How Cloud Computing Is Changing Management
Cloud computing is transforming how goods are designed, allowing for greater collaboration between corporate IT and other business departments such as sales, finance, and forecasting. It also encourages increased customer contact, even to the point of jointly inventing products with their customers. New means of building and deploying software, in particular, will stimulate new kinds of fast-acting organizational architectures. "Cloud-native" software emphasizes ease of use and low-impact changes to any specific software application's components. Massive programs are broken down into a collection of "microservices" that can be changed without affecting the software in use.
The opportunities provided by new technologies frequently spawn management theories and practices. Interchangeable parts, for example, sparked ideas about how to organize assembly lines and logistics. Mainframe computers enable the area of Operations Research to perform complicated calculations. Client-server technology spawned enterprise resource planning systems, which required system-wide visibility to manage business processes (BPM).
As a result, it's critical to consider how the most transformative information technology of our time, cloud computing, will affect management. What does it enable us to accomplish differently, and how will this impact our future operations?
History reveals that the primary way information technology affects management is through changes in data collecting: Operations Research's large-scale investigation revealed tedious data collection around a few measures, which was then translated to punch cards. Similarly, BPM remembered the interactions of several stakeholders throughout the product development process, including the supply chain and final assembly.
Top 5 digital transformation trends of 2021
Low-code, MLOps, data streaming, and multi-cloud management will boost business agility and accelerate organizations' digital transformation journeys in 2021. As weather a fatal pandemic, the year 2020 will be remembered when businesses responded to new threats, switched to new business models, and accelerated their digital transformation initiatives.
Going digital was no longer a corporate luxury in the COVID-19 period of 2020, but a matter of existence. Remote working, moving to collaboration workflows and realigning operations from supply chain management to customer experiences all required digital transformation.
CIOs and IT executives no longer need to persuade the business of the importance of technology in all parts of operations. The challenge in 2020 was how quickly IT could collaborate with business executives to offer cloud collaboration, workflow, and analytics capabilities.
This trend will continue through 2021, but with a twist: IT executives will change from a reactive to a proactive, strategic approach to digital transformation. IT executives will collaborate with their business counterparts to develop and enhance digital business models, promote a culture that values innovation, and leverage technology and data to gain a competitive advantage. Here are the five themes that will influence how CIOs and IT leaders develop goals, objectives, and digital transformation roadmaps that will help their organizations thrive.
5G technology and networks
The next generation of telecom networks (also known as 5G) continues to expand the market towards the end of 2020 and will continue to spread globally. Beyond speed, the technology is projected to bring in a large 5G IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem, in which networks can meet the communication demands of billions of linked devices while maintaining the proper balance of speed, responsiveness, and affordability.
