Leveraging the power of prediction in AIOps will be the key to success . Legacy IT systems are complex , decentralised and slow . To make matters worse , the exponential increase in complexity brought about by remote working has left IT departments grappling with outdated systems . The ability to manage complexity , however , ultimately requires technology that is capable of handling it , and AIOps does just that .
As we emerge from the worst of the pandemic , competition is fierce . Organisations that fail to leverage the power of prediction in AIOps will get left behind .

2022 will be a year of war over skills , talent and workplace culture . The massively competitive market for talent is not going to change and supply issues will continue .
Businesses talk about how they need to lower the dependency on unique technical skills and deploy them to the highest value tasks . This means engineers not managing things like data infrastructure , when they could be building the next great application for customers .

The continued rapidly changing face of the cyberthreat landscape coupled with a confusing , fast-moving cyberdefence vendor landscape forces even the largest companies to rethink their ability and appetite to maintain cyber operations in-house . While I expect to see organisations retain control of traditional , tried and true frontline defences such as enterprise antivirus and firewalls , most if not all technology and processes associated with maintaining a mature Security Operations Centre will start to move outside the organisation .
Organisations will see a benefit in a partner more able to maintain a modern security solution stack , assist in evaluating and adjusting defence posture on an ongoing basis and better allow organisations to focus time and effort on their core business .

The Anything-as-a-Service market will continue to grow . In 2022 , we ’ ll see an increasing number of high-tech companies shifting to the Anything-asa-Service model . During the pandemic , many businesses were forced to undergo drastic Digital Transformation at never-before-seen speed . Add to this the growing adoption of cloud-based monitoring and the demand for scalable storage services and it ’ s no wonder IDC predicted that by 2024 , 51 % of total software revenue will be from the SaaS delivery model .
In order to truly make the most of this emerging market , tech companies need to pivot from subscriber acquisition to subscriber retention . They will need to use subscriber data in order to glean business insights and improve the overall experience for subscribers . Ensuring the right blend of flexibility , convenience and customisation through subscription-based models has never been more important .
These are the areas that are likely to set SaaS companies apart and encourage that coveted brand loyalty long-term .

In 2022 and beyond , larger organisations with distributed data environments will implement a data mesh architecture to minimise data silos , avoid duplication of effort and ensure consistency . Data mesh will create a unified infrastructure enabling domains to create and share data products while enforcing standards for interoperability , quality , governance and security . It will drive more self-service data infrastructures and an increasing use of models using Data-as-a-Service .

Our reliance on API-based services is rising as they quickly become the foundations of most modern applications . This is only set to rise further in 2022 , as global use of the Internet , 5G and connected devices continues to boom – last year alone we saw a 57 % increase in online activity .
It ’ s therefore critical that enterprises make API security a priority this year . Organisations must ensure they have visibility of all application usage across their systems , with the ability
