Compliance and Security: The Real Drivers of Cloud, IoT, and AI Outsourcing
and Performance
In 2018, the shifting emphasis to IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), virtual
reality (VR) and automation seem to overshadow cloud; yet, I believe it is
just the opposite. A recently published industry survey shows that by 2020,
the use of public cloud will grow dramatically. Business goals related to
actively adopting AI, IoT and machine learning strategies are prompting IT
teams to consider outsourced cloud and cloud experts to move faster than
competitors. The formats and pilots incorporating these technologies can be
seen across multiple markets and segments including government, retail, and
industrial bases. The use of AI, VR, and IoT is also driving the
technology, compliance and cybersecurity markets necessary to support these
innnovations. For example, nowadays the... (more)
In the digital era, software powers everything a firm does. It runs your
operations, organizes your workforce, does your data analysis, supports your
marketing activity and much more.
Software is everywhere in the modern business, and you need to develop,
update and deploy it fast.
A vital enabler of rapid software delivery is DevOps - the merging of
application development and IT operations. It speeds up the creation and
launch of new products, features and customer experiences, and ensures that
they're as effective as possible. In the digital economy, DevOps underpins
the flexibility you need to give customers what they want, when they want it.
Initial Adoption of DevOps in Full Swing
New global research conducted by Freeform Dynamics looks at how companies are
updating their software delivery processes to embrace critical practices like
