admin Technology has now become a basic need for survival of the software companies and at large with innovation knocking the doors of every industry. Now Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning are the buzz words. Every software company looking for innovative ways using technology to further improve customer experience, reduce the time to market significantly and improve operational efficiency thereby reducing operating costs.
Here are a few trends which will rule software companies’ growth and advancements in 2019 and be prepared to see a convergence of them across different applications to create an unimagined future for humans.
Metamorphic Artificial Intelligence
In 2019, while there is still a lot of exposure to AI, it is going to be more mainstream across different segments of a software company and integrated with internal systems of company-specific requirements. AI will be used within software companies from operational to more strategic work tasks. This will be possible through advancements in Deep Learning and better usage of Neural Networks. The amount of data available to develop software models has increased significantly and therefore will help Deep Learning. Automated Machine Learning algorithms will help software companies to solve complex problems without the need of creating complex models and workflow. The interoperability of neural networks has been a challenge and to fix this Tech Giant companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have set up Open Neural Network Exchange. This open-source AI ML possibly will gain momentum in the next year. Not only the software improvements but AI optimized chips build for specific AI tasks also help AI take off to a new trajectory.
Adaptive Automation
Certainly, software companies will have to replace traditional approaches with new automation systems. Work-flows will be refurbished with automation to help simplify the process of maintaining vast data and tasks for organizations on a timely basis. This can help software companies to improve day-to-day processes to increase overall efficiency. From personal gadgets to a massive scale industrial application, automation will become a key focus of technological change. The two types of automation which the companies are adopting are RPA and BPA. Business Process Automation focuses on restructuring the workflows and core operations of a business by making day-to-day tasks more effective. Robotic Process Automation uses software to amplify the performance of existing processes and replaces human tasks with software.
Robust Security
As data will continue creating new opportunities for companies, privacy risks, and regulatory compliances will be on the front line. To secure data, new automated preventive systems will rule the Information security world. Cybersecurity is believed to become more intelligence-driven in 2019. Both small and large scale companies will have to redefine their approaches to overcome data security challenges and protect their sensitive data by timely prediction and with accurate handling processes. Software companies have to migrate their important data on cloud-based services and utilize the benefits of AI/ML programs to help identify and protect the servers from hackers thus preventing security breaches and cyber-attacks.
Agile API & Microservices
Most of the software companies are in the consistent watch for means to speed up time to production, reducing cost and improving efficiency. While recently developed are building applications on cloud-based technology, on the other hand, established software companies are looking to accelerate digital transformation. In either case, modernization is the need of the hour to gain more market share and remain agile in the competition. The most of new applications built and deployed from 2019 will be through API, Microservices and Containerization. These agile approaches of API and microservices will make applications more scalable and reduce deployment time.
