Technology in 2021: Predictions and Advice
Recently, Forbes published an article on the “5 biggest technology trends of 2021.” Starting with Cloud solutions it addressed the importance of breaking down the barriers of the traditional “one cloud solution” approach.
“One-Stop-Shop” Cloud Solution evolves into Bridged Cloud Solutions in 2021
Trends are pointing to additional cloud growth, but not the traditional "all-in-one" solution we are all familiar with. Previous hybrid I.T. solutions were complete with a data center and one cloud approach. Amazon’s AWS, Micosoft’s Azure, Google, and IBM are now involved in “multi-cloud” solutions, working with platforms that they still see as a competitor. It is important to work with an experienced managed service partner to help navigate the best cloud solutions for your business. We are heading into a world of deeper collaboration between cloud platforms, creating a need for deep knowledge across all cloud offerings.
Mastering application capabilities and flow across all cloud platforms will enhance operations with efficiency and productivity. Working with a dedicated team of managed technology solution providers will be key to deploy effective solutions in a timely manner to compete in 2021.
Don’t get stuck in a one-stop-shop solution
Have a partner who is experienced on all cloud platforms
Strategize efficiency and peak operations to discuss options with a managed services partner
AI Technology that is not going to break the bank
With several patented AI logic strategies being developed, and massive companies like Facebook and Google buying up AI companies. AI is predicted to be a major player in 2021. We see the importance of mastering these complex AI logic capabilities to discern the effectiveness, privacy concerns, and systematic risk for your business. While 2021 will more than likely be a large jump for AI to take over some human responsibilities, it’s logic is not sophisticated enough (yet) to encompass human responsibilities as a whole.
Keep ethical AI in mind when developing concepts
Work with a professional to discern roll out and capabilities
Partner with a managed services partner to monitor
Hybrid On-premise & cloud solutions continue to increase
Why not have your cake and eat it too!?! Hybrid or multi-cloud environments, where individual elements of service providers' are selected to offer solutions that suit their specific needs have grown in popularity.
We are going to see the major players Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and IBM realize they need to play together to stay in the game. Integrations will be built and platforms will evolve from partnerships that enable users to deploy tools and technologies on-prem and multiple cloud platforms.
Don’t look at your company as a whole for one cloud/on-prem solution. Break down each major player in your business and access it’s workflow structure and possible enhancements.
Take time to work through key solution factors and work through them with a partner to decide which platform(s) works the best for each solution.
Don’t be afraid to migrate from an existing cloud or on-prem solution to another. Discuss with a trusted partner about risks and possibilities.
Key Takeaway: Don’t try to go it alone.
