Now that the year is almost coming to a close, it's worth it to take a look at the predictions made for next year. What are the trends on everyone's radar? what problems are we looking to solve, and how can Artificial Intelligence help us?

Even though there are many trends and many predictions, we will focus on four key points that are already important, but will gain even more recognition in 2019.

1. Artificial Intelligence
Big Data is still as relevant as ever, but most companies are sms gateway norway already aware of its benefits, and have teams dedicated to obtaining data and insights. If you are not using or focusing on Big Data, you are missing out. The focus next year will be what layers we can add to this, to continue basing business decisions on data, but also improving processes. As we covered in the LUCA Innovation Day, Artificial Intelligence will continue to be a point of focus, and a much talked about trend in 2019.

In survey conducted across the USA and Europe by IT marketplace Spiceworks, 76% of participants stated they believe Artificial Intelligence will benefit their work by automating mundane tasks that take up more of their time, and with this, help them focus on the strategic aspects of the business.

AI can help in a myriad of ways, including the ability to build improved algorithms, AI assistants, and in the medical industry; where AI can help predict a patients outcome (life or death) with 95% accuracy.

The challenge however, will be in making sure that a company and its team has necessary skills and resources to implement Artificial Intelligence, which only 20% of IT professionals believe that their organization has.

2. IT as a Service (ITaaS)
While many companies want to head in the direction of a digital transformation, some lack the budget to do so, and this prevents them from riding the latest technology waves. With the introduction of the IT as a Service model, the IT service provider delivers an information technology service to a business, without the hefty price tag.

ITaaS should not be confused with a technological shift, but a shift in the organizational and operational side. Using ITaaS will help companies undergo changes and migrations at a much quicker pace. According to Hewlett Packard Enterprises “ The vendor takes the day-to-day tasks off the plates of your IT staff, freeing them up to concentrate on projects that can generate revenue.” This model also helps companies scale up or down, adjusting their needs and their budget.
