3. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning – organizations are increasingly investing in AI and machine learning to expedite and personalize services, reduce human bias and increase productivity. They are also learning that the value of AI and machine learning tools are dependent upon the data they are fed.
4. Multi-cloud computing – most enterprises today run on multi-cloud environments, but managing multiple clouds is complicated. API-led application development and containerization are two potential solutions to this problem.
5. Partnering with IT to turbocharge the business – in order to maximize the full potential of technology, organizations are positioning IT as a core business enabler.
6. Co-creating value with external stakeholders – the best businesses are creating a network effect by building collaborative ecosystems of partners, consumers and external stakeholders.
7. Fueling business performance with APIs – businesses leveraging APIs are experiencing increased productivity and revenue growth, but they must be productized and easily reusable to deliver full value.
