Technology Adoption Roadmap for Midsize Enterprises 2022-2024
- Gartner Report Technology Adoption Roadmap for Midsize Enterprises 2022-2024More than 400 MSE's interviewed (gartner.com)
- 53 technologies were mapped to adoption stage (pilot, deployed 2022, deploy in 2023), value and risk
- Value was determined by looking at the following factors
- Increasing cost efficiency
- Improving speed and agility
- Enabling resilience
- Enhancing employee productivity
- Deployment risk
- Cybersecurity risks
- Implementation cost
- Talent availability
- Vendor supply chain disruption
- Geopolitical risks
Key Takeaways
- Cybersecurity
- Investments prioritized in (M)anaged (D)etection and (R)response - this to deal with the growing threat of digital risks including things like ransomware
- (S)ecure (A)ccess (S)ervice (E)dge is gaining traction for moving away from hardware based security solutions to cloud based security services
- (Z)ero (T)rust (N)etwork (A)ccess is being evaluated to replace VPNs
- Future work environments
- Investments are being made in hybrid and remote work environments over collaboration and productivity tools
- Deployment of cloud security tools being prioritized to enable more security hybrid and remote work environments
- DIstributed cloud systems and cloud storage are also being prioritized
- (C)itizen (A)utomation and (D)evelopment (P)latforms are also being investigated to allow business users to leverage low-code services to help speed business decisions
- NLP - Natural Language Processing appears to be something that businesses want to adopt but are falling behind on plans to deploy due to some challenges
- Accuracy in language translation
- Even though NLP has come a LONG way in the past couple years, the human language is still a very challenging problem to solve
- Investments are being made in hybrid and remote work environments over collaboration and productivity tools
- Productivity and Operation Efficiency
- Experimenting with Enhanced Internet (cdsglobalcloud.com)
- Investing in AI and Data Science and Machine Learning to help observe infrastructure across on-prem, cloud and edge computing
- Comes with high deployment risks but still very highly adopted
- Investments in 5g for larger demand of networking
- Investments in API management PaaS
- One of the problems here is talent shortages in this area of expertise (azure.microsoft.com)
