IDC predicts that by 2025, the cloud will overtake on-premises infrastructure as the primary location for 65% of A2000 organizations to store, manage and analyze operational data. IDC's Future of Operations Framework describes how organizations can improve their decision-making processes and efficiency by adopting data-driven operations (DDO). The central role cloud plays in DDO is reflected in data from IDC's 2022 Worldwide Future of Operations survey, which shows cloud technology as the top technology priority for organizations in Asia Pacific. Eighty percent of respondents said cloud is important or critical in terms of its ability to help organizations achieve operational excellence and resiliency. Other key technologies needed to enable efficient and optimized operations include robotics, mixed reality tools, edge computing, 5G and cybersecurity. Ten forecasts for cloud computing and other market operations in 2023: Cloud will surpass local infrastructure and reach 65% dominance.
"Organizations in Asia Pacific understand the need to invest in key technologies to enable data-driven operations. Organizations need new digital capabilities and must build foundational technologies such as cloud and next-generation connectivity," Rakesh Patni, Associate Research Director, Future Operations, IDC Asia Pacific explain.
“However, another important aspect that organizations cannot ignore is developing talent—either by hiring and partnering with service providers, or by upskilling and reskilling existing employees. Only by aligning talent and technology with the right Aligned with strategic strategies, organizations can achieve optimized and efficient operations. Future forecasts of operations reveal opportunities and act as signposts to help organizations in AP to digitally transform,” Patni added.
IDC's Top 10 Predictions for the Future of Operations to 2023 provide business leaders with guidance on how and where to implement and maintain data-driven operations:
#1. Sustainability of operations: By 2026, 40% of Asia 2000 (A2000) industrial organizations will make real-time decisions that balance economic and sustainability metrics, while improving both sets of metrics across the enterprise by 5%.
#2. Lifecycle carbon footprint: By 2026, 30% of product-centric organizations will use digital tools to measure lifecycle carbon footprint, requiring better integration of PLM and operational data.
#3. Talent from service providers: By 2024, talent shortages and pressure to improve operational performance will force organizations to reevaluate their digital transformation approaches to greater use of external services.
#4. XR/AR/VR in Operations: Use of Extended Reality technologies including AR/VR/MR tools to increase by 40% by 2027, creating a new generation of digital workers and reducing operator/field crew errors 30%
#5. Robotics and inspection: The use of robots in non-traditional areas, especially remote inspection and maintenance, will increase by 25% by 2027, resulting in a 40% reduction in inspection errors.
#6. 5G’s impact on operations: By 2024, digital-first operations enabled by 5G connectivity will improve worker safety, resulting in a 20% reduction in lost-time accidents.
#7. Satellite Edge in Operations: By 2027, 40% of remote operations will use satellite-enabled AI/ML technologies to collect and analyze data at the edge, reducing costs and increasing natural resource sector production and energy use.
#8. Cloud in Operations: By 2025, the cloud will surpass on-premises infrastructure as the primary location for storing, managing and analyzing operational data for 65% of A2000 organizations.
#9. Organizational Refactoring: By 2024, 30% of industrial organizations will be leaner and more agile than their competitors as real-time operational insights are available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
#10. Cybersecurity in Operations: By 2026, 40% of organizations will increase the use of IoT and OT cybersecurity solutions at the edge, halving OT cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
