- The IT world never stands still. This rapid, ever-changing industry is full of
new technologies, tools, software frameworks and innovative ideas. In this
article, we will look at the top information technology trends that are likely to
define the year 2022.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
• - Though most people still associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies only, the
technology has been successfully incorporated into many other fields that require
decentralized data storage and transparency of transactions. For example, blockchain
is currently used for supply chain management, making falsifications practically
impossible at all its stages (financial transactions, warehousing, inventory records,
delivery schedule, etc.). The security of medical data management is also enhanced
using blockchain technology.
• Specialists from various industries are actively exploring the potential of blockchain.
So, this year and beyond, we are likely to see new practical use cases, and the demand
for blockchain experts will increase.
5. CYBERSECURITY
• -The demand for edge computing devices is steadily growing due to the large
volumes of data that enterprises produce and need to analyze. The essence of edge
computing is that data processing nodes are situated closer to data sources and
consumers. Obviously, this is a quicker and more efficient way to gain valuable
insights than transferring raw data to centralized platforms.
• This decentralized model of data handling provides lower latency, which is critical
for real-time operations. Hence, edge computing technology will be more widely
introduced in logistics, smart manufacturing enterprises and healthcare
institutions. Moreover, edge computing will significantly contribute to
cybersecurity, because distributed nodes are less vulnerable to cyberattacks than a
single platform.
7. ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA)
• - The automation of processes has been a ubiquitous trend for practically all industries
and spheres over the past decade. Known as business process automation (BPA), it’s
based on software systems such as CRM and ERP. These are tailored to the specific
needs of enterprises, automating various repetitive tasks according to prescribed code.
BPA solutions need APIs to integrate with other systems. In 2022, we’ll see the
emergence of robotic process automation (RPA).
• In this type of automation, bots are trained to completely take over human tasks. They
don’t need APIs but run on top of systems using a screen-scraping method. Bots record
actions that humans perform in the interface (typing in data, moving a mouse) and then
mimic them, thus performing the same tasks. Leveraging AI and ML technologies, bots
can categorize unstructured information, interpret it and make decisions independently.
8. VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY
• - Initially, VR and AR technologies were used mostly in the gaming industry and entertainment. And
this market continues to grow. However, the applications of augmented and virtual reality are not
limited to games anymore.
• • Retailers utilize VR and AR tools to enhance customer experience during online shopping. With the
help of such tools, customers can configure products such as furniture to their liking and see whether
they match the interior of a room before making an order. In virtual reality, consumers can also try on
clothes to make sure that the size and style are right for them.
• • Engineers and designers across industries (automotive, construction, and more) create prototypes in
the digital environment and experiment with them to achieve the best result. This is much cheaper than
producing numerous physical prototypes that fail.
• • Healthcare specialists use VR and AR as training tools to train medical personnel. The technology
also assists with planning and performing of surgery thanks to the anatomical reconstruction of patient
bodies.
• Undoubtedly, VR and AR technologies have huge potential and we’ll see
more examples of their practical applications in the future.
