Gartner: Top Strategic Technology Trends in 2022
Composable applications, generative AI, and data fabrics are all part of Gartner’s strategic technology trends 2022 edition.
Composable applications, hyperautomation and generative artificial intelligence have been highlighted as some of the most important strategic technology trends for CIOs and IT executives to be aware of in 2022, according to technology research firm Gartner.
“CIOs must find the IT force multipliers to enable growth and innovation, and create scalable, resilient technical foundations whose scalability will free cash for digital investments. These imperatives form the three themes of this year’s trends: engineering trust, sculpting change and accelerating growth,” said David Groombridge, research vice president at Gartner.
Generative AI
Generative AI is a powerful machine learning technique that can create new, unique content from existing text, audio files or images. Imagine this type of AI put to work creating stock images for specific situations, using the plethora of available images online as guidelines.
This technique could also be applied by technology companies looking to enable a low-code environment, with the AI operating in the background while the user works in a visual platform.
Composable applications
Software providers that have adapted to the changing business circumstances of their clients throughout the coronavirus pandemic have seen their success and customer loyalty increase, and that need for composability system design is now the new normal that businesses expect.
“Composable business principles help organizations master the accelerated change that is essential for business resilience and growth. Without it, modern organizations risk losing their market momentum and customer loyalty,” said Groombridge.
