We live in a very dynamic age with a huge increase in technology adoption and acceleration over the last few years. The ongoing digital transformation has led to technology getting embedded deeper and deeper into all businesses. Digital transformation is pushing enterprises to be more distributed and expand to the edge. There is exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and related data at the edge.

In a nutshell

• The growth of technology is driving the adoption of cloud-based services and the proliferation of mobile endpoints, changing the enterprise security landscape.

• The next decade is expected to see an increase in automation using AI, RPA, and digital twins for process visualisation.

• Applied AI will bring AI into the real world and enable computers to execute real-world tasks.

• Networks will be at the heart of digital businesses, with 5G and 6G serving as an important fabric for the enterprise along with Secure Access Service Edge.

• Organisations will leverage the ecosystem clouds by participating and contributing to shared business processes like procurement, distribution, and payment.

• The rise of super apps is also expected to be a significant trend in the future.
