Top 10 Tech Predictions For 2020 From IDC

IDC released today its worldwide IT industry predictions for 2020 in a webcast with Frank Gens, IDC's senior vice president and chief analyst. The focus for the 10 predictions for next year and beyond is the rise of the digital economy. By 2023, IDC predicts, over half (52%) of global GDP will be accounted for by digitally transformed enterprises. To drive digital supremacy, an enterprise must devote half of its budget to supporting digital innovation, establishing a large-scale, high-performing, digital innovation factories and a third-party ecosystem to produce digital products and provide fee-based wholesale digital services to other enterprise. The latter will be an entire new enterprise competency, similar to the management of Amazon's platform for third-party sellers.
