This is what we have to look forward to in 2020. Regardless of technological advancement, however, the most important thing I want you to take away is that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fowmedia.com\/customer-experience-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">culture and customer experience<\/a><\/strong> (CX) will be pivotal to any company\u2019s success in 2020. Yes, I\u2019ve been saying it for a while. No, most companies still aren\u2019t heeding the advice, and as a customer, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed. (We\u2019re talking to you, Sprint\u2026 Spectrum\u2026 Charter\u2026 you get the picture.)<\/p>\n<p>That said, the underpinnings of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.convergetechmedia.com\/digital-optimization-isnt-digital-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital transformation<\/a><\/strong> remain the innovation and technology that allow companies to compete, differentiate, and outperform. When it comes to the tech side of digital transformation trends for 2020, some things on the list you\u2019ll recognize from a few years past. Others may take you by surprise\u2014or perhaps, you\u2019ll finally start to take them seriously. Regardless, these are my picks for the digital transformation trends for 2020.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>5G for You and Me<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst things first, yes, we will actually start to use 5G in 2020. For real. Like\u2014seriously. All the big guns like Qualcomm, ATT, Verizon, Nokia, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/futurumresearch.com\/5g-rising-ericsson-validates-5g-booming-sooner-than-later\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ericsson<\/a><\/strong> are doing their part to make sure this is true. You don\u2019t have to take my word for it. This is going to work exponentially in favor of things like smart car development and other situations where real-time data sensors and connections to the IoT are essential. Thus, the big news here isn\u2019t just for 5G. It\u2019s for the development of other industries that have been waiting on it with bated breath.<br \/>\nOn this note, I want to make a short mention of WiFi6. Not to be confused with 5G, WiFi 6 is the next gen of WiFi connectivity, but 5G is the next gen of wireless. They\u2019re not the same, but both will explode next year. On the WiFi 6 side, this means faster connectivity and processing in the workplace, home, and via your entertainment center, rather than remotely connected IoT devices. Merely a point of clarification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics are the Competitive Advantage<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ll say it once: companies that still aren\u2019t investing in analytics by 2020 probably won\u2019t be in business in 2021. There is simply far too much <a href=\"https:\/\/futurumresearch.com\/sales-teams-need-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>customer insight<\/strong><\/a> to be had (and far too much customer experience to improve) from data collection and processing in digital transformation for a company to remain competitive without it. And, the tech industry knows it. That\u2019s why we\u2019re seeing things like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tableau.com\/about\/blog\/2019\/6\/blog-1-110508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Salesforce acquiring<\/a><\/strong> Tableau and Microsoft creating its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudblogs.microsoft.com\/dynamics365\/bdm\/2019\/01\/29\/the-microsoft-power-platform-empowering-millions-of-people-to-achieve-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Power Platform<\/a><\/strong>. The heavy hitter tech companies are figuring out that the future is in data\u2014most specifically, the real-time processing of it. So regardless of what industry you\u2019re in, make use of data and analytics in 2020.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI and Machine Learning Powering #2<\/strong><br \/>\nJust like 5G is of no value in and of itself, neither is data. If you\u2019re going to invest in analytics, you need to invest in AI and machine learning to be able to process the complex and sophisticated amounts of information and data sets you are collecting. Put it this way: you wouldn\u2019t fill your house with food if you didn\u2019t have the people there to cook it and eat it. The same is true with data and AI. Do not bother investing in data if you won\u2019t also simultaneously invest in AI and machine learning to make it meaningful. As noted above, some of the biggest minds in tech are working to make it easy to do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy Renaissance<\/strong><br \/>\nThanks in part to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eugdpr.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EU\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019ll be seeing more companies actually paying attention to privacy and security issues in 2020. In fact, many will smartly use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/futurumresearch.com\/what-does-privacy-mean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">privacy and transparency<\/a><\/strong> as a brand differentiator, allowing users to opt in or out with greater ease and awareness of the types of information being collected about them. That said, just because it\u2019s smart to jump onboard the privacy train, that doesn\u2019t mean all companies will. Amazon will likely remain mum about the info it\u2019s gaining from Alexa, for instance. Facebook will likely keep stealing everything it can from users\u2014and selling it to the highest bidder. But in all of that, there is tremendous opportunity for companies like Dell, Cisco, HPE to create some real and meaningful structure around privacy to usher us through the \u201820s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blockchain beyond Crypto<\/strong><br \/>\nI <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danielnewman\/2018\/09\/11\/top-10-digital-transformation-trends-for-2019\/#7dd9fa3a3c30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">called it last year<\/a><\/strong>. Blockchain was a bust for 2019. But coming into 2020, I do believe we\u2019ll finally start to see some meaningful use cases for blockchain beyond cryptocurrency. We know <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/futurumresearch.com\/blockchain-as-a-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon Web Services<\/a><\/strong> is already working hard, as are<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbinsights.com\/research\/tech-giants-blockchain-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> tons of other global leaders<\/a><\/strong> including China\u2019s Alibaba. What\u2019s more, they\u2019re actually putting together real use cases to go along with the technology, especially in terms of intellectual property, royalties, etc. I believe those things will actually take off this coming year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>XaaS<\/strong><br \/>\nEverything as a service will gain even more momentum in even the most hardware-driven industries\/sectors of technology. As we continue to see the evolution of onsite, off-side, cloud, hybrid, etc., we\u2019ll see \u201cbig IT\u201d moving on-premises as-a-Service, as well as big data, analytics, blockchain and more. Yes, basically EVERYTHING will really be available as a service in 2020, and easier than ever before, in whatever form your company requires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RPA Craze<\/strong><br \/>\nI hesitate to list this as an advancement because it\u2019s the simplest form of AI a company can muster. But Robotic Process Automation, as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/futurumresearch.com\/robotic-process-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lowest hanging fruit of AI<\/a><\/strong>, will continue to grow. Attended RPA leads the way but as the craze continues and RPA proves itself trustworthy we\u2019ll see unattended pick up steam. Companies like Cisco are also using RPA to help create wiggle room to upskill and augment the skills of their existing workforce. (Smart companies: take note.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conversational AI<\/strong><br \/>\nI know, Siri still sucks, and it\u2019s still impossible to use voice-to-text to write a chat message. However, I do believe we\u2019ll see at least some form of conversational AI become useful in 2020.<br \/>\nMicrosoft Conversational AI is working incredibly hard to build a platform that can not just hear correctly, but follow complex conversations and understand the nuances of emotion all while continuing to improve over time. Will we see it in everyday tech in 2020? Likely no\u2014but I think the foundations of it will be solidified in the coming year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ACPC Heats Up<\/strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019re always connected, so we need PCs that are always connected as well. We\u2019ll see an expansion of ACPCs this year with embedded 5G and LTE, and of course we\u2019ll see some smart business partnerships follow suit (Lenovo and Qualcomm comes to mind, but I anticipate more will come out of the woodwork.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driverless Cars, Drones and Smart Cities<\/strong><br \/>\nHear me out. I know we\u2019ve been talking about them for years, literally. But I think with edge computing rowing and 5G finally about to burst, we\u2019ll see some developing (finally) in driverless cars, drones, and smart(-ish\/-er) cities in digital transformation trends for 2020. Companies like Intel\/Nvidia and BMW\/Volvo are partnering up (do you sense another theme here?) to bring these new technologies to reality FOR REAL.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Could these digital transformation trends for 2020 change? Absolutely, in the blink of an eye. But I think we\u2019re finally starting to see value shake out from a number of technologies that have been stalling in the past few years. And I\u2019m excited to see where it takes us.<\/p>\n<p>The original version of this article was first published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danielnewman\/2019\/07\/14\/top-10-digital-transformation-trends-for-2020\/#1eef712876be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Forbes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"postauthor\">\n<div class=\"author_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"avatar avatar-80 photo alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/714a64904f405666fb5cebae402ea217?s=80&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/714a64904f405666fb5cebae402ea217?s=160&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 80px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 80\/80;\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"author_des\">\n<h4><em>Author: Daniel Newman<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><em>Daniel Newman is the Principal Analyst of Futurum Research and the CEO of Broadsuite Media Group.
