Five technology trends are poised to transform the future of work beginning in 2020, DXC Technology announced as part of an annual forecast. The rapid adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) coupled with trusted data ecosystems, empowered interconnected teams and tech-evangelist leaders promises to produce new levels of workforce efficiency, productivity and growth across enterprises. "In turn, CEOs will seek to identify and pursue ecosystem-centric business models and trading partners that deploy trusted and compliant data-sharing practices." "The notion of accelerated productivity will force enterprises to rethink their technology decisions and investments across the enterprise technology stack, which, in turn, will drive a sea change in how enterprises are led and structured, make informed decisions and engage employees and customers," said Dan Hushon, senior vice president and chief technology officer, DXC. "Tech-evangelist leaders will define new interactions between AI and people to create high-performing teams and shape digital strategies that unlock an organization's full potential – securely and confidently modernizing applications, optimizing data architectures and moving workloads to the cloud to produce new and better business outcomes."

The pervasive use of AI and ML in business is revolutionizing professions such as legal, accounting, healthcare and education by democratizing access to data and expert services.

Business transformations across industries will gain rapid momentum in 2019, helping organizations operate more efficiently, open to new markets and customer experiences, improve business outcomes, and reinvest savings for the digital future, according to a recent DXC Technology report. "In 2019, enterprises will make more aligned, bet-the-company, execution decisions to accelerate digital business," Dan Hushon, CTO of DXC Technology, wrote in the report. "Expect to see new businesses, business models and technologies built from digital." Business and IT teams must create a unified digital strategy to best address legacy technology limitations that may be holding companies back from digitally transforming, Hushon wrote. "It's all about focusing, accelerating digital transformation, having the stamina to succeed and achieving non-linear growth," he added.
