Digitisation is mapping the physical world and putting it into a digital context. The insight and control agenda must resolve what inference can be made in real time at the edge versus what data is backhauled for deeper learning. The organisation’s operating model will need to converge traditionally separate IT and OT domains. As IT steps up to provide solutions to digitise, connecting operational technology into an integrated operating model will be essential. Here also, the explosion of connected devices is forcing new security approaches such as zero trust and adaptive security responses, to ensure the integrity and the reliability of the organisation.

The innovation agenda is set to help engineering and development teams to create or build new digital products and services faster. Often strategically driven by the line of business, you seek an ability to scale and be agile, while creating the next wave of monetisable solutions. You are probably looking to build or deepen your cloud-native platforms, connecting API-driven capabilities to build new digital experiences. The agility and speed of a cloud-enabled service delivery model is key to unlocking the pace of the engineering agenda.

In your modernisation agenda applications and data are being modernised and moved across a hybrid technology platform landscape, architected for a cloud service delivery model. A cloud-first strategy has given way to a cloud-everywhere capability as the strategic ambition of IT organisations around the world. And rather than a hyper centralised strategy, the platform agenda sees organisations increasingly deploying infrastructure and platform services at the edge to unlock new digital experiences.
