The beginning of the new year isn't just a great time for resolutions. As we enter 2019, many communication and technology vendors like Veritas are looking back at the innovations we've seen over the last year and using their expertise to shape predictions for the next 12 months.
Alex Sakaguchi, the Solutions Manager for Veritas, reached out to UC Today with his predictions regarding the upcoming changes we're bound to see over the following months, discussing everything from blockchain and data backups, to artificial intelligence.
Preparing for a Transformative Market
According to Sakaguchi, as we move through 2019, we will continue to see the technology market evolving to serve changing customer demands. Data and IT companies will need to collect and analyse vast volumes of data, while businesses begin to think about how they respond to the expectations of an ever-more-complex community.
One disruptive technology that Veritas believes we'll see more of in 2019 is Blockchain.
"The benefits that blockchain will bring to an organisation's security protocols are unparalleled."
Of course, Alex feels that there are more benefits to blockchain than its security potential. In 2019, Veritas believes that traditional backup options will begin to be replaced with hyper-converged solutions intended to eliminate the risks in the modern workforce.
Blockchain has plenty of potential for the recovery and backup market because it can connect various pieces of data, stored in a range of locations. As we proceed throughout 2019, Veritas feels that business leaders will need to keep third parties, the organisation and the user in mind when collecting and managing data. Just as organisations will need to use their data to access useful insights, individuals will need the option to remove their data according to GDPR standards.
