Top 10 Tech Predictions For 2017 From IDC

https://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2016/11/01/top-10-tech-predictions-for-2017-from-idc/2/#21

IDC released today its 10 IT industry predictions for 2017 in a webcast with Frank Gens, IDC’s senior vice president and chief

analyst.

Last year, IDC predicted that 3rd platform technologies and services—cloud, big data/analytics, social, and mobile—will drive 60% (not 75%) of OIT sepnding by 2019. The increase is due to a “snowball effect,” as these technologies are no longer “emerging” but have become the default choice

The cloud will be distributed with 60% of IT done off-premise and 85% by multi-cloud by 2018 and 43% of IoT will be processed at the edge in 2019; the cloud will be trusted and by 2020 it will be where trusted and secured IT lives, enhanced by blockchain-based security; the cloud will be concentrated and by 2020, the top 5 cloud Iaas/PaaS players will control at least 75% of the market share (vs about 50% in 2016)

By 2020, almost 60% of enterprises will actively participate in compliance Clouds. By 2020, 75% of F500 companies will be suppliers of digital services through Industry Collaborative Clouds. 90%+ of Industry Collaborative Clouds will partner with a Cloud mega-platform provider.

In 2018, the monthly active user base of consumers using mobile augmented reality apps (e.g., Pokemon Go) will exceed 400 million. By 2020, over 20% of commercial media on Facebook will be 360-degree VR, as social goes “immersive.” Dark horse scenario: 20% of all social media is 360-degree by 2020. In 2019, companies will deploy earworn wearables, with AI-enabled voice interface, as digital assistants for customer-facing roles (in retail, for example).

Applications of Technology

BaaS Benefits of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Maintenance on Cloud● Seamless blockchain provisioning

experience● Elastic scalability● Global availability● Interoperability with other PaaS

services ● Sophisticated DevOps experience● Simpler programming models● Stringent security measures● Universal access to all who are part

of the transaction processing only● Cost effective solutions● Effective disaster recovery

Pioneered by IBM and Microsoft.

The Blockchain as a Service model (BaaS) is still an experimental cloud service model, but it represents a changing perception in the mainstream adoption of Blockchain technologies.

While Blockchain technology is most closely associated with cryptocurrencies, the potential uses of the decentralized and distributed ledger software, which can store complete transaction histories, are much wider

IBM and Samsung have been working on a concept known as ADEPT, which uses blockchain-type technology to form the backbone of a decentralized network of IoT devices. With ADEPT, which stands for Autonomous Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Telemetry, a blockchain would serve as a public ledger for a massive amount of devices, which would no longer need a central hub to mediate communication between them, according to CoinDesk. Without a central control system to identify one another, the devices would be able to communicate with one another autonomously to manage software updates, bugs, or energy management (image credit: IBM).

Others are also looking to build blockchain technology into an IoT platform. For example, Filament, a company that builds a decentralized network using the blockchain (among other things) for sensors to communicate with each other, raised a $5M Series A, with both Verizon Ventures’ and Samsung Ventures’ participation

Healthcare institutions suffer from an inability to securely share data across platforms.

Better data collaboration between providers means higher probability of accurate diagnoses, higher likelihood of effective treatments, and the overall increased ability of healthcare systems to deliver cost-effective care. Blockchains can allow hospitals, payers, and other parties in the healthcare value-chain to share access to their networks without compromising data security and integrity.

The startup Gem (pictured above) launched the Gem Health Network— which offers an Ethereum blockchain-enabled platform with multi-signature and multi-factor authentication tech — to create a secure universal data infrastructure. Tierion is another blockchain startup that has built a platform for data storage and verification in healthcare.

Gem and Tierion have both recently partnered with Philips Healthcare in the Philips Blockchain Lab.

One of the most universally applicable aspects of blockchain technology is that it enables more secure and transparent monitoring of transactions.

Supply chains are basically a series of transaction nodes that link to move products from point A to the point-of-sale or final deployment. With blockchain, as products change hands across a supply chain from manufacture to sale, the transactions can be documented in a permanent decentralized record — reducing time delays, added costs, and human errors.

Several blockchain startups are jumping into this sector: Provenance (pictured above) is building a traceability system for materials and products, Fluent ( now known as Hijro ) offers an alternative platform for lending into global supply chains, and Skuchain builds blockchain-based products for the business-to-business trade and supply-chain finance market.

The distribution of aid and welfare is one area where blockchain can help streamline and secure public governance.

The company GovCoin Systems Limited is a London-headquartered financial technology company supporting the UK government in the distribution of benefits

Currently, trust in the retail system is mainly linked to trust in the marketplace where that purchase is being made, one element of Amazon’s place as most users’ first stop when shopping online.

Startups like OpenBazaar are developing decentralized blockchain utilities designed to connect buyers and sellers without a middleman and the associated fees (sorry Amazon).

In these cases, trust in the system would come from the security of blockchain exchanges and a smart contract system. OB1 has raised $4M in two rounds and boasts Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures among its investors

There are two notable use cases for blockchain in law enforcement: evidence management/tracking and flagging suspicious transaction patterns.

In police investigations, maintaining the integrity of the chain of evidence is paramount, so a distributed, hard-to-falsify record kept via blockchain could provide an added layer of security to the evidence-handling process.

Startup Chronicled has raised almost $5M in funding to develop sealable, tamper-proof containers with near field communications chips that register the contents through a blockchain system, which could have law enforcement applications. Additionally, Elliptic, another startup with just over $7M in funding, is developing a system to continually scan bitcoin registries and flag suspicious transactions/ histories and alert law enforcement officers so that they can begin investigations

The strategy states, "The internet, cloud computing, large data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain … will drive the evolution of everything - digital, network and intelligent services will be everywhere."

In a country with $5.5 trillion in digital payments last year (50 times the U.S.), blockchain is now a buzzword among the titans of industry. And in the race to participate, Chinese banks, builders, suppliers and retailers are pumping out blockchain solutions.

The big question for China, however, is whether a country known for its centralized authority, and a penchant for all things made-in-China, will allow an open-source, global standard solution sit on its internet. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and Hyperledger vying for dominance, there are big names within China making moves into the space.
