Digital Infrastructure

One of the fastest-growing Indian companies in the UK, who gave us an insight into what digital transformation will look like in 2022 business needs must be considered. 1. 5G and IoT 5G is the fifth generation technology for mobile networks. 5G’s primary characteristics include multi-peak data speeds, low latency, improved user experience, better connectivity and availability, and improved network bandwidth. 5G combined with edge computing can lead to interesting innovations. For example, IBM will offer cloud services to run 5G networks to Verizon and Telefonica. In turn, technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), drone-initiated inspections, and video inspections will automate everyday tasks while averting any network issues. Some of the use cases of 5G in the IoT domain include: Connected Automobiles: 5G’s low latency and high bandwidth will enable vehicles to store and initiate bi-directional communication. Shipping and Logistics: Easy and accurate tracking of shipped items. This will allow updating precise delivery timelines, which, in turn, will improve customer experience Remote Healthcare: 5G connectivity will also enable seamless remote patient monitoring. Also, health experts can provide assistance at any time and from anywhere irrespective of their location. 2. Zero-Trust Security Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle of maintaining strict access controls and not trusting anyone by default, even those already inside the network perimeter. With many organizations adopting the remote-first culture, the risk of cyberattacks has increased. Thus it becomes essential to introduce zero-trust security to prove resilient. Organizations are already planning/implementing migration to a cloud-based, zero-trust security model. The new security solution will help establish trust, authority, brand reputation, and initiate safe B2B communications. Zero-trust security aids in securing applications, data, identity, endpoints, networks, and even infrastructure. The three primary principles of zero-trust security include:

A leading experience, engineering and technology solutions company, discusses the advantages and disadvantages and how to use them to solve key challenges. Low code platforms can support businesses looking to launch ideas, products, services, and even new business units quicker than traditional development methods. Low code platforms can be applied to all-encompassing digital experience challenges and specific industry problems, i.e., e-commerce and those that are context-specific, i.e., internal HR tools. Within low code platforms, you’ll often find themed elements that respond to various industry-focused and department-specific business challenges with UI (User Interface) kits regularly updated.  However, although these graphical user interfaces can power accelerated delivery, they’re not a silver software engineering bullet and should not be treated as such. 

The technology space in South Africa has been inexorably altered as a result of the pandemic.The way enterprises went about their business is simply not going to cut it anymore.
