For centuries, technological progress has fueled the development of industries and new business solutions. Steam locomotives helped advance the advancement of mass transportation, lightning-accelerated production automation, and aviation enabled inter-continental occupations. In the 20th century, the birth of supercomputers capable of solving complex problems radically changed businesses. Unlike earlier innovations, computers influenced every industry bringing speed, accuracy and efficiency and encouraging companies to invest more in them. Thus, information technology (This) which increased operational efficiency but with very limited innovation.
The 21st century saw a series of disruptions in a very short time. Optical fiber led to a drastic reduction in telecommunications costs, the Internet became ubiquitous, and computation power exploded to give rise to a new technology called Cloud Within a decade, computing became an integral part of enterprise strategies to drive cloud innovations. It provided ready-to-consume business solutions and gave enterprises a “buy rather than build” option.
Cloud Powers Innovative Thinking
Cloud-based solutions gave everyone the power to innovate. Startups flourished with new business models as they could access affordable, ready-to-consume cloud-based solutions. They took advantage of cloud capabilities to create new software products. love the startup airbnb And TripAdvisor took the online brokerage path, offering customers a cloud-based platform to compare and choose between competing products. Integration with social media provided consumers with authentic reviews. These cloud-powered companies cut the cord between traditional businesses and consumers. In the future, traditional businesses will be commoditized, and a new set of companies will create a wrapper built from cloud-native technologies while providing maximum value to consumers.
Rise of Citizen Developers
Cloud has enabled the adoption of Agile, Lean and DevOps frameworks to revolutionize software development, moving away from traditional, time-consuming, rigorous methods. The quality of software mainly depends on the skills of the individual coders. This approach is being challenged by cloud-based open-source communities that provide available-to-deploy software code in public software libraries such as Github that anyone can consume. These communities allow anyone with basic coding knowledge to build a business solution, giving birth to a new generation of citizen developers. Collaboration between the coding community and business entrepreneurs is driving software-driven grassroots innovation.
development without human intervention
Today, the cloud is enabling software with abiotic components to have sensitive capabilities. However, resilience and self-healing abilities are not without limitations. While the modern development environment provides detailed telemetry, we still need humans to interpret it and take corrective action. Cloud is changing this approach by offering AL/ML capabilities in an affordable, ready-to-consume model. The AI cloud can provide the framework for building biological software that can run autonomously and develop without human intervention. These AI/ML capabilities are creating software with antifragility capabilities that can thrive in any environment. Various open-source communities have developed AI/ML models (eg: TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, or BigPandas) that enable citizen developers to create unique business solutions by combining intuitive logic and experience-based knowledge with powerful software code. enable those who receive Tony BlairThe Executive Chairman of the Institute for Global Change and former UK Prime Minister once said, “AI will allow us to do what we are uniquely meant to do: high-level thinking, a focus on strategy, and a drive of innovation.” to pave the way. .”
Adding Cognitive Diversity to Innovation Programs
Human intelligence developed through collaboration through collective cognition. In the late 20th century, collaboration between teams from diverse ethnic, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds brought cognitive diversity to technological advancements. Cognitive diversity brings together different lenses to explore possible scenarios and solutions. Most enterprises are promoting cultural, gender, and geographic diversity by incorporating talent. Unfortunately, cognitive diversity suffers from the “boss is always right” syndrome where decisions are made following military protocol. With AI capabilities maturing rapidly, software programs are likely to achieve cognitive diversity. They will act as devil’s advocate presenting all the desirable/undesirable possibilities that enable enterprises to take fair decisions.
Data sits comfortably in the cloud
Cloud has invaded the niche area of data management. The popular saying “Data is the new oil” demonstrates the value of data in the digital world. Data-driven companies dominated Fortune 100 companies. He designed advanced AI/ML-based solutions to extract data-based insights for business development. Cloud is now offering these capabilities in affordable, ready-to-consume, cloud-native solutions. The global reach of the cloud has ensured the availability of data management solutions for remote locations. Customers now feel more confident and secure in storing their data on the cloud than in self-managed data centers.
The Cloud: An Offering That’s Hard To Resist
Cloud adoption is driving innovation at a rapid pace. Theodore Memon, who invented the laser, never thought it would transform the world from sophisticated weapons to complex surgeries. Similarly, the innovators of cloud technologies never imagined that their simple offering would one day become the foundation for business transformation. Today, the cloud has made hardware, software and data management solutions redundant and provides an attractive unified platform that is impossible to resist.
