Together, we continuously monitor emerging IT trends and explore new technologies that may be of interest to our clients. In order to provide all Conclusion ecosystem partners with an insight into these trends, concepts, and technologies, we have developed the Emerging Technologies Radar. This is a practical tool for both ourselves and the market, and it helps to spark a conversation about where an organization wants to go in terms of innovation.
The biannual Emerging Technologies Trend Report presents six trends that we feel have potential, that we are currently exploring, that are in the early stages of practical application, or that are already part of our standard portfolio. We highlight the following technologies IT for OT, medical intelligence, data mesh, the Metaverse, digital twins, and conversational AI.
There are various reasons for focusing on these six particular technologies: in some cases we’re already seeing that a particular technology is delivering great value to our customers, and we have noticed that other companies are not yet embracing it in the same way. Or we have our eye on an emerging technology that we’re excited about and feel has great potential, and we’re looking for customers who want to explore this technology with us.
The technologies are grouped into the following three categories:
- Business Enablers: technologies and technology trends that have an impact on processes, methods, or functions in an organization, or even open up avenues for new processes, products, and services. Basically anything you can think of that might fall under the umbrella of ‘digital transformation’. The bottom line is that you can use these technologies to develop entirely new business models or to organize existing processes in a completely different way, making them much more efficient.
- Interfaces & Experiences: all technologies and technology trends that are fundamentally changing the way we interact with each other and engage with digital systems in the digital world.
- Productivity Revolution: any technology that enables organizations and individuals to process larger volumes faster and more accurately. This often includes being able to identify, analyse, and solve problems more quickly. This category comprises a relatively large number of technologies that we have already deployed for many of our customers and that are about to drop out of the Radar as they transition from ‘emerging’ to ‘established’ technologies.
In the Emerging Technologies Trend Report, CTO Lucas Jellema dives deeper into these overarching themes.
