| | November 20186CIOReviewPlaced in the last few months of 2018, one can safely say that the year has been an eventful and remarkable year for IT services and the innovations around the space. Not only have we witnessed companies going digital and taking data-driven business decisions, there has been a steady innovation on the managed services front, taking IT services to the next level. But at the flipside, the year has also been a foundation for high profile breaches and malicious attacks, giving air to the fire spread by polymorphic threats, smart hackers, and unique malware variants. In 2018, there was an aggressive move to common IT platforms such that companies can be well-equipped to respond to market changes faster, be more productive and make better-informed decisions. These common platforms were rich in analytics, followed the information flow of the business and were at the same time, simple enough that users could constantly change the business. Moreover, the platforms brought an operational and evergreen scale to traditionally bespoke enterprise IT.2019 will witness an exponential rise to the technological applications, and with that, the challenge for IT organizations become more daunting. Unlike many of the emerging tools and systems--which demonstrate clear potential for impacting businesses in the next 18 to 24 months--exponentials can appear a bit smaller on the horizon. These are emerging technology forces that we think could manifest in a "horizon 3 to 5" timeframe. As companies will bulldoze outdated technology, they will also be safeguarding their infrastructure by investing more in a fundamental cornerstone--security.We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions in your IT Services endeavors in 2018 and beyond.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comEditorialThe New IT ParadigmCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
