PRESENTED BY

The Future Enterprise is IDC ’ s vision for how firms must organise and invest to participate in increasingly digital-focused markets . Organisations , however , will have to master nine competencies to become a Future Enterprise . Our current Digital Transformation research shows that nearly half of all companies now have long-term digital strategies that form the basis for an end state that incorporates empathy , intelligence , resiliency , and empowerment at scale .

This InfoBrief describes the role that Intelligent Automation and Operations Technologies can play in how organisations become the Future Enterprise .
IDC Predicts : The Future Enterprise
By 2022 : 75 % of enterprises will embed Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) into customer-facing technologies and processes using AI-based software to discover operational and experiential insights to guide innovation .
Agile Everywhere : DevOps methodologies and teams now play a large role in meeting digital innovation targets .
From Processing to Sensing : New computer models sense-compute act as opposed to input process-output . Data pipeline management is key to making this happen .
Intelligent Automation : From IT operations to business processes , intelligence in automation will help orchestrate data and actions to achieve real business outcomes .
Rising Expectations Around Experience : More convenience , customisation and control on how tasks and work gets done .
Economies of Intelligence : AI , human , and organisational ‘ learning ’ fuels asymmetric advantage as data assets increase in value and not just volume .
