Five converging
forces that
are driving
technological
evolution
With the increased amount of data
exchanges, enterprises must have a
strong focus on making their systems
as secure as possible. Sanjiv Gossain,
Cognizant’s Head of Digital Business,
Europe, discusses the driving forces
behind the construction of a new
technological future and informs business
leaders about how to remain competitive.
T
oday’s digital age is delivering unparalleled technological
innovations in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet
of Things (IoT) are combining to make devices and enterprises
intelligent, responsive and ever more connected. This is paving the way
for organisations to turn insights into foresight and for leaders to make
decisions in a more informed, accurate and timely manner.
Transformative technologies such as 5G networks, interconnected
IoT devices, ad-hoc and decentralised networks, and collaborative
autonomous systems are opening up new means of communication
with large data exchanges. It is therefore crucial for enterprises
to make their systems more secure than ever – not only to guard
against threats but also to remain competitive and compliant with
changing regulations.
Nevertheless, five converging forces are driving the evolution and
construction of a new technological future and can help companies
stay ahead of the game.
1. The drive to create AI-powered intelligent systems
From robotics to vehicles to application development, the world as we
know it is becoming largely autonomous. This is enabling enterprises to
streamline business processes, transform customer experiences, reduce
costs and drive remarkable growth and profitability. This has been
augmented by companies’ aggressive efforts to modernise IT systems,
applications and processes to make them scalable and more agile.
