI: which comprises machine learning methods on the content of objects through their data and which are used to generate realistic artifacts, entirely new and totally original.

Generative AI can be used for a wide variety of activities, such as setting software code, promoting drug development, and targeted marketing.

By 2025, Gartner estimates that generative AI will represent 10% of all data produced, up from less than 1% today.
