6 IT Trends to Watch in 2016

We were treated to a plethora of game changing tech-innovations in 2015 in the fields of virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and cyber security. As it gives way to another new year, it is time for small business decision makers to align their strategies around the trends that are predicted to rule the business arena in the coming months. Here are a few trends in the fields of  IT services that Tampa tech firms are banking on:

Rise of Contextual Data

The past year has witnessed an unprecedented growth in the area of IoT innovations. This year IoT will drive growth in the area of contextualized analytics.  This in turn will allow enterprises to create a more valuable information experience not only for clients, but also for employees and business partners.

Boost for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS is going to dominate the enterprise infrastructure space by capitalizing business owners’ growing interest in public and hybrid cloud. However, Microsoft Azure will continue to be a strong competitive force. 

Forward March of Open Source 

2016 is likely to see the CIOs embracing open-source-software-first approach. More open source businesses are likely to enter the public markets in the upcoming months. 

Security 2.0

In 2016, a new class of security solutions will emerge. They are premised at ‘machine learning’, a branch of computer science that leverages pattern recognition to identify malicious intent and can predict attacks.

New Market Opportunities in the East 

With more than 352 million Internet users, India is going to emerge as the strongest market for US-based enterprise software companies. The subcontinent will also be the chief driver for enterprise cloud and analytics spending.

The Rise of Business Relationship Management

In an effort to expand its bottom line, IT enterprises will embark on business partnership with the right organizations. Termed as business relationship management (BRM), this type of business venture will benefit both IT companies as well as their non-IT partners. Non-IT enterprises will gain access to the right information and technology and be able to speed up their time-to-market. On the other hand, it will enable tech-companies to drive more innovations in the digital space.

When it comes to IT services, Tampa-based firms are all geared up to make the most of these new trends. They are on their way to create a solution line-up that is perfectly aligned to the needs of the new-age entrepreneurs.
