The demand for digital technologies is on the rise and more innovations are being anticipated in the near future. In 2018, the disruption is expected to create more differentiated architectures and hence more gaps & integration issues. Application leaders will be under an impending need to adapt new technologies and simultaneously maintaining their B2B connection framework. The IT needs must be closely evaluated and composite solutions need to be prepared as we enter 2018. To deal with disruptive forces businesses should have the following IT capabilities for managing technologies and data:
Agility: The technology landscape has become perpetually unstable. To keep up with the changes, businesses should have access to agility to identify redundant systems and find their replacements faster. In the good old days, the data was generated by only employees and processed by processors. With the advent of machine learning and cloud based technologies the data is being generated by customers, machines, smart monitors, etc. This colossal increase of data can overwhelm processors and the solution is microprocessors.
There are hidden opportunities in the data which can be used to target customers and improve business outcomes. With B2B data connectivity solutions the data sets can be parsed and pushed easily into Big Data Machines. From a unified interface the sumtotal of new and old technologies can be integrated and the data inside them can be piped across far flung corners.
Data Quality: Data is not a secondary asset anymore. It is now a corporate asset. And organizations should find ways to improve data quality for comprehending the business factors. Data quality needs to be ensured through data governance and life cycle management. The path to improve data connectivity is improving B2B data connectivity at every layer.
Cyber Security: GDPR is looming and cyber security has to be the agenda of application leaders in 2018. Threat actors have devised new and fine ways to breach digital technologies with weak endpoints. IoT and mobility are some of the end points. A layered cyber security plan must be in place to strengthen enterprise IT systems. A resiliency plan should be prepared to improve breach response and prevent b2b connections from malware.
Combining Cloud and Onpremise Applications: SaaS based applications have ended the hegemony of legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Organizations are haphazardly adapting cloud based systems without having a platform for integrating their data with legacy systems. The need is to integrate b2b data connectivity and technologies into a single unit for greater interoperabiliity.
