Disruptive Technologies in Commodity Trading Markets
A ComTechAdvisory Report
Other Disruptive Technologies
Other disruptive technologies have to some extent
been commented on previously, including augment-
ed/virtual reality for data visualization, quantum com-
puting for faster processing, use of drones to capture
imagery and so on. Once in production, solutions
based on what are currently viewed as disruptive
technologies will likely utilize a combination of sever-
al of these new technologies…such as ML and AI for
management and analyzing big data resources and
visualization devices to better make sense of the re-
sults.
Finally, looking at how companies may better inte-
grate these technologies into their infrastructures,
the survey asked if the respondent’s firms were avail-
ing themselves of new development methodologies
and approaches in an attempt to speed up delivery,
reduce risk and adopt new technologies. Around
80% of all respondents are using agile development
approaches and almost 60% have adopted contin-
uous improvement techniques. However, only 30%
said they were using multi-disciplinary teams (Figure
8).
