Three Tech Trends to Watch in 2019

Three Tech Trends to Watch in 2019

I recently shared my three top technology trends to watch in the new innovation journal Horizons by SAP:  

GET TO KNOW ME

Digital interactions are creating an expanding technology identity for every consumer – one that will be key to understanding the next generation of consumers and delivering rich, individualized, experience-based relationships. Companies will understand people and their goals better than ever before, and they’ll have the agility to act in the moment to meet people’s needs.

HUMAN-PLUS WORKERS

Workforces are becoming “human plus.” Workers are empowered by their skill sets and knowledge, plus a new, constantly growing set of capabilities made possible through technology. Companies must adapt technology strategies that successfully created this next-generation workforce to support a new way of working in the post-digital age.

SECURE US TO SECURE ME

In our Accenture Technology Vision 2019 survey, 87% of business and IT executives agree that to be truly resilient, organizations must rethink their approach to security in a way that defends not just themselves but their ecosystems. Companies must embrace ecosystem partnerships for security, just as they have done to deliver best-in-class products, services, and experiences. It’s about collaborating with partners and making security a key component of how companies build business partnerships.
