\"Christoph<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 has had an era-defining impact on both our personal and professional lives. The acceleration of remote working has seen businesses of all sizes turn to technology to meet a new distributed workforce’s needs and maintain operational efficiency. While 2020 produced few new technological or business developments, it certainly accelerated many technology trends already in motion. In 2021, we\u2019ll see these trends continue to take off at speed, with new internet-of-things (IoT) applications, technologies, and solutions reaching every sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote business will open up new, unexpected use cases for wearables and mixed realities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unprecedented working environment created by the pandemic has propelled\u00a0technologies like assisted reality (AR) forward beyond proofs of concept, opening up new, perhaps less obvious, cases and demonstrating the potential of wearables in driving collaboration amongst remote teams. Smart glasses provide a vehicle for interactive remote communication through document retrieval, workflow instructions, and real-time data capture \u2013 bringing people face-to-face, so to speak. COVID-19 has provided a unique opportunity for business leaders to re-assess and re-imagine their need for a traditional four-walled office, paving the way for 2021 to be the year that digitally savvy businesses double down on smart technologies to enable the remote business. We\u2019ll even see businesses that have not yet imagined using wearables start to experiment with the technology.\u00a0\u00a0According to PWC, in the UAE alone, AR and VR technologies could\u00a0contribute over $4 billion to the local economy by 2030<\/a>, equivalent to 1% of GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile edge computing will reach more sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edge computing has continued to gain significant traction in recent years, yet it\u2019s this coming year that we\u2019ll finally see where this technology can bring real benefits.\u00a0\u00a0While public 5G is still years away from mainstream adoption,\u00a0Forrester sees immediate value in private 5G<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a network dedicated to a specific business or locale like a warehouse, shipyard, or factory. This technology is here now and is ready to drive edge computing in 2021. The evolution of 5G and mobile edge computing technology will also provide a platform for enterprise wearable technologies to really come to the fore. Smart glasses allow field workers to carry out tasks hands-free while still having access to the information and tools they need. With mobile edge computing solutions acting as the gateway, smart glasses are a natural next step and close to becoming mainstream for frontline and field-based workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Oil and Gas sector, forecast to be $304 Billion in GDP in 2030 in the GCC, which needs a digital transformation to rapidly transform and optimize processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiencies.\u00a0\u00a0Advancements in 5G and edge computing capabilities, coupled with data analytics\/AI, will be massively beneficial for robotics, enabling the use of augmented and virtual reality, IoT, remote processing, and automation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 will bring quicker proof of concept to roll out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we\u2019ve seen businesses pivot to deal with many changes in the face of COVID-19. Governments across the MENA region have taken decisive action to improve broadband networks and services and improve e-learning platforms to ensure continuity of economic and social activities.\u00a0A fifth of businesses\u00a0has dialed up investment in digital transformation initiatives, with many making the impossible happen overnight or taking decisions in a matter of days rather than months. In this extraordinary time, businesses have learned how to adapt and progress more quickly than ever expected. As we move into 2021 and beyond, we expect this trend to come with us as businesses continue at an accelerated rate of learning. While proof of concepts for new technologies will be much quicker from experimentation to roll out phases, businesses will need to keep an eye on three key factors: data security, scalability, and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 has highlighted the need for accelerated automation in 2021  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, 2021 will see a new and changing workplace, and technology will be needed to support it. Automation has been on the business agenda for years now. Still, as social distancing rules remain in place going into 2021, automation and robotics will likely become the core competence of multiple sectors in the foreseeable future.\u00a0\u00a0However, to push out automation during the pandemic, many businesses have found themselves patching failures that have arisen since. In 2021,\u00a0Forrester predicts that up to 30<\/a>\u00a0percent\u00a0of businesses will ramp up their\u00a0focus on quality by better planning and testing their automation before deploying it in production or exposing it to employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IoT in healthcare will continue to increase, but not without stumbling blocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0global IoT healthcare market is expected to grow to $188 billion by 2025<\/a>, at an annual rate of 21 percent. While IoT in the medical sector has been on prediction lists for some years now, it will renew importance in 2021. Several people stayed home in 2020, leaving long-term illnesses untreated. In 2021, the rise of telemedicine and remote diagnosis will see healthcare professionals able to proactively monitor, support, and provide care for these patients\u2019 health at home. Consumer interest in wearable health devices, such as ECG and blood pressure monitors, will accelerate as patients appreciate the insight into their own health and the ability to share data with their doctor remotely for an instant health evaluation. That said, IoT infrastructure, a lack of industry expertise, and security will remain a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve undoubtedly seen impressive uptake of technology over the past year, as businesses have turned to sophisticated tools to stabilize themselves. As we enter 2021, and businesses look to establish themselves in the next \u201cnormal,\u201d it\u2019s likely that we\u2019ll continue learning and innovating at an accelerated pace. Now, more than ever, we will see technology transform businesses in almost every sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
