The 7 pillars on which the distributed company is based

The rise of distributed organizations will continue throughout 2022 as the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt business agendas and entrench remote work and hybrid environments.

To successfully transform, companies must learn to choose the right tools. The Spanish technology consultancy Altia believes that there are seven trends that will especially mark the way.

First, it highlights Cyber ​​AI or intelligent cybersecurity solutions.

As cybercriminals are not going to stop their attacks and are becoming more and more professional, causing serious economic and image damage, companies must also increase the sophistication of their cybersecurity barriers.

Intelligent cybersecurity, which combines elements such as machine learning and DevOps to implement systems capable of fighting on the front lines without the need for technical professionals, will make it possible to neutralize advanced threats.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is evolving towards generative and responsible intelligence.

The 7 pillars on which it rests the distributed company

Beyond applying intelligence to collect and analyze data, innovations will be leveraged for further improvement. The objective is to facilitate the execution of autonomous and self-managed processes that can learn on their own and adapt on their own to changes.

The new regulations will also force the adoption of more responsible artificial intelligence practices and minimize the risks of algorithms.

On the other hand, Altia points to the native cloud model as a great opportunity, guaranteeing access to resources at any time and place.

Cloud native applications will be one of the keys to the development of applications and services this year by allowing flexibility and elasticity.

For this 2022, an extension of low-code platforms is also expected, which will allow developments to be available in a short time, reducing time-to-market, improving code quality and saving resources. This philosophy will help combat the lack of technology experts.

The automation of processes linked to the business through RPA is another phenomenon that must be taken into account, since it also contributes to cost savings. Other of its advantages are the reduction of errors and the economy of scale.

In the midst of all this list of technological trends, Altia highlights that "power continues to be from data", hand in hand with Big Data and Data Analytics, prediction and prescription tools.

Process mining will help over the months to evolve from the location of the data to the discovery of the reality of the processes, including the root causes of possible inefficiencies.

In addition, this year the theme of personalization will be taken to the extreme and trends such as the digital twin will be consolidated.

Finally, Quality Management will grow as a reference area within organizations, optimizing resources, streamlining the delivery of value and contributing to automate the delivery of software to productive environments.

These are the seven major trends that Altia is committed to, to which we could add others in the background such as blockchain, the generation of containerized services, multilateral systems or hyper-connectivity.
