tech and business predictions and expectations for 2022

In 2021, the original expectation of the whole world was that life could return to normal through the launch of a vaccine, but this idea was once again interrupted by uncertain factors.

Omicron allows the world to face a new wave of challenges, and at the same time, it also makes companies start to think about how to respond if they need to coexist with the virus for a long time. So, in 2022, we’ll have chances of seeing these things happening underneath.

1. More remote collaborative operation modes will appear
   IT vendors have promoted online conferencing software for many years in the past. In these days of the epidemic, there has been subversive growth. After breaking through this barrier, more technologies and tools for remote cooperation will emerge. besides, 5G and the artificial intelligence will make the future “cooperation” full of imagination. In the past, most remote collaborations were people-to-people collaborations – co-finishing a project, co-authoring an article, co-developing a piece of code, but in the future, AI tools in the cloud may also join to the collaboration. Become a virtual employee in the enterprise. Act as a real-time translator, secretary, or even a consultant to provide information or advice while meeting remotely online.

2. There will be changes in management methods, and the need for mid-level managers will be reduced
   Over the past year, companies have gradually realized that not all work has to be done in the office. Even if some employees are working from home, the proper use of information tools can also exert their output value. In the past, the practice of relying on middle-level managers for communication, coordination, or management of grass-roots personnel will face challenges. Enterprises will adopt more virtualized office environments, flatter organizations, fewer reporting layers, and more use of IT tools for direct communication, all of which will happen more dramatically in 2022. As a result, It will reduce the dependence of enterprises on middle-level managers, and the related workflow automation software tools will be paid more attention.

3. The implementation of enterprise automation and productivity tools will be accelerated
   Over the past few years, we have seen DevOps tools effectively automate the software development process with great success across industries. Due to the unstable situation of the epidemic, companies will need to introduce more similar process automation tools in different areas. In the past two years, global users’ demand for online conferencing software has increased significantly. If the epidemic continues, various process automation tools, remote collaboration tools, digital dashboard and performance management tools will become important support for enterprises to face challenges in the future.

The world has entered its second year in the face of Covid-19. In the past two years, whether it is the information industry or the entire society, it has suffered a considerable impact, AI and the virtual reality technology continues to develop rapidly. In 2022 , will have the opportunity to apply it in medical, education, psychological counseling and counseling and other scenarios. These will be our challenges and opportunities in the coming year.
