2020 sets the stage for a decade of unprecedented changes. 2020 has been a year that saw the speed of change increase by factors no one could have expected back in January. Businesses pivoted literally from one day to the next like never before. Organizations set aside hesitations and made bold decisions focusing on innovative technologies and strategies to respond to the crisis. Having done it all year to ensure survival, we expect to see businesses continue to move fast and implement decisions at lightning speed.

In 2020, 45% of all IT automation technologies are in deployment with the remaining 55% in pilot.

IDC’s research says 65% of global GDP will be digitalized by 2022, driving $6.8 trillion of IT  spending from 2020 to 2023.
