Digital Business Trends
The Future is Now
Digital Business Trends for the New Age
Challenges and Opportunities
In recent years, regular and emerging digital trends have created a buzz the world
over. The seeds for these developments were sown almost a decade ago with the
advent of digital start-ups. Today, governments, businesses and industry are
making a determined and singular effort to adopt, understand and promote
significant digital competencies. It is their fervent hope that the move will enable
them to reap quantifiable and better results among other benefits.
For several years, a select group of international giants worked hard to acquire in
depth insights into social media, mobile and cloud computing. But it is only of late
that they have begun to gain a hold over various digital domains, channels and
platforms. Though the plethora of exciting initiatives to digitize is a welcome move,
in many ways, we have only just scratched the surface of the vast reserves of the
all-encompassing digital goldmine that is waiting to be explored and utilized by the
best in the business.
To realize the importance companies attach to the concept of digitization, we need
to look no further than the involvement of the cream of company hierarchy right from
CEOs, CIOs and other C-level executives.
What are the prevalent types of digital disruptions?
Will future disruptors be dissimilar or remain the same?
How will digitization impact my business and industry?
Are there concrete steps I can take to stay ahead of the curve?
Before we progress any further it is important to pose a few crucial questions which
will lead to a better understanding of the digital space:
Look beyond the Normal
It is quite evident when we assess current trends that understanding the core digital
innovations that have the potential to be disruptive as against those that cannot, will
mean whether we perform or perish. If businesses want to ride the wave of success
they must develop a keen digital foresight. This can be achieved by analyzing major
trends and planning well in advance for the impact a digital "disruptor" is likely to
produce.
For example: Anything from Facebook to 3D printing, and self-driving cars can all be
classified as important digital disruptors. Disruption of the existing business methods
will however happen only when the time arrives for the dual forces of the digital and
physical domains to coalesce. Until then, however, the real focus should be on
gaining insights into true disruptors and imitators. It most certainly will pay to keep
your eye on the ball.
Predict to Perform
It is not easy to guess which horse will perform on a given day; and then back it in
the belief that it will win. But if you had followed the training schedule of the animal
and had watched it perform on the race track, you’d pretty much know its
capabilities. This is almost exactly the same when it comes to predicting the surprise
digital innovations that are waiting in the wings. Seizing the right opportunity at the
correct moment is undeniably vital.
If you are well-equipped with competent strategies that can be implemented at
short notice when opportunity comes knocking on your door, you can pat yourself
on the back as things fall into place. Your prospects in the digiscape will be
enhanced manifold the earlier you develop skills aligned towards digitally focused
mega-trend analysis, strategy analysis, scenario planning and a comprehensive
strategic planning process.
Overall Strategic Technology
Your labor force, the processes you follow and also the existing systems you’ve got
in place—together play a crucial role in the adoption of and response to the latest
portfolio of digital strategies. So, along with a transformative and path breaking set
of plans you must ensure that your digital business addresses and modifies existing
underlying functions and organizations for the best outcomes.
To truly tap into the capabilities of digital your company must be prepared to usher
in a slew of emphatic changes throughout the enterprise. But trust us, when you
rake in the benefits of these measures you will realize that it was time and money
well spent.
Gartner research on enterprise IT Industry trends
Compilation of crucial findings:
Newer models of tracking and interacting with users will emerge from the
steady and prolific use of sensors for computing.
The realm of 3D printing should be monitored closely as it is beginning to
capture popular imagination across the globe.
Advanced Analytics will come into major focus; so in order to keep in touch
with the times, Information Technology must delve into data reservoirs
to connect multiple repositories and draw significant anomalies.
The Internet of Things will hold sway in future, so newer methods should
be developed to capitalize on these future growth prospects.
The popularity of the twin domains of Cloud and Client Computing will continue
to hold sway. At the same time, Public cloud will continue its dominance.
Machine learning, known notably as artificial intelligence, will enable
enterprises to understand big data.
The disruptive digital business environment is forecasted to touch a whopping $1.9
trillion in value by 2020. So IT leaders must strategize adequately to meet the
opportunities and demands. So which technologies are companies investing in this
year? IT and business leaders are of the firm opinion that investments in 2015 should
be made in three important areas.
Gartner has made a ground-breaking analysis which states that by 2018, digital
enterprises will need 50% less business process workers and 500% more key digital
business jobs.
Cybersecurity - 69%
Private cloud - 61%
Data mining and analysis - 54%

Conclusion
It is early days yet in our efforts at being able to fully understand and utilize digital
trends to the hilt; but the journey has started in right earnest nonetheless. With
digital as their steadfast ally, enterprises across the board must reimagine the way
they do business. Whoever keeps his ears to the ground and identifies subtle shifts
in the digital macrocosm, will succeed beyond all imagining.
