According to IDC, by the end of next year, 80 percent of companies will adopt such technology to build cloud-certified infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This will also further establish managed cloud services in the market.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;78896&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Edge<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]In addition to the cloud, edge computing is also becoming a key issue. By 2023, IT edge-oriented companies will have to adapt their business model to the changing work behaviour. This includes, above all, the introduction of new solutions for the cloud as well as for networks, which will increase flexibility and make it possible to react more quickly to requirements.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Digital Workplaces<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]By 2023, every employee must be equipped with all the necessary hardware and software so that interaction in real time is possible permanently and regardless of location.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. IT-Heritage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]The pandemic is responsible for many hasty decisions. Numerous shortcomings and mistakes were made. These must be remedied in the coming years. According to IDC, these aspects can bring the company up to date with digitization through the right approach.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Resilience<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]In 2022, digital resilience is highly relevant. 50 percent of companies will react faster this year than those that remain on current technologies.

For this, a corresponding infrastructure must be built.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>7. AI<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]25 percent of G2000 companies have the goal of making their products and services smarter.

Business Relations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]In order to fully implement the digitisation strategies across the value chain, companies are re-evaluating their suppliers and partners. Accordingly, only relationships that can be integrated into the company&#8217;s IT ecosystem are maintained.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>9. Sustainability<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]According to IDC, by 2025, 90 percent of companies will be operating with recyclable resources and have energy consumption targets as well as CO2 targets. Suppliers must also have these aspects in order to enter into business relationships.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>10. People<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]Another factor that is always important is people. This is mainly based on the fact that many companies will fail or make mistakes in the implementation of their digitalization plans. This also includes investments. To counteract this, by 2023 many companies will turn to models such as crowdsourcing, flexible sources of skilled labour or even internal staff to continue driving progress.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Source Cover Image: iStock \/<a class=\"photographer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/de\/portfolio\/smshoot?mediatype=photography\">smshoot<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[plista]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDC has issued its forecasts for the IT industry in the coming year.
