Here are some of the trends that will affect enterprise technology in 2020.
Privacy and Security
Privacy and security are at the top of the stack this year for all businesses, not just enterprise organizations. As cyber-attacks become more prevalent and more data is stored in the cloud, the need for watertight security is paramount. Investing in better security solutions at the beginning will reduce headaches in the long term. It will also instill confidence in clients, who know their information is safe.
Secure Backups
Keeping records and backing up data is an important part of running any business, and not just for tax reasons. Being able to access old iterations of new technology and data can give businesses valuable information for improving business tactics and bottom lines. Securely backing up this data is even more important, especially if it contains client information.
Scalable Solutions
Investing in scalable technological solutions is worth the money in the long run. Although it may seem like an unnecessary expense for a startup or a burgeoning business, over time the investment will pay out. Instead of having to create or purchase a new infrastructure once the business needs pass the workable threshold of a cheaper technology, it’s simply a question of scaling a more expensive technology to keep up with increasing revenues and client databases.
Investing in Disaster Recovery
No one wants to imagine a disaster and what that could do to a business. However, having a disaster recovery plan – including the technology that will safely store data and allow the business to run even without on-site electricity, for example – can save millions of dollars and days of downtime.
Thoughtful AI Integration
Called the tech clash, many companies have digitized their offerings without considering how that would affect both their employees and their customer base. Although many businesses have gone fully digital, they’re still struggling to create a customer service solution that keeps their customers happy. It has to do with matching the values of their customers. Many businesses don’t realize that the broader opportunity is to make humans more effective, not eliminate their jobs.
