The concept of process improvement is about to be upended… factories of today collect massive amounts of data and use tools such as Microsoft Business Intelligence (Power BI) to create dashboards. These dashboards tell a story of what happened and model changes for process improvement. They have worked very well to establish standards and provide an early warning system with their formidable ability to bring relevance and context to data, but they cannot do a simulation and change variables using AI or ML in a predictable fashion then immediately bring them back into the physical world to provide ROI.

The most recent trend in application development pertains to leveraging design thinking to solve problems. The emphasis is on understanding the user’s attitudes, behaviors, and challenges before developing a solution. Digital tools have made it possible to visualize solutions through wireframes before developing the product features and functionalities. Today, it is also possible to let users interact with these features through high-fidelity wireframes and gather their feedback before the development phase.

Recent research has estimated that the IT outlay on Enterprise Application Development will reach $429 billion in 2021, which signifies a 7.2% growth from last year. The enterprise software market has experienced fabulous growth in recent years, with its revenue doubling up between 2009 and 2019. This makes it evident that enterprises have consistently invested in building and modernizing applications.

The post-pandemic world will embrace technology much faster than it was previously forecasted to. But the breakneck pace of tech adoption will be focused on a few innovations that would readily yield tangible benefits as the world grapples with the problem of reviving the economy. This post will delineate the megatrends in technology and the possibility of a more immediate adoption globally.

2020 — the year the world will see astronomical changes in how technology impacts our lives. Four months in and one can argue we've already seen drastic shifts in the ways technology can effect our lives as we work through the challenges of a global pandemic.

A legacy application (app) refers to any outdated technology that needs to be replaced or updated. According to a recent study, one-third of all businesses continue using legacy apps that are over a decade old. Also, one-fifth of all companies have specific applications that haven't changed for over 15 years.

Technology continues growing at an exponential rate — and so do various technology trends. When it comes to software development, certain trends come around for a few years while some become mainstays of the developmental landscape. In some cases, it’s years before a technology trend can become mainstream — after it has been adopted by enough industries. In this article, we discuss the next big trends in software development.
