Digital transformation remains at the forefront for many as the Covid19 pandemic continues to influence the way we work. If something has been proven in the last two years, it is important to adapt quickly in the face of uncertainty. In 2021, the CIO focused more on operational agility than ever before. To prepare for the unexpected and adapt to everything in 2022, companies need to accelerate their digital transformation efforts and prioritize specific technology trends.
What are digital market leaders preparing for next year? Let’s look at the 5 trends forecasted for 2022 by CIOs and technology leaders.
1. Consolidation of software vendors
With the global influx of merger and acquisition activities, private equity is combined with the development of technology that has acquired large companies and brought about the integration of software providers. The acquisition of a technology provider was temporarily hit by a 2020 pandemic, but M & A activity recovered in 2021 as the economy recovered. According to a Gartner Inc report, technology business integration is expected to reach new heights in 2022. By 2022, 4,444 global M & A activities with technology providers are expected to exceed Gartner’s 2018 record highs.
2. More choices for multi-cloud implementation
“In recent years, the cloud has become the most important storage location for software providers to store their data. Many people are migrating their applications to cloud platforms. The current trend and the trend that will continue in 2022 are software vendors investing in multi-cloud implementations. For companies that require regulatory or localized data such as GDPR, the company is single. You don’t want to be tied to a cloud provider. “

3. Data is used to unleash sustainability
Customers, employees, and investors, after long-term turmoil and uncertainty, enterprises create long-term value for all stakeholders It is important to increase the focus on the data by 2022, as we expect it to be focused. With this new mission, executives turn to data-driven insights and build a resilient, targeted organization that prioritizes communities, employees, and the environment in addition to customers.
“One of the biggest data technology trends to watch in the coming year is where and where enterprises are at risk of climate change by leveraging enterprise data and assessing stakeholder expectations. Is to understand where you need to act to be more sustainable.

4. Increasing open-source experimentation
“With the proliferation of 5G, we can expect more video and faster delivery speeds for all digital services. The pressure to modernize and rethink digital skills is the adoption of the cloud. From machine learning to AI, it will continue to accelerate next year. As AI-powered hyper-personalization becomes mainstream, AI will become a unique selling point for companies, and with open-source software. I think there will be more experiments. Experienced CIOs need to be familiar with open source in their environment and ready to contribute. “
-Vikas Gupta, SVP Sales Operations, Persistent Systems
5. Increasing adoption of hybrid cloud in the age of hybrid work
“When a company works on a hybrid work environment, executives need to rethink their priorities and balance size, speed, privacy, and security. Needs more flexibility than traditional data center environments and pure public cloud solutions can offer. “ “ This is why many companies are considering significant new investments in hybrid cloud options. That’s why. In 2022, hybrid cloud adoption will accelerate further to provide greater agility in the growth and support of remote workers.
