Over the ages, technological advancement has fueled the development of new industries and business solutions. Steam engines enabled mass transit, electricity accelerated production automation, and advances in aviation enabled intercontinental businesses to flourish. In the 20th century, the advent of supercomputers capable of solving complex problems completely changed businesses. Unlike previous innovations, computers impact every industry delivering speed, accuracy and efficiency and encouraging companies to invest further in them. Therefore, Information Technology (IT) was born driving performance but with very limited innovation.
The 21st century saw a series of disruptions in a very short time. The cost of telecommunications dropped dramatically as fiber optics, the Internet became ubiquitous, and computer power exploded, giving birth to a new technology known as telecommunications. Cloud Information Technology. Within a decade, the cloud has become an integral part of enterprise strategies to drive innovation. It provides ready-to-consumer business solutions and offers a “buy instead of build” option for businesses.
The power of cloud computing for innovative thinking
Cloud-based solutions empower everyone to innovate. Startups with new business models thrive because they can access affordable, ready-to-go cloud-based solutions. They have exploited the capabilities of the cloud to build new software products. Startups like Airbnb and TripAdvisor have used an online brokerage route that provides a cloud-based platform for customers to compare and choose between competing products. Integration with social media has provided consumers with authentic reviews. These cloud-based companies have cut the navel between traditional businesses and consumers. In the future, traditional businesses will be commoditized, and a new group of companies will create an envelope built with cloud-native technologies that deliver maximum value to consumers.
The rise of citizen developers
The cloud has enabled the adoption of Agile, Lean, and DevOps frameworks to revolutionize software development, moving away from rigid, time-consuming, and traditional methods. The quality of software depends mainly on the skill of each programmer. This approach is being challenged by cloud-based open source communities that provide ready-to-use software code available in public software libraries such as GITHUB, which anyone can use. use. These communities allow anyone to build a business solution with a basic knowledge of coding, creating a new generation of citizen developers. The partnership between the crypto community and business entrepreneurs is driving software-based grassroots innovation.
Evolution without human intervention
Today, the cloud is enabling software with recognizable non-biological components. However, resilience and self-healing are not without limits. While modern development environments provide detailed telemetry, we still need humans to interpret and take corrective actions. The cloud is changing this approach by offering AL/ML capabilities in affordable, ready-to-go models. Cloud AI can provide frameworks for building organic software that can run automatically and evolve without human intervention. These AI/ML capabilities are creating fragment-resistant software that can thrive in any environment. Various open source communities have developed AI/ML models (e.g. TensorFlow, Scikit-learning or BigPandas) that enable citizen developers to build unique business solutions by combining logic Intuitive and knowledge-based experience with powerful software codes, achieves what Tony BlairThe Executive Chairman of the Global Change Institute and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom once said, “AI will allow us to do what we are meant to do: focus on high-level thinking, strategy and pave the way for innovation.”
Adding awareness diversity to innovation programs
Human intelligence develops through collective awareness by cooperation. In the late 20th century, cooperation between groups of diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds brought cognitive diversity to technological progress. Cognitive diversity offers different lenses to explore possible scenarios and solutions. Most businesses are promoting cultural, gender and geographic diversity while attracting talent. Unfortunately, cognitive diversity suffers from “the boss is always right” syndrome, where decisions are made following military protocols. With rapidly maturing AI capabilities, software programs are capable of achieving cognitive diversity. They will act as insidious advocates of all desired/unwanted possibilities allowing the business to make unbiased decisions.
Data sits comfortably in the cloud
The cloud has entered the niche of data management. The popular adage “Data is the New Oil” embodies the value of data in the digital world. Data-driven companies have dominated the 100-company fortunes. They created advanced AI/ML-based solutions to extract data-driven insights for business growth. Cloud is now delivering these capabilities in ready-to-go, affordable 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 when storing their data in the cloud than in self-managed data centers.
Cloud: An irresistible gift
Cloud adoption is driving innovation at a rapid pace. Theodore Maiman, the inventor of the Laser never imagined that it would transform the world from sophisticated weapons into complex surgeries. Likewise, cloud innovators never imagined that one day their simple offering would become the foundation for business transformation. Today, the cloud has made hardware, software, and data management solutions redundant and provides an irresistibly lucrative integration platform.
