3 Tips to Successful Hybrid Cloud Management

In this modern era, data becomes one of the critical assets that can drive business. The velocity at which it is being generated and the volume of data collected by the business are increasing and accelerating by the day. Even, IDC’s research estimates that 463 exabytes of data will be generated every day by 2025. With this volume, can you imagine how big the challenge can be for storing a company’s data?

Traditional storage is not enough to store the growing volume of data since maintenance and hardware investment are often needed to optimize its capacity. That’s why a solution is needed by enterprise in managing the system and data flexibly in store. One of them is by implementing a successful Hybrid Cloud strategy.

However, planning and preparing for data management in the Hybrid Cloud only is not enough. Some key aspects also have to keep operating to achieve the maximum data management in Hybrid Cloud. In this article, we have compiled three things to successful Hybrid Cloud management. Curious to know how? Check them below here:

1. Identify How it Works

Once you know Hybrid Cloud can be a solution to your data management, you need to understand how it works. This not only includes finding good tools, but it also involves strategies.

The first step is to understand what you need to manage are:

  • Verifying the applications involved and what they do
  • Gaining visibility into the way users interact with the applications
  • Understanding the criticality of the workloads to the business
  • Identifying who owns the workloads
  • Confirming where workloads run 

2. Monitor the Hybrid Cloud Security Provider

In simplifying data management in Hybrid Cloud environment, business also needs to understand the requirements for security and governance. Hybrid Cloud security needs to be a focus from the start, and mechanisms like identity and access management (IAM) make it simpler by giving business ways to assign the identities to servers, people, devices, and data. Thus, it would be easy to manage the access. Not only that but the security also requires encryption for all information, both when it’s at rest and when it’s in use.

Additionally, Service Level Agreements (SLA) also need to be considered as part of the successful Hybrid Cloud management. SLAs are contracted promising specific levels of service to the end-user, with penalties if those levels aren’t met. Knowing those promises is an essential part of making sure the hybrid cloud manager meets expectations.

3. Determine Tools to Support Hybrid Cloud

Protect Fintech With 5 Functions of Veeam Backup

As a pandemic COVID-19 spread to almost all over the world, the demand for digital channels for payment, credit, business, and general cybersecurity, has accelerated. This can’t be said with no reason, of course, but technology has played a key role to grant loans and monitor the financial health of many individuals and SMEs. Therefore, it is not a surprise anymore to see if financial technology (fintech) and credit analytics will be crucial drivers of change in the future.

However, as a massive digital transaction has been made by users, it places Fintech as a vulnerable industry to be attacked by all kinds of cyber threats, including ransomware. It can be said as Fintech has personal or commercial financial and superannuation information. So, if the organization doesn’t have any proper protection or security system, ransomware may infect fintech IT systems as long as there’s a vulnerable gap in its IT system.

Implementing Veeam Backup can be the solution to protect Fintech data. Veeam prides itself on being in the front lines, fighting the good fight against ransomware, and protecting important data kept by the fintech. It offers transparent and actionable strategies on how to educating employees, rotating backup copies across several locations, and leveraging cloud options for making backups practically immutable.

Besides that, Veeam also has five functions that can protect fintech from a ransomware attack. Read those below here:

Protecting backup data from attack

Air-gapped or “immutable” backups offer a powerful technique for being resilient against ransomware and other threats. Enabling a replica of its backup, stored out of reach from cyber attacks, utilizing controls that ensure deletions or changes cannot happen without strict multi-level approvals.

Veeam’s Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR), partnered with Capacity Tier (also known as Cloud Tier), enables an easy-to-use capability that writes backup data into object storage on any platform that supports it. So, it will protect fintech data.

Detecting ransomware

Detecting ransomware attacks in their initial stages can be difficult. That’s why Veeam provides the ability to closely monitor and protect fintech IT environment and be aware of any suspicious or abnormal activity.

By analyzing CPU usage, datastore write rate and network transmit rate, Veeam can protect fintech by identifying if there are higher than normal amounts of activity on a particular machine. Not only that but when the alarm is triggered, this immediately notifies fintech to inspect the machine, look at the resource counters and determine for the organization whether the activity is normal. If it’s not, this is a good indicator that more steps should be taken to determine if ransomware is the actual cause.

Ensuring ransomware-free backups

Viruses can be undetected and dormant in IT current systems and ready to pounce. If this occurred to the organization, fintech can use the power of Veeam backup and root out ransomware threats before they attack. Not only that, but fintech also can keep ransomware out for good with an automated step to scan the backup for malware.

Restoring guaranteed virus-free workloads

Viruses can be undetected and lay dormant in older backups. Therefore, fintech has to make sure it can protect itself. Secure Restore enables a complete anti-virus scan of its backups when restoring. Having access to the latest virus definitions helps safeguard against previously unknown viruses. That’s why it will protect fintech by providing greater confidence that dormant threats won’t be reintroduced back into the environment.

Testing workloads securely

Unsure of a current workload? Suspect that it may be infected? No worries! Fintech can restore the data into a fully secured and isolated environment to test. By tapping into the power of Veeam to restore data, workloads and applications may into a fully isolated virtual sandbox environment. Test for cyber threats and other issues while performing potential remediation activities – without impacting any production system. So, it will protect fintech data against ransomware.

How Cloud Computing Can Help Enterprise Facing Future IT Challenges

/in , /by

cloud enterpriseHow Cloud Computing can help Enterprise Facing Future IT Challenges

As technology evolves and shifts digitally, many organizations now are adapting and developing their infrastructure as well. Ranging from lifestyle, education, healthcare, and even business industry are now into digital for the better development process. By seeing this, of course, we can conclude that technology has opened up many opportunities and automation for industries. Therefore, it is no doubt that technology has made all activities become easier now.

Although its development has come with a good prospect for industries, digital technology could also cause cybersecurity threats. According to Gartner, the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that doubled every five years has created security risks that must be mitigated. Not only that, but the expansion of digital technology would also make organizations keep maintaining their infrastructure for their business continuity in the future. Therefore, solutions are needed by organizations to face these IT challenges.

Gartner has predicted a few cores that will help enterprises through the digital era and business challenges. Read them below here:

1.  Isolated or segmented network devices will stand stronger against cyber attacks

Gartner expects more than 15 billion IoT devices will connect to the enterprise infrastructure by 2029. Corporate, guest, trusted and untrusted devices all pose a risk to the enterprise if IT leaders do not properly coordinate when and how they will be connected.

It is not uncommon for IT organizations to find IoT devices on their networks that they did not install, secure, or manage themselves. These are the devices that can be hacked in as little as three minutes, with breaches taking six months or more to discover. Therefore, it is important for enterprises to be aware of this cyber-attack. But, how to prevent this? 

  • Enterprise could rally the entire organization to agree on a common governance structure for device connectivity. Without one, IT organizations will risk losing control of being able to secure the network.
  • Create a device certification process for all devices that must be passed before any device is connected to the enterprise network.
  • Be sure to include contributions from a cross-functional team, not just within IT.

By segmenting or isolating devices, enterprises will be less vulnerable to cyber threats. In fact, through 2023, enterprises that do so will experience 25% fewer successful cyberattacks.

2.  Deployment to the Cloud Computing is accelerating

According to the 2020 Gartner Cloud End-User Buying Behavior Survey, almost all organizations plan to maintain or increase IT spending on Cloud Computing in the next 12 months. The statement apparently was caused by the automation that cloud infrastructure gave for enterprises in achieving new digital services and workloads. That’s why 40% of all enterprise workloads will be deployed in Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS) by 2023, up from only 20% in 2020. 

Not only that, COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in a recalibration of cloud strategies, where collaboration, mobility, and Virtual Desktops are rapidly moving to the Cloud Computing for a better distributed and secure workforce. But for cloud migrations, Gartner has marked that Disaster Recovery and scale-out applications that benefit from cloud flexibility can be a good choice for enterprise to run through.

3.  Edge Computing solutions will shake out over the next 5 years

Edge Computing platforms are software and hardware that enable a zero-touch, secure, distributed computing architecture for applications and data processing at or near the edge.

Centralized, cloud-hosted management with a growing portfolio of common cloud computing and edge capabilities, have put hyper-scale cloud providers in a good position to address a range of requirements for computing closer to the edge.  Yet, by year-end 2023, only 20% of installed Edge Computing platforms will be delivered and managed by hyper-scale cloud providers (an increase from less than 1% in 2020).

Not only that, a Senior Director Analyst of Gartner, James McArthur also said Edge Computing will evolve from supporting thousands of custom patterns to merely dozens, or complementing edge solutions. That’s why it is important for enterprises to prioritize a distributed cloud-based solution as the default and future-proof edge solutions.

Zettagrid Indonesia is one of the cloud computing service providers of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that offers Virtual Server, Virtual Datacenter, Backup as a Service (BaaS), and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). We also already achieved VMware Cloud Verified which could be beneficial for our customers so they could use all automation from VMware cloud technology.

Cloud Computing 20215 Cloud Computing Trends That Will Happen in 2021

 

The increasing number of data has brought the cloud to be the potential storage for its management. Cisco predicts that by 2021, cloud data centers will process as much as 94% of all workloads. With this percentage, Cloud Computing Industry like Cloud Service Providers had to increase their level of innovation to help businesses handle data management. Therefore, the solution is needed to prepare for any changes in Cloud Computing models. 

In this article, we compiled five Cloud Computing trends to help enterprises in facing cloud opportunities and challenges in 2021. Let’s take a look at these ones to make your cloud strategy to be more successful:

1. Moving Cloud Towards the Edge

As a new decade begins, many technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and even Machine Learning (ML) now appear to become solutions for some industries. Forresters said those components will need Cloud Computing for the integration. However, the integration would not be enough if other relevant factors like its deployments only on the cloud, therefore solutions like Edge, is needed to help its deployments.

The ‘Edge’ refers to a computing model that optimizes web applications and internet devices by reducing the data source distance. Some of the advantages of Edge Computing include easy deployment for services in the case of developers, and the ability of the cloud to solve the gap existing between the cloud and end-users. However, this integration may create a problem when it comes to providing high levels of data security.

2. AI Will Revolutionize Cloud Computing

As Cloud Computing rises in 2021, technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be an integral solution in driving the cloud towards its full potential. Let’s imagine what cloud that is integrated with AI, could do to anticipated inventions such as smart cities, self-driving cars, automated health-checks, among other inventions. 

Through Cloud Computing services such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), or Platform as a Service (PaaS), the IT department working with low budgets will be able to utilize the full power of AI. Not only that, but Machine Learning (ML) also will play a critical role to keep data centers running efficiently.

3. Multi-cloud will continue to grow

In 2020, multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud was a popular solution for enterprises in running their business needs. Yet, who might expect that this Cloud Computing trend still continues to grow in 2021? Due to the difference in services offered by cloud service providers, many organizations in 2021 still considering Multi-cloud as a solution. Gartner says, 80% of customers will be adopting Multi-cloud into their cloud strategy.

4. The rise of the cloud-native

As it is mentioned before, Multi-cloud will be rising in 2021. To activate the experience to be brought about by this change, cloud-native technologies can be a solution for the equation. Here are some components that make up the cloud-native technology stack:

  • Containerization

With projected revenue growth of 24 million by 2024, container management repositories contained the most power when it comes to cloud-native capabilities. This can be said as the cloud-native can perform tasks such as workload transportation across multiple channels (on-premise, the cloud, and on the edge).

  • Serverless computing

As the 5 best fastest growing Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud services in 2020, serverless computing enables the IT department to deploys applications across different clouds.

  • Orchestration platform

These platforms have a function to reduce the complexity of container management across different cloud service providers.

5. The needs for Data Security, Private, and Regulations will be increased

Although 2021 will be potential for a whole new level of innovation, this era also will be at risk of data security. According to LogicMonitor, IDC, 33.3% of organizations are struggling with cloud adoption because of data security. There are many questions about how the integration of new technologies such as 5G, serverless computing, edge computing, and many others will affect cloud security. Therefore, in 2021, Cloud Service Providers will be expected to come up with solutions that will ensure data security.

/in , /by

kendala saat wfh3 Kendala Umum yang Dihadapi Perusahaan Saat WFH

 

Keberadaan pandemi COVID-19 hingga kini terus memberi peningkatan yang signifikan. Tercatat pada Desember 2020 lalu, penambahan kasus per-minggu telah mencapai 48.434 kasus, sementara pada Januari 2021, kasus telah mencapai 51.986 per-minggu-nya. Besarnya jumlah tersebut tentu menjadi kekhawatiran tersendiri bagi pemerintah. Oleh karena itu, untuk kembali melandaikan angka tersebut, Pemerintah Indonesia kembali memberlakukan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) secara ketat bagi wilayah Jawa dan Bali mulai 11 Januari 2021.

Bagi perusahaan yang terdampak dengan kebijakan tersebut, sistem bekerja dari rumah (Work From Home, WFH) tentu menjadi solusi untuk mempertahankan keberlangsungan bisnisnya. Namun di sisi lain, pemberlakuan WFH di masa pandemi ini juga dapat membawa tantangan tersendiri bagi perusahaan. Lalu, kendala umum apa saja yang kerap ditemui perusahaan ketika menerapkan sistem WFH? Simak selengkapnya di bawah ini:

1. Konektivitas jaringan yang buruk

Saat WFH, konektivitas jaringan tentunya menjadi aspek utama yang perlu dipersiapkan dalam bekerja. Namun, jika konektivitas tersebut memiliki jaringan yang buruk, hal ini mungkin akan menghambat produktivitas WFH Anda. 

Dilansir Times of India, konektivitas jaringan yang buruk menjadi kendala umum yang sering ditemui saat WFH. Hal ini dapat terjadi mengingat sebagian besar penyedia telekomunikasi kerap mengalami masalah saat mengatasi permintaan jaringan yang meningkat. Sehingga, tak mengherankan jika aktivitas jaringan Anda kerap terganggu saat WFH. 

2. Komunikasi yang tidak memadai

Saat menerapkan sistem WFH, perusahaan tentu tidak hanya harus mempersiapkan tools yang akan digunakan ketika bekerja. Tetapi, komunikasi juga menjadi aspek penting yang perlu dijaga demi membangun produktivitas kerja yang sama seperti saat di kantor. 

Meski demikian, membangun komunikasi dan kolaborasi ketika WFH bukan hal yang mudah. Mengingat tidak semua perusahaan memiliki teknologi yang memadai untuk menerapkan sistem komunikasi dan kolaborasi antar karyawan. Oleh sebab itu, demi menjaga komunikasi dapat tetap berjalan, solusi seperti teknologi pun diperlukan agar produktivitas kerja bisa dicapai secara bersama.

3. Memonitor kinerja anggota tim

Memonitor kinerja anggota tim memang kerap menjadi kendala tersendiri bagi perusahaan yang tengah menjalankan sistem WFH. Bagaimana tidak, saat manajemen terbiasa memonitor kinerja karyawan selama bekerja di kantor, kini aktifitas tersebut harus beralih dilakukan dalam keadaan WFH. 

Bagi perusahaan dengan sistem teknologi remote working, manajemen tentunya dapat lebih mudah untuk memonitor pekerjaan dan deadline karyawan. Namun bagi yang tidak memilikinya, hal ini bisa menjadi masalah ketika menjalankan sistem WFH. Oleh sebab itu, solusi pun diperlukan demi memonitor kinerja karyawan yang lebih baik. Namun, bagaimana caranya?

Solusi Arupa Cloud Desktop

Arupa Cloud Desktop (ACD) bisa menjadi solusi perusahaan untuk mengatasi ketiga kendala umum saat menerapkan sistem WFH tadi. Dengan dilengkapi Admin Remote Management, 3000 GB data internet, IPS/IDS protection, dan fitur lainnya, ACD mampu meningkatkan produktivitas user serta memonitoring kegiatan user atau karyawan dengan lebih baik di masa PSBB ini.

How to Build Remote Working System for Organizations

 

As the pandemic COVID-19 spread all over the world, it’s certainly been an unexpected situation for many sectors of industries. With the emergency that happened, all the sectors including businesses are now requiring their employees to start working from home (WFH). For the majority of organizations globally, this is a temporary situation. However, for some, this shift would become long-term.

According to Gartner’s survey, 74% of CFO’s are considering remote work permanently for a high percentage of their employees after COVID-19. The survey is revealed following with the opportunity of the cost benefits of remote workforces that CFOs got. However, building a remote working culture bring challenges for some organizations, especially in communication and collaborations system. Then, how organizations enable a proper remote working system?

1. Maintaining collaboration

Many organizations were not prepared for remote working systems, therefore a solution is needed to implement process changes and upgrade systems to accommodate a remote workforce. However, a remote workforce can not succeed if the strategies were only prepared for the short-term. Thus, to achieve long-term success, organizations need to take the advantage of better communication and collaboration across the management.

Cloud Computing can be a solution for that. Because by offering its virtual environment and its flexibility, organizations can experience collaborative working anywhere, anytime, and with any devices as long as it is connected to the internet. Furthermore, this technology also has layered firewalls, so organizations don’t need to be questioned more about its security.

2. Combine the right tools and processes into the system

Having the right tools and technologies is a great start, however, it wouldn’t be enough for the organizations if there are no proper processes and how-to-use the tools to be delivered to the employees. Try to communicate it clearly with the employees, so they would know what they need to use, how to use it, and why they need to use it, as well as how to get help when needed.

3. Establish a Backup system

According to Harnas.co, the pandemic COVID-19 that spread all over the world including Indonesia has become an opportunity for hackers. It happens not only because people’s activity on the internet has increased, but it is also caused by many organizations that implementing a remote working system don’t have a proper security system.

If your organization implementing a remote working culture, you might don’t want this cyber attack case to be happened to the organization, right? Don’t worry! to mitigate the risk of a cyberattack, organization can establish a Backup system as the solution. With Backup, data and applications can be replicate to the cloud and will be restored to the on-premise again if the organization having data loss caused by cyber-attacks or human errors. Thus, organizations still could implement remote working culture without any worries.

ERP berbasis cloud5 Kelebihan Menggunakan ERP Berbasis Cloud

 

Dengan ERP konvensional yang diterapkan bisnis Anda saat ini, apakah Anda yakin bisnis tetap akan berjalan dengan optimal?

Seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi digital, banyak bisnis kini didorong untuk melakukan beragam inovasi. Salah satu cara yang banyak digunakan bisnis untuk bisa mencapai hal tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan ERP.

Secara istilah, Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) merupakan sebuah sistem yang berfungsi untuk mengelola dan mengintegrasikan sumber daya serta kegiatan bisnis perusahaan, seperti keuangan, produksi, hingga hal-hal lainnya. Bagi perusahaan yang telah menerapkan sistem ERP, pastinya memonitor operasional bisnis terasa jauh lebih cepat dan mudah. Tidak hanya itu, sistem perusahaan pun lebih tertata dengan rapi bila dibandingkan dengan sistem manual. Sehingga, tak mengherankan jika ERP semakin diminati di masa kini.

Meski memiliki beragam keuntungan tersebut, nyatanya ERP konvensional juga mampu mendatangkan tantangan tersendiri bagi pengusaha. Tantangan tersebut dapat melibatkan investasi dalam hal pemeliharaan infrastruktur IT, seperti kebutuhan hardware, software, hingga sumber daya IT seperti administrator sistem dan database, network engineer, hingga operator entri data. Akibat dari hal ini, tak sedikit pula bisnis yang harus mengeluarkan anggaran cukup besar untuk kebutuhan pemeliharaan dan upgradasi sistem. Jika bisnis Anda menggunakan ERP konvensional, Anda pastinya tidak ingin kan masalah tersebut terjadi kepada perusahaan?

Dari pada harus berkutat dengan kendala teknis yang umum, ada baiknya bisnis mulai mempertimbangkan ERP berbasis cloud. Berbeda dengan ERP konvensional yang sistemnya harus diterapkan pada on-premise, sistem ERP berbasis cloud lebih fleksibel karena kapasitas server dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan. Sehingga, memungkinkan bisnis untuk melakukan integrasi secara fleksibel dengan menggunakan perangkat apapun selama tersambung dengan internet. Di samping itu, ERP berbasis cloud juga memiliki beragam keuntungan yang perlu dipertimbangkan bisnis. Simak di antaranya berikut ini:

1. Menekan Biaya Modal

Bila dibandingkan dengan ERP konvensional, ERP berbasis cloud membutuhkan biaya modal yang lebih rendah. Hal ini dapat terjadi mengingat Anda tidak perlu lagi membeli dan melakukan pemeliharaan server atau perangkat keras agar bisa mendukung ERP bisnis. Selain itu, Anda juga bisa mengesampingan biaya operasional perusahaan untuk kebutuhan bisnis yang lebih penting.

2. Mengurangi ketergantungan sumber daya IT

Bisnis yang menggunakan ERP konvensional pastinya akan lebih banyak membutuhkan sumber daya untuk melakukan pemeliharaan dan maintenance infrastruktur IT. Jika terus dibiarkan, perusahaan akan terus mengeluarkan anggaran yang besar demi memenuhi ketergantungan sumber daya IT.

Namun jika bisnis Anda menggunakan ERP berbasis cloud, Anda tidak perlu lagi mengkhawatirkan hal tersebut.  Sebab, dengan teknologi satu ini perusahaan dapat lebih menghemat biaya operasionalnya. Selain itu, tim IT Anda juga dapat lebih berfokus pada tugas-tugas lain yang lebih kompleks dan menguntungkan bisnis.

3. Dapat diakses secara fleksibel

Di masa pandemi COVID-19 seperti saat ini, bekerja dari rumah (work from home, WFH)  tentu sangat disarankan untuk berbagai sektor industri, termasuk dunia bisnis. Demi memudahkan hal tersebut, ERP berbasis cloud bisa menjadi salah satu solusi agar bisnis mampu memantau seluruh operasionalnya dari mana pun dan dalam waktu apapun. Tak hanya itu, dengan karakter yang fleksibel, ERP berbasis cloud juga memudahkan perusahaan untuk menghasilkan berbagai laporan bisnis dengan mudah dengan tepat waktu di masa seperti sekarang.

4. Skalabilitas ERP Dapat Disesuaikan Dengan Kebutuhan Bisnis

Demi memenuhi tuntutan perubahan bisnis Anda, pastinya Anda perlu menyesuaikan skalabilitas ERP sesuai dengan kebutuhan perusahaan. ERP berbasis cloud bisa membantu bisnis Anda mencapai hal tersebut. Dengan teknologi satu ini, bisnis dapat menurunkan maupun meningkatkan skalabilitas ERP kapan pun diperlukan.

5. Data tersimpan lebih aman

Sadarkah Anda? Menjalankan ERP konvensional sebenarnya lebih berisiko terjadi kehilangan data. Hal ini dapat dikatakan mengingat data tersebut lebih banyak disimpan di flash drive atau PC yang rentan terjerat pelaku kejahatan siber.

Untuk menghindari hal tersebut, ERP berbasis cloud bisa menjadi pilihan bagi bisnis Anda. Sebab pada cloud, fitur keamanan firewall mampu melindungi bisnis dari traffic yang berbahaya, seperti virus dan serangan hacker. Tak hanya itu, layanan cloud juga menyediakan sistem keamanan Two-Factor Authentication demi melindungi bisnis dari pengguna yang tidak dikenal dan memaksa masuk ke sistem Anda. Sehingga, data dapat lebih tersimpan dengan aman.

Di Zettagrid, kami dapat membantu bisnis Anda untuk mencapai efisiensi IT dengan memigrasikan sistem ERP Anda ke cloud. Tidak perlu khawatir mengenai sistem keamanan, karena Zettagrid telah menyediakan sistem keamanan firewall berlapis yang mampu melindungi sistem ERP bisnis Anda. Jika Anda memiliki pertanyaan lebih lanjut, Anda bisa mendisukikannya bersama kami di sini atau ke sales@zettagrid.id.

technology trends 20213 Technology Trends That Will Drive 2021

 

As pandemic spread in 2020, it has brought us to the uncertain situation and unpredictable years. Although it happened, most of you definitely will remember it as the year where the connection with family, friends, and even works is crucial to be maintained.

Fortunately, technology is here to make us stay connected with others in this pandemic. With technology, people, and even business is easier to enabling collaboration with each other. But, what kind of technology that made us going as we migrated to working at home? And how technology will go in 2021?

In this article, we’ve compiled predictions from The Drum about three technology trends that will drive 2021. Read them below for further:

1. Blockchain

It’s taken a long time for blockchain to shift center stage, but as people increasingly trust algorithms, which it’s based, it’s time has come. Decentralized finance will continue to grow over the next few years because of the increased demand for online financial products, but it will need to continually address the balance between decentralization, security, and scalability.

2. Customer Learning Experience

Attracting and educating customers on the benefits of specific products and features has required a digital-first approach, with e-commerce solutions integrating video, webchat, and even augmented reality. For complex products that require training, including consumer electronics, automotive, and software, companies are investing in Learning Management Systems (LMS).

These LMS solutions allow businesses to create custom-branded courseware, training programs, documentation, and video guides to deliver complete digital learning experiences. And with big data and analytics, companies can implement in-depth tracking of customers on their learning journeys to rapidly gain insights and improve their offerings.

 3. Cloud based-tech

With the rise in e-commerce, The Drum is seeing cloud-based platforms pushed and their full potential through 2021 and beyond. Cloud-native technology will continue to power digital transformation: by the end of 2021, 60% of companies will leverage containers on public cloud platforms and 25% of developers will leverage serverless, according to predictions from ForresterNow Predictions 2021: Cloud Computing report.
