6. • Cloud native or cloud first for new applications
• Scalability and elasticity
• Hybrid: on-premises systems and public and private clouds
• Cloud increases focus on business process from tech details
Tech Trend:
Hybrid Cloud

7. Hybrid Cloud
Strategies
• Ensure seamless data flow
to/from cloud, and among clouds
• Maximize choice for workload
optimization and interoperability
• Design once, deploy anywhere –
on premise and in the cloud
• Optimize cloud infrastructure for
cost and efficiency
• Minimize disruption and risk
• Build new skills to handle
different and emerging portfolios
Challenges
• Managing multiple clouds and
vendors
• Integrating data and applications
on-premise to cloud, across clouds
• Avoiding cloud lock-in
• Lack of skills to handle hybrid
multi-cloud world

8. • Data and devices are exploding
• IoT offers a granular, gigapixel view, huge amounts of data
• IoT is largely driving real-time applications
• In early stages of how to make use of this detailed worldview
Tech Trend:
Internet of Things (IoT)

9. Internet of
Things
Strategies
• Ensure accurate data for trusted
insights
• Analyze data quickly for
immediate insights
• Gain insight from gigapixel view
with AI and ML
• Create autonomous systems that
enable an automatic response
• Complement blockchain
Challenges
• IoT data is a tradeoff between
speed and accuracy
• Integrating data at rest and data
in motion
• Enriching IoT data with data from
legacy and traditional systems
• Deciding between real-time, near
real-time, and edge computing

10. • Predictive analytics and machine learning
• Pipeline relies heavily on the amount and validity of data
• Exponential multiplier effect of data for insight and machine
learning
• Choosing how to consume and use AI: buy or build?
Tech Trend:
Artificial Intelligence (AI)

11. Artificial
Intelligence
Strategies
• Be as predictive as possible where
it has high business value
• Leverage all valuable data and
block out the noise
• Train models on high-quality data
• Simplify and automate common
patterns for data engineers
• Develop human-assisted AI
Challenges
• Data quality and bias – garbage in,
garbage out
• Ensure data is debugged
• Find the right AI tool for the data
• Limited pool of talent

12. • Create trust and transparency: visibility and traceability for
transactions
• Increase efficiency and speed
• Validate authenticity of products and components
• Distributed across business networks, eliminating the
middleman
• Investments growing, very early adoption stage
Tech Trend:
Blockchain

13. Blockchain
Strategies Challenges
• GDPR and other regulations on
PII data
• How to populate and exchange
data on/off Blockchain
• Performance, scalability and
interoperability
• Data governance: Many platforms
with multiple frameworks
• Security, identity and key
management
• Lack of available skills
• Learn from past disruptions –
identify business use case
• Learn by doing -- look for pilot
opportunities
• Be prepared – especially partners
of early adopters
• Easier to show ROI for new use
cases

14. • Data is the center of gravity for every company
• Know what data you have, who owns and uses it
• Compliance with regulations and standards
• Big data is maturing – from early adopter to early majority
• Data governance is more complex and critical than ever
Tech Trend:
Data Governance

15. Data
Governance
Strategies Challenges
• More consumers, users, silos
• Permissions and data access for
the right people at the right time
• Properly preparing data, focused
on duplication, versioning
• Managing the data, with data
lineage, provenance
• Complying with regulations such
as GDPR
• Future-proof software,
applications and tools
• Build foundation for digital
transformation
• Extend incumbent technologies
with new technologies
• Deliver clean data – valid,
accurate and fit for purpose
