Gartner’s top 10 tech trends for 2024 highlight desire to future-proof technology investments

Gartner is predicting that in 2024, companies will be exploring methods that will help ensure their investments are protected for years to come.

Every year the company puts together a list of 10 trends it believes will take hold in the tech industry in the following year.

This year, five of those trends fall into the category of protecting technology investments. According to Gartner, the key to achieve this protection is to be deliberate by stopping uncontrolled experimentation without sufficient direction, be realistic by calculating the ROI of projects, and tailor innovations with reuse in mind. 

Trends that align with this include AI Trust, Risk and Security Management; Continuous Threat Exposure Management; Industry Cloud Platforms; Sustainable Technology; and Democratized Generative AI.

The company grouped trends into two other categories as well: “Rise of the builders” and “Deliver the value.”

Gartner believes companies can unleash the creative power of everyone building software by developing a roadmap that allows nonspecialists to create applications, working closely with business stakeholders, and using technology that fits their industry, organizational needs, and specialist workers.

The trends that fit this theme include Platform Engineering, AI-Augmented Development, Industry Cloud Platforms, Intelligent Applications, Sustainable Technology, and Democratized Generative AI. 

Delivering value is the final theme, including the trends of Machine Customers, Augmented Connected Workforce, Intelligent Applications, Sustainable Technology, and Democratize Generative AI.

Gartner recommends organizations expand options for driving revenue by adjusting to changing internal and external customer demands, including approaches for algorithm-based customers, and facilitating across to evolving digital tools, such as those related to generative AI or upskilling. 

“Technology disruptions and socioeconomic uncertainties require a willingness to act boldly and strategically enhance resilience rather than rely on ad hoc responses,” said Bart Willemsen, VP analyst at Gartner. “IT leaders must ensure calculated risk, and make reliable and durable investments to sustainably enable both internal and external value creation.”

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
