T ODAY AND BE YONDTECHNOLOGY STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS

The move to digital business platforms is forcing IT organizations to rethink their data center strategies. New workload requirements are impacting the way in which companies adapt their data center infrastructures for the future.

Organizations are also evaluating their external sourcing of project management services, and are choosing either to increase staff or outsource these services to project or program management as a service (PPMaaS) providers.

Additionally, companies across diverse verticals are actively exploring artificial intelligence techniques to improve a wide range of workflows. Machine learning and deep learning are becoming more accessible and a core part of digital business strategies.

According to Gartner, “By 2023, 40% of DevOps teams will augment application and intrastructure monitoring tools with AIOps platform capabilities.”*

According to Gartner, “In 2023, large enterprise exclusive use of artificial intelligence for IT operations and digital experience monitoring tools to monitor modern applications and infrastructure will rise from 5% in 2018 to 30%.”*

By 2023, 75% of all IT spending will be on 3rd Platform technologies, as over 90% of all enterprises build “digital native” IT environments to thrive in the digital economy.**
