The global pandemic has changed the trajectory and velocity of digital transformation and will likely continue to do so until 2021. These are top 5 trends that CIOs cannot afford to miss out in 2021.

1. Top 5 Digital
Transformation
Trends
01
Data and analytics are here to stay and
play a key role in organizational cultures
and the decision-making process.
Businesses dealing with a large amount
of customer data can leverage it to provide
real-time business intelligence. We will see
more companies investing in Business
Intelligence (BI) software.
Prioritize Data
02
As COVID-19 increasingly drives
organizations into the cloud to manage
their remote workforce, Newman predicts
a rise in hybrid cloud strategies to help
organizations achieve the right balance for
their individual cloud infrastructure needs.

Hybrid Cloud
03
Many businesses will use RPA to automate
tasks and upskill and boost their existing
workforces' value. Gartner projects
spending on RPA software to hit $1.3 billion
this year, with Forrester forecasting that
there will be a $2.9 billion RPA software
market in 2021.
Automate
with RPAs
04
As per a report by IDC- worldwide
spending on AI systems will hit nearly
$98 billion. Self-teaching algorithms and
intelligent machinery will play a large role
in the ongoing battle against this outbreak
and others we may face in the future. AI
undoubtedly remains a key trend.
Invest in Artificial
Intelligence
05
Though cybersecurity has always been
of high importance, with the impact of
COVID-19, only the volume has been
emphasized. Attacks on banks rose 238
percent, and attacks on cloud servers
increased by 600 percent from January
to April 2020 alone. With fewer employees
working on the same secure network, it is
imperative that companies support their
systems and upgrade their cybersecurity
strategies, and expand them to home
networks and mobile home devices.
