Enterprises Need to Adapt Technology Strategy to Address Increasingly Complex Business Environment: Mindtree Tech Beacon 2019

Warren, New Jersey and Bangalore, India (ots/PRNewswire) -
Mindtree, a global technology services and digital transformation
company, has published the fifth annual edition of Tech Beacon (https
://www.mindtree.com/about/resources/tech-beacon-technology-harbinger-
2019), an annual report from Mindtree to offer technology guidance
for enterprises.

Tech Beacon identifies a need for organizations to adapt their IT
architecture to address evolving business challenges. It also
recommends the most important emerging technologies and tools for
enterprises to invest in, experiment with or watch for future
application (Invest, Experiment and Watch) based on the maturity &
production readiness.

"Today, with aggressive digital disruption proliferating, the
global business environment is transforming faster than ever. It is
therefore important for enterprises to better understand how emerging
technologies offer a compelling value proposition to keep pace with
this dynamic reality," said Madhusudhan KM, Chief Technology Officer,
Mindtree. "Tech Beacon offers technology guidance to enterprises
based on the industry requirement, changing business dynamics, and
anticipated technology evolution."

Here are some key recommendations from Tech Beacon:

Systems interacting with systems

- The challenge behind scalability in micro-services can be addressed
with Distributed Architecture and Service Mesh due to its
consistent discovery, security, tracing, monitoring and failure
handling service.
- Reactive Autonomic Architecture should be at the top of chief
technology officers' priority list as it simplifies and improves
the end user experience by predicting their needs in a complex,
dynamic and uncertain business environment and avoids system
failure in unplanned situations.

Turning Information into Insights

- The role of Machine Learning is limited in the data harvesting
process. Organizations use humans for manual tasks like data
cleanup, outlier removal, etc. There is a need for integrating
exploratory data analysis tasks as part of a processing pipeline.
- Organizations should utilize Lambda and Kappa data processing
techniques to generate useful insights from available data. Lambda
offers a consistent pattern and a real-time view into the generated
insight, storing the data and then generating the insight in the
batch layer. Kappa is the next iteration in this evolution,
generating insights as the data arrives within its 'streaming
layer.'

Interaction with Humans

- Organizations are increasingly using conversational systems as a
channel to enable machines to interact with humans. These systems
offer Natural Language Processing (NLP) and integration
capabilities in the IT environment, in addition to mobile and web.
Organizations should use libraries like Rasa, Wit.ai, and
Microsoft's LUIS, which provide core language processing
capabilities and enable "human-like" conversations with existing
systems.
- Enterprises need a renewed architecture to deliver cognitive
experiences to their customers, enabling systems to interact with
users seamlessly. To enable these cognitive experiences,
enterprises should explore computer vision capabilities and tasks
such as recognizing objects and characters,
combining/matching/analyzing images or video with product details,
and even superimposing objects with three dimensional images on to
live video. This enables machines to extract data from and
understand the content of digital images and video.
- CTOs, while adopting machine learning and AI in their processes,
should also carefully draw in boundaries of interaction and
responsibility between humans and machines. Human intervention is
often a better solution than one that's fully automated, where
machines have too much control.

Tech Beacon 2019 has put its focus on seven technology categories
that will drive enterprises' technology strategy in the next 12
months: Application Development, Cloud computing, Internet of Things,
Artificial Intelligence, Conversational apps, Blockchain and eXtended
Reality (XR)

It also highlights technologies & tools for these seven focus
areas with a recommendation to Invest, Experiment or Watch, based on
their maturity and potential to drive business value.
