On November 24, Chile’s “Third Edition Times” website published an article by reporter Rodríguez Munizaga, entitled “Top 10 Technological Trends in Enterprises in 2021”.
The full text is as follows:
The arrival of artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things or 5G is one of the most significant trends. Network security and maximum use of e-commerce will also become the mainstream of the business community in 2021, and the application of technology will be tested by the epidemic like this year.
1. Artificial intelligence: It will continue to be one of the key technological trends of enterprise innovation in 2021, and will make the greatest contribution to pushing the enterprise forward. Machine learning makes work easier and simplifies the process. It uses computer systems to simulate the processing of the human brain and combines scientific and logical processes. Artificial intelligence trends that emerged this year and will continue in 2021 include the use of big data in e-commerce, and tools such as facial recognition and body temperature measurement to help companies prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
2. 5G: The fifth-generation wireless communication technology and standards will definitely affect the business world, because it will improve the digitization of mining and agriculture industry processes with higher efficiency, so that Internet of Things solutions can be extensively developed to better control crops , Avoid pests or calculate the amount of fertilizer used. In the mining industry, it will develop autonomous driving and new sensors to reduce risks on the job site and increase production efficiency. By effectively using energy and water resources and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, 5G will also make urban development more sustainable. Although the implementation of 5G is gradual, 2021 will be the year of 5G: the network is faster than 4G, the number of connected devices will increase by 100 times, and Internet calls, videos, images, audio, application and tool downloads will directly benefit.
3. Advanced analysis of data: Using data in the right way can achieve higher efficiency. Let us focus on key processes, automate processes, reduce costs, and make correct decisions. Analysis is the key to realizing business digitization. During the pandemic, the role of data analysis has become increasingly prominent due to the necessity of remote work. The useful data obtained through the client or user is constantly growing, and the tools for collecting, storing and processing this data are also growing. Companies can use instant and online data to make decisions or change directions. Data is everything today, and companies that don’t invest in advanced data analysis are bound to die.
4. Remote solutions: Due to the pandemic, remote office will flourish in 2020. From software packages that allow working in the cloud to solutions for network security, there are hundreds of solutions that allow remote work. There are also tools that allow communication with the team. A time-saving solution is digital signature, which has become a solution for completing transactions or signing documents remotely. In addition to encrypting documents, it can also sign any electronic transaction. Can simplify the process within the company.
5. Internet of Things: The Internet of Things not only realizes the connection between objects and the Internet, but also arranges specific events based on remotely directed tasks. Experts pointed out that in 2021, the Internet of Things will maximize the potential of connecting devices at home. For example, Siri or Alexa can send commands to smartphones or electronic device assistants to turn on or turn off household appliances, keys or lighting equipment. The Internet of Things will also flourish in large companies to help promote safety.
6. Multi-cloud application: Multi-cloud means using multiple public clouds. If a company tries to select a specific service from each public cloud to avoid relying on a single public cloud provider, it can choose multi-cloud. Workers and customers are becoming more and more sensitive to using a single software solution that cannot meet their future needs and may suddenly fail in certain activities. Research pointed out that since 2019, multi-cloud strategy has become a common strategy for 70% of companies. Evaluating and using a multi-cloud environment can help determine who can provide the most efficiency and support in each situation.
7. Maximization of e-commerce: E-commerce is one of the stars in 2020, breaking many people’s prejudice against online purchases, and network security has become the key to most successful experiences. It is expected that by 2021, many people will continue to make purchases through the Internet, which means that network security and after-sales service will be strengthened. In addition, the retail industry has also begun to unify, using e-commerce and key warehouses to improve delivery and delivery speed.
8. Blockchain: On October 15, the US government reported a new national security strategy, which will use blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology to develop new projects. At the same time, China is already advancing the project to officially adopt the central bank’s digital currency, and it will become the first country in the world to have a digital currency. PwC pointed out in a related report released last month that blockchain technology is expected to increase world GDP by US$1.76 trillion in 2030, creating value for different sectors such as health, finance, logistics, distribution or the public sector.
9. Virtual reality and augmented reality: Simply put, virtual reality immerses the individual in the environment, while augmented reality expands the user’s environment. As augmented reality becomes mainstream, it is expected that more companies will use it in their marketing strategies to build stronger and longer lasting connections. As the world gradually adapts to its limitations after the pandemic, augmented reality can play an important role in our daily interactions.
10. Advances in network security: This is one of the company’s most relevant projects, helping companies and the world to overcome multiple obstacles caused by the epidemic and telecommuting in 2020. In 2021, it will continue to develop as an important trend, because many companies are working in a mixed mode or completely remotely, putting the security of computer information, keys, and confidential files to the test. So what will be the trend of cybersecurity in 2021? Use AI to identify new attack threats; use blockchain technology to ensure the safe storage of data; improve remote authentication solutions to know who and when the company information is accessed at any time.
