IDC Top 10 Predictions For Worldwide IT, 2019

Calling the rapid digitization of competitors and industries a clock ticking loudly in the heads of every CEO, IDC advises enterprises that if they're not digitally transforming their companies at an aggressive pace, that by 2022, just over two-thirds of their total addressable markets will be gone. Nothing short of a wholesale reinvention of enterprises' digital innovation capabilities is needed. These and many other insights are from IDC FutureScape: Worldwide IT Industry 2019 Predictions, the research and advisory firms' top 10 predictions and key drivers for the IT industry over the next five years. IDC often ranks their predictions by cost/complexity to address and prediction timing. IDC believes the most effective organizations at digital transformation balance these two broad initiatives to deliver measurable financial results.
