Worldwide government IT spending is forecast to total $565.7 billion in 2022, an increase of 5% from 2021, according to Gartner, Inc. Government IT spending in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will total $13.3 billion in 2022, growing 1.8% from 2021.

“The last few years of enduring pandemic challenges have mobilized a wave of digital transformation activities in government organizations across the world,” said Daniel Snyder, director analyst at Gartner. “Governments are executing innovative activities by harnessing technology to streamline digital services, advance automation processes and evolve citizen experiences.”

In 2022, government IT spending is forecast to increase across all segments except internal services and telecom services. Continuing the trend from 2021, software is forecast to record the strongest growth across all segments in 2022. As legacy modernization continues to be a priority in government organizations, growth in the data center systems segment will continue to slow though the forecast period (see Table 1).

Governments continue to invest in critical application software that directly support end user interfaces driving strong growth in this segment. Spending on telecom services is set to decrease in 2022 as governments reduce spending on expensive legacy systems in favor of digital service delivery models.

“MENA governments will continue to increase their spending towards digitalization efforts in 2022,” said Apeksha Kaushik, principal analyst at Gartner. 2022 will be a pivotal year for CIOs as they strive to make public services more agile, resilient and responsive. The need to optimize and modernize government business processes and services remains as great as ever.

At the same time, the focus on delivering citizen centric service delivery has increased. Therefore it is not just about having better or smarter technology, but how you design the experience. Connecting the two ensures easier access to service activities for citizens/constituents, greater visibility to what they need, and gives the organization more insights to increase satisfaction for employees. A key component is understanding time scarcity and ensuring higher ROI for each action taken.

Anything-as-a-Service Model Emerges as Pay-As-You-Use Gains Momentum

Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) is gaining popularity across government organizations as it provides better return on investment normalizing IT spend over time making budgeting for IT more predictable, while avoiding the accrual of technical debt. Gartner predicts that by 2026, most government agencies’ new IT investments will be made in XaaS solutions.

“The pandemic sped up public-sector adoption of cloud solutions and the XaaS model for accelerated legacy modernization and new service implementations,” said Snyder. “Fifty-four percent of government CIOs responding to the 2022 Gartner CIO Survey indicated that they expect to allocate additional funding to cloud platforms in 2022, while 35% will decrease investments in legacy infrastructure and data center technologies.”

The widespread use will enable more digitalization of services and building trust for adoption of digital government services. Adoption of government platforms has been seen as a means of sharing information and enhancing citizen inclusion and digital equity. Governments are integrating services in the form of mobile apps and moving with Total experience strategy to create seamless citizen/constituent experience that encourage digital transactions specially across the financial and health sectors.

With the ongoing talent challenges facing organizations, XaaS makes it easier for government organizations to find the right talent via XaaS operating models. XaaS delivery models require different internal IT skill sets and place less demand on the organization to develop or acquire emerging IT skills, which are often hard to find and difficult for governments to afford.

Global semiconductor revenue is projected to grow 7.4% in 2022, down from 2021 growth of 26.3%, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc. This is down from the previous quarter’s forecast of 13.6% growth in 2022.

“Although chip shortages are abating, the global semiconductor market is entering a period of weakness, which will persist through 2023 when semiconductor revenue is projected to decline 2.5%,” said Richard Gordon, Practice VP at Gartner. “We are already seeing weakness in semiconductor end markets, especially those exposed to consumer spending. Rising inflation, taxes and interest rates, together with higher energy and fuel costs, are putting pressure on consumer disposable income. This is affecting spending on electronic products such as PCs and smartphones.”

Overall, 2022 global semiconductor revenue has been reduced from the previous quarter’s forecast by $36.7 billion, to $639.2 billion, as economic conditions are expected to worsen through the year (see Table 1). Memory demand and pricing have softened, especially in consumer-related areas like PCs and smartphones, which will help lead the slowdown in growth.

Table 1. Semiconductor Revenue Forecast, Worldwide, 2021-2023 (Millions of U.S. Dollars)

PC shipments are set to decline by 13.1% in 2022 after recording growth in 2020 and 2021. Semiconductor revenue from PCs is estimated to record a decline of 5.4% in 2022. Semiconductor revenue from smartphones is on pace to slow to 3.1% growth in 2022, compared to 24.5% growth in 2021.

From an enterprise perspective, inventories are recovering rapidly, lead times are beginning to shorten, and prices are starting to weaken.

“The semiconductor market is entering an industry down cycle, which is not new, and has happened many times before,” said Gordon. “While the consumer space will slow down, semiconductor revenue from the data center market will remain resilient for longer (20% growth in 2022) due to continued cloud infrastructure investment. In addition, the automotive electronics segment will continue to record double-digit growth over the next three years as semiconductor content per vehicle will increase due to the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles. The semiconductor content per vehicle is projected to increase from $712 in 2022 to $931 in 2025.”

Global robotic process automation (RPA) software revenue is projected to reach $2.9 billion in 2022, an increase of 19.5% from 2021, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc.

“By achieving a growth rate of 31% in 2021, the RPA market grew well above the average worldwide software market growth rate of 16%,” said Cathy Tornbohm, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner. “Organisations are leveraging RPA to accelerate business process automation initiatives and digital transformation plans, linking their legacy nightmares to their digital dreams to improve operational efficiency.”

Although growing at a slower pace than previous years, the worldwide RPA software market is projected to continue to experience double-digit growth in 2023, growing 17.5% year over year (see Table 1).

RPA continues to be an attractive and high-growth market with vendors rapidly evolving their RPA offerings into a broader automation platform with embedded hyperautomation capabilities. As a starting point towards hyperautomation, organizations will increase their spending on RPA software solutions because they still have a lot of repetitive, manual work that through automation could free up employees’ time to focus on more strategic work.

“Competitive RPA vendors and many software vendors are pushing beyond a traditional single technology-focused offering to a more advanced suite of tools that encompasses low-code application platforms, process mining, task mining, decision modelling, iPaaS, computer vision, and IDP capabilities on top of their existing RPA offering. This allows them to offer, or rather makes them poised to offer, an all-encompassing hyperautomation-enabling technology platform,” said Varsha Mehta, senior market research specialist at Gartner.

In fact, Gartner predicts that through 2024, the drive toward a state of hyperautomation will drive organisations to adopt at least three out of the 20 process-agnostic types of software that enable hyperautomation.

Regional Perspective

North America, Western Europe and Japan together are on pace to account for 77% of global RPA revenue market in 2022. North America will account for the largest revenue share at 48.5%, followed by Western Europe and Japan at 19% and 10%, respectively.

Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) and low-code application platform (LCAP) will climb the Plateau of Productivity in less than two years, according to the Gartner, Inc. Hype Cycle for Cloud Platform Services, 2022.

The Plateau of Productivity highlights technologies where the real-world benefits of the technologies are demonstrated and accepted. Growing numbers of organisations feel comfortable with the reduced levels of risk, and the rapid growth phase of adoption begins (see Figure 1).

“The shift to the cloud is boosting growth in the iPaaS market,” said Yefim Natis, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner. “iPaaS has moved to early mainstream adoption globally, reaching 20% to 50% of the global target audience who will use iPaaS offerings to integrate not only applications and data, but also ecosystems, APIs, and business processes.”

Worldwide iPaas end user spending is projected to total $5.6 billion in 2022, up 18.5% from 2021. Overall, global public cloud services spending is projected to total $498 billion in 2022, an increase of 21% year-over-year.

Figure 1: Hype Cycle for Cloud Platform Services, 2022

iPaaS not only attracts large organisations, but also midsize and small organisations with its ease of access, versatility, and low initial cost. “Organisations choose iPaaS to support rapid integration and automation of SaaS applications with other SaaS and on-premise applications and data sources. More recently organisations are increasingly replacing classic integration platforms, that are now considered too expensive and complex for modern integration delivery practices,” said Natis.

Increase in Enterprise Adoption and Usage of Enterprise LCAPs

LCAP has moved to mainstream maturity globally, reaching more than 50% of the global target audience. Gartner analysts estimate that the LCAP revenue market will total $7.4 billion in 2022, an increase of 28.4% year over year.

As organisations need to be more agile and adaptive many complement centralized application investments with owning their own application development and analytics skills and tools. The increasing business appetite for technology self-service results in the rapid growth and increasing maturity of low-code platform technologies.

LCAPs have also emerged as a key component of successful hyperautomation because low-code development tools are among the tools used to support automation initiatives such as digitization of records. “In the context of the increasing demand for fast business change, LCAPs provide organisations an opportunity for accelerated digital innovation,” said Natis.

Gartner forecasts that by 2024, hyperautomation functionality will be the dominant competitive differentiator among low-code development tools.

The 25 emerging technologies to watch on the Gartner, Inc. Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2022 are enabling the evolution and expansion of immersive experiences, accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) automation and optimising technologist delivery.

“Emerging technologies offer transformational potential for businesses, but CIOs and technology innovation leaders are challenged to scale digital capabilities while improving sustainability in the face of expanding resource constraints,” said Melissa Davis, VP analyst at Gartner. “It is essential that organisations cut through the noise surrounding emerging technologies to accelerate change by leveraging innovations that drive competitive differentiation and efficiency.”

The Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is unique among Gartner Hype Cycles because it identifies key insights from more than 2,000 technologies and applied frameworks that Gartner profiles each year into a succinct set of “must-know” emerging technologies and trends. These technologies and trends have potential to deliver a high degree of competitive advantage over the next two to 10 years (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2022

“All technologies on this Hype Cycle are at an early stage, but some are nascent and great uncertainty exists about how they will evolve. Such technologies present greater risks for deployment, but potentially greater benefits for early adopters who can assess and exploit them in line with their organisation’s ability to handle unproven technologies,” said Gary Olliffe, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner.

Three Themes of Emerging Technology Trends

Evolving and Expanding Immersive Experiences: The future of digital experience is immersive. A collection of emerging technologies supports such experiences through dynamic virtual representations, environments and ecosystems of customers and people, as well as new modes of user engagement. With these technologies, individuals can control their own identities and data and experience virtual ecosystems that can be integrated with digital currencies. These technologies help reach customers in new ways to strengthen or open new revenue streams.

The technologies to watch that deliver evolving and expanding immersive experiences are metaverse, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), super apps and Web3, decentralised identity, digital humans, digital twin of the customer and internal talent marketplaces.

Accelerated AI Automation: AI adoption is expanding as an integral part of products, services and solutions. This is accelerating the creation of specialised AI models that can be applied to automate model development, training and deployment. AI automation refocuses the role of humans in AI development, resulting in more accurate predictions and decisions and faster time to expected benefits.

The technologies that are supporting accelerated AI automation are autonomic systems, causal AI, foundation models, generative design AI and machine learning code generation.

Optimised Technologist Delivery: Successful digital businesses are built, not bought. A set of emerging technologies focuses on the product, service and solution builder communities, such as fusion teams, and the platforms they use. These technologies provide feedback and insight that optimise and accelerate product, service and solution delivery and increase sustainability of business operations.

The critical technologies that are optimising technologist delivery are augmented FinOps, cloud data ecosystems, cloud sustainability, computational storage, cybersecurity mesh architecture, data observability, dynamic risk governance, industry cloud platforms, minimum viable architecture, observability driven development, OpenTelemetry and platform engineering.

As it looks to cement its position as a pioneer in the $50 billion low-code market, Kissflow today unveiled its vision for seamless work management across all facets of the modern enterprise. The company has consolidated market-leading solutions across its portfolio – including its low-code, no-code, process automation, collaboration, and analytics offerings – to deliver a unified low-code/no-code work platform that enables enterprises to fast-track digital transformation.

Outlining how the current, fragmented approach to work software hinders the success of digital initiatives, Suresh Sambandam, CEO, Kissflow said, “The multitude of siloed work management tools has created a complex, disjointed digital ecosystem. A holistic digital transformation is impossible without an inclusive approach where business experts and IT teams can co-create.”

“With our new unified platform, we’re enabling Middle East enterprises to move away from this disconnected, tactical approach to productivity, and instead embrace a radically simple and effective IT paradigm that delivers an inclusive and unified experience to all enterprise users,” Sambandam added.

Kissflow’s new work platform consolidates capabilities for app development, process management, task management, case management, data management, integrations, analytics, and collaboration. It makes these easily consumable to end-users, teams, team managers, process experts, citizen developers and IT developers through the intuitive low-code, no-code model. This aligns with the company’s mission of democratising app development in the region to address the present and intensifying shortage of technical talent.

“Even as IT workloads skyrocket, the needs of over 500 million business users is being served by a pool of just 26 million developers. It is a concerning disparity that threatens to cripple digital transformation initiatives,” said Sambandam. “Low-code/no-code is the obvious solution as it enables business users to take control of their digital needs while IT leaders can continue providing a secure and scalable platform for digital growth. With 500 million business users becoming citizen developers, this will be the game-changer that will drive the future of work.”

While Kissflow has designed its unified work platform to be industry-agnostic, in the Middle East, the company will focus on driving the solution’s uptake by enterprises in the banking and finance, retail, oil and gas, logistics and supply chain, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.

A recent survey by Gartner, Inc. found that 80% of executives think automation can be applied to any business decision. As automation becomes embedded in digital business, the survey revealed how organizations are evolving their use of artificial intelligence (AI) as part of their automation strategies.

“The survey has shown that enterprises are shifting away from a purely tactical approach to AI and beginning to apply AI more strategically,” said Erick Brethenoux, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner. “For example, a third of organizations are applying AI across several business units, creating a stronger competitive differentiator by supporting decisions across business processes.”

The survey was conducted online from October through December 2021 among 699 respondents in the U.S., Germany and the U.K., at organizations who have deployed AI or intend to deploy AI within three years.

Gartner analysts are discussing the keys to successful AI implementations and barriers to AI operationalization during the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, taking place in Orlando through Wednesday.

Organizations Still Challenged to Move AI From Pilot to Production

The Gartner survey revealed that on average, 54% of AI projects make it from pilot to production. This is a slight increase from the Gartner 2019 AI in Organizations Survey, which reported an average of 53% of AI projects that make it to production.

“Scaling AI continues to be a significant challenge,” said Frances Karamouzis, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner. “Organizations still struggle to connect the algorithms they are building to a business value proposition, which makes it difficult for IT and business leadership to justify the investment it requires to operationalize models.”

Forty percent of organizations surveyed indicated that they have thousands of AI models deployed. This creates governance complexity for the organization, further challenging data and analytics leaders’ ability to demonstrate return on investment from each model.

Talent Not a Significant Barrier to AI Adoption

While talent shortages are often assumed to impact AI initiatives, the survey found it is not a significant barrier to AI adoption. Seventy-two percent of executives reported that they have or can source the AI talent they need.

“The most successful organizations use a combination of in-house development and external hiring for AI talent. This ensures that the team renews itself continuously by learning new AI skills and techniques and considering new ideas from outside the organization,” said Brethenoux.

AI Security and Privacy Concerns Misplaced

Security and privacy concerns were not ranked as a top barrier to AI adoption, cited by just 3% of executives surveyed. Yet, 41% of organizations reported they have previously had a known AI privacy breach or security incident.

When asked which parties the organization was most worried about when it comes to AI security, 50% of respondents cited concerns about competitors, partners or other third parties, and 49% were concerned about malicious hackers. However, among organizations who have faced an AI security or privacy incident, 60% reported data compromise by an internal party.

“Organizations’ AI security concerns are often misplaced, given that most AI breaches are caused by insiders,” said Brethenoux. “While attack detection and prevention are important, AI security efforts should equally focus on minimizing human risk.”

More insights from the survey are available in the complimentary Gartner webinar, “The Gartner AI Survey Top 4 Findings.” Gartner clients can learn more in “TechWave: Artificial Intelligence Annual Survey Findings.”

With ever-increasing demand for faster delivery, the ongoing global supply chain disruption and rapid adoption of automation technologies, Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) has highlighted fast-emerging trends that are having significant and increasing impact on the warehouse and automation industry.

“Warehouse and distribution center operators are aggressively seeking ways to digitalize operations by adding automation technology and integrating those solutions with software systems,” said Roman Poludnev, General Manager of Safety and Productivity Solutions Middle East, Turkey and Africa.“The goal is to increase efficiency and create safer, more productive workplaces. As a result, we’re seeing some developing trends in the second half of the year that are going to significantly shape the way the warehousing and logistics sectors operate.”

The key trends that Honeywell believes will have substantial influence on warehouse and distribution center (DC) operations include:

Increasingly aggressive adoption of proven automation technologies

Moving into the second half of 2022, there is heightened interest in long-proven warehouse automation systems that pick, pack, sort and carry packages throughout the facility. There is also increasing research by end users into how to integrate this automation into warehouse software systems, such as warehouse management and warehouse control systems (WCS), to extract more value from automation.

Regardless of where companies currently sit on the automation spectrum, SKU proliferation, widely varying order profiles and seasonal demands are making some degree of automation a necessity. For many operations, order picking or putting are the entry point to digitalization and automation. For those further down the path, integrating these technologies into operations means trained coordination between workers, automated systems and software to drive high-speed, high-volume warehouse execution.

Newer forms of automation are being evaluated and adopted with increased urgency

There are also signals that newer forms of automation, such as robotic palletizing/depalletizing and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), are beginning a path toward significant adoption. AMRs provide significant productivity benefits by, for example, automating the movement of carts used to transport picked orders or returns. Instead of spending more than half the day walking, workers can park carts in pickup locations and call robots to retrieve them. Additionally, robotic palletizers and depalletizers limit the need for heavy and/or awkward lifting by humans.

The use of digital twins will accelerate to help automated warehouse planning

Digital twins deliver virtual representations of a physical environment –proving extremely helpful in the warehouse industry. With a digital twin, new automation technology can be tested virtually, without downtime or rearrangement of physical assets. Automation efforts can be tested, and impact can be reviewed. By using digital twins and synthetic data modeling, warehouse operators can close the loop between planning, training and implementation on the floor. With this technology, what used to equate to months of automation implementation can now be accomplished in days. In short, warehouse performance can be improved far more quickly and cost-effectively than in the past.

Accelerated dark warehouse research & development, forward-looking companies begin path

Dark warehouses promise to be nearly fully automated and autonomous, operating virtually free from human intervention – aside from planning, maintenance and ongoing optimization. They will operate 24/7/365 in no light (thus, the term dark warehouse) and in extremely cold or warm conditions, saving energy and related costs. They promise to help solve the labor shortage and drive incredible efficiency. However, full concepts are still at least two years away and live implementations are at least three years away. While breakthrough technologies in robotics, sensing and control, and IT are still needed, demand is now driving more aggressive R&D investment to achieve these breakthroughs faster.

Meanwhile, forward-looking warehouse operators are starting the journey to dark warehouse by not only putting automation piece parts in place as described above, but also tying technologies together via software, such as Warehouse Execution Systems, allowing all the technologies to communicate.

Operators will need to plan for that as well as determine what types of warehouses and industries are most appropriate for the early days of dark warehouses.

“These trends showcase a collective theme: automation is increasingly paving the way for better safety, productivity and workforce retention in the warehouse industry,” said Poludnev. “From what we see, the number of operators currently using automation technology and aggressively moving to expand it looks to be growing rapidly heading into the second half of 2022. These are smart investments to help ensure efficiency in operations and minimize the need for future capital expenditures.”

Anyone who has recently signed up with an online casino deposits and attempted to make their first deposit will tell you just how confusing the multitude of options can be. This article aims to cut through this confusion so as to make your entry into the world of online wolfwinner.com as simple and painless as possible.

As most of you no doubt are aware, the reason that online casinos deposits offer such a bewildering variety of deposit options is that the legality of gambling online varies from place to place, with different banks and credit card companies taking different stances towards the matter. But before we get to that we really ought to begin with currency. If you are depositing in anything other than u.s dollars then the deposit options open to you will almost certainly be different than those available to players depositing in us dollars.

That said, online casinos now support a variety of currencies and if your currency is represented then you are best served to deposit in this currency rather than dealing with unfavorable conversion charges each and every time you make a deposit. Players whose currencies are not represented will have to make do with even fewer options available to them, but this may even work in their favor due to the fact that banks and credit card companies are the least likely to permit withdrawals, or even deposits and withdrawals with their cards. As such if your credit card is not registered in one of these places you may find that you can use your cards without any problems.

Bear in mind that another reason credit cards are not the preferred payment options for online casinos is that casinos need to be able to withdraw, but also deposit funds regularly in their customers’ accounts, a practice that credit card companies tend to frown upon, much preferring one way transactions. You may find that the casino deposits you are registering with will accept your credit card, but stipulate that they will need to pay your winnings with an alternative method, such as issuing you with a paper.

Another method online casinos tend to favor is or electronic, many online casinos offer bonuses for using this method as they prefer it to credit and debit cards. This is exactly the same as a personal except the transaction is conducted electronically, so all you need supply is your routing number, account number and a casino deposits will bill you directly and also deposit funds directly into your account. For this method online casinos use third party processors who do the billing and depositing, regularly squaring these accounts with the best online casino canada. This is done because often banks where the casinos are registered are not willing to conduct business with gambling establishments so a third party is required. People are often wary of giving this sort of information out but it is generally safe. After all, those numbers appear on the bottom of each and every you issue, and think how many hands your paper passes through before a transaction is completed.

Poker is a game that as the passage of time passed had to get up to the new tendencies of society, its changes and therefore, the modern needs that they had to satisfy its fans. It is for this reason, that this traditional game of cards has been born centuries back and popularized and adapted with the passage of the year’s poker online to Internet australian online pokies giving birth of virtual platforms that allow one to enjoy it.

Despite this last time a new passage when adapting advanced the poker to the movable telephones, proposed in principle by the I-Play company, ordered the development of software for cellular. In them, it is possible to enjoy poker, and the improvement of its technique is allowed by the user. One of the mentioned applications calls “Poker”, and offers games under the modality “Texas Hold `member state”.

In order to play, the basic rules and procedures of this game are due to learn, at least, the values of the different letter combinations (poker hands), and the rules about the bet limits as well as to become familiar with the different objects that are used in the game.

Poker has managed to catch the attention of thousands of people who play in the rooms online where the great communities of users who are conglomerated in them, allow for constant challenges and games of much tension. Pages exist that allow playing free of charge and other games become by real money, by means of debit or credit cards. The modalities of poker make it very versatile and tempting at the time of being able to begin in this wonderful world.
