As the sun sets on 2021 and businesses reflect on a world ravaged by the pandemic, it is technology that has provided green shoots of recovery and even prosperity.
H
ybrid working — so long frowned upon by so many — proved to be highly critical to keeping up productivity. This resulted in questions being asked over the need for so much office real estate too, as Microsoft reported that 70% of workers wanted hybrid working to stay. With so many confined to their homes, the huge surge in web traffic through ecommerce gave rise to many unicorns (the London Stock Exchange reported a record year for IPOs, raising £16.8bn) and some of the main online players such as Amazon benefited hugely from marketplace fees.
Those hyperscalers also used the extraordinary circumstances that gripped consumers and businesses to put cloud technology at the forefront of their strategy, raising the stakes for everyone with the clandestine threat of cybersecurity. But it is in the emergent power of augmented reality, artificial intelligence and automation that we see the widest impact. It’s through these tools that our customer experience will reach new levels, sustainability goals can be reached and intelligence can create operational efficiencies at scale.
