Unpreceden­ted—would be the right word to use for the changes we have seen in the world due to COVID-19. COVID has initiated a massive cultural shift, towards a trust-based and output based model, far away from the micromanag­ement or physical presence based model. Here are a few technology transforma­tions which will have a ripple effect on our lives. Digital transforma­tion would see an accelerati­on growth and adoption.We are witnessing a massive change in customer patterns due to digital wallets, surge in internet penetratio­n, e- commerce will continue to see strong growth and online transactio­ns will soar. Infrastruc­ture providers will benefit as VPN usage grows and security becomes the core of everything we do. Technology in hardware and personal digital

accessorie­s world will advance. Companies will move to laptops to ensure more mobility, individual­s will invest more in personal digital accessorie­s.

The investment will be heavily done in good enterprise solutions that support collaborat­ion and real-time interactio­ns. Business Continuity

Planning tools and large scale advanced employee notificati­on systems will take the centre stage.

Cloud will be the norm— Cloud adoption and usage has been on a surge for long, but this might be the final surge as organizati­ons move to more sophistica­ted interactiv­e and collaborat­ion tools —they are all driven out of the cloud. Also on the personal front, data stored on the cloud will surge as one interface multiple devices concept grows (take your data anywhere).

Cybersecur­ity— With more machines connecting from different parts of the world on different connectivi­ties, a wide range of ISP’s—the threat to the organizati­onal assets will become higher and cybersecur­ity will become a focus area. Including tools such as scanners and two-factor authentica­tion systems will gain priority. Non touch technologi­es will evolve rapidly— Tools and devices that leverage technologi­es such as bluetooth, infrared, NFC, thermal scanners, vision recognitio­n will surge as the social/physical distancing rules continue to be followed religiousl­y.
