As you all know, technology, digital services, big data and analytics are on the rise. If 2017 is any indication of what’s to come, we think it’s safe to say that the trend towards digital transformation is only going to strengthen in 2018.

Here are the top ten trends we’re watching in 2018.

         1. Data. Now more than ever, data is the key to good business. Period.

         2. Strategy. Now that big data is plentiful, it is crucial to have a strategy to use it for good... To minimize                    risk and pursue strategic initiatives that align with business objectives.

         3. Cloud growth. Everything is in the cloud! Seriously… We predict that nearly all businesses will begin or                expand on cloud migrations in 2018.

         4. DevOps. Collaboration is key to efficient application development, deployment and management.                          Increased adoption of DevOps will help organizations create a collaborative culture between                                    development and operations teams and eliminate inefficient silos.

         5. Internet of Things (IoT). As more devices, machines and infrastructure are connected, companies will                  look to streamline the flow of information from the IoT in 2018.

         6. Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is the future. AI allows for increasingly personalized information that can               empower businesses.

         7. Personalization. Now that there is endless information made available to business, personalizing those                reports is crucial in order to disseminate the most important information that can make or break                              growth.

         8. Predictive analytics. In order to learn and grow proactively, predictive analytics will increasingly allow                  businesses to make moves to improve with consumer trends.

         9. Information Technology prioritization. Information Technology has been around a long time and                          often thought of as the troubleshooting department but now, regardless of industry, Information                          Technology will provide more value than nearly any other department. Information Technology can and                 will close the gap between businesses/executives and growth.

        10. Visual Reporting. Sick of boring reports? Visual reporting is on the rise. Graphic visualizations of                             information and video are streamlined, easy-to-understand ways to communicate insights gained from                 analytics.
