Digital Tech Trends: Internet of things, AI, Blockchain are 3 tech set to have a huge impact in 2019

Last year, we had the benefit of leaning on the recent findings of our inaugural Cycle of Progress digital transformation benchmark study to inform my predictions. This global survey examines global business leaders' hopes and fears about emerging technologies, and reveals which technologies they are actively implementing to drive the digital transformation of their business--versus which ones are yet to live up to the hype. Based on our findings, I see several technologies continuing to lead the way in 2019, namely Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. More than half (53%) of Cycle of Progress respondents say that they have adopted IoT in some shape or form so far. Already well established in many businesses, IoT applications and services are leading the pack in having the greatest positive impact.
