We've got your Magic 4 Ball
If there’s one thing the past two years have shown us, it’s that future-proofing your plans isn’t as easy as it looks. We live in a time of rapid change. And so do your customers.
We can’t advise you about taking that cruise, who will win the Super Bowl, or what color to paint your office*. But, as 2022 takes the floor, we’re keeping an eye on the trends that are most likely to impact your digital transformation. Here’s what we’re looking out for:
- Technology: The trend toward industry-specific vertical clouds that deliver platforms and infrastructure as a service designed around regulatory and security requirements.
- Data: Comprehensive customer data strategies that take integrity, governance, infrastructure, BI, and analytics into account.
- Digital: More cross-functional ownership of digital transformations, and a resulting increase in solutions that integrate data, technology, and new ways of working.
- Marketing: The ripple effect from third-party cookie deprecation inspires exciting innovation in first-party-data-driven tactics, proving that privacy and impact aren’t mutually exclusive.
We can’t predict the future, but we can stay ready for it.
*Oh, and we vote “later,” “Bengals,” and “blue” for those first questions. Thank us later.
