“In 2019, the most dominant theme would be one of technology continuity and technology maturity. We witnessed exciting new technologies emerge over the past few years, which CMR collectively terms as the ABCD-IR (AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data Analytics, IoT, and RPA) of technology. While these technologies overshadowed traditional IT, they are yet to gain widespread deployment, as many of them are still evolving.,” said Prabhu Ram, Head-Industry Intelligence Group, CyberMedia Research (CMR).

CMR’s Tech Trends Dossier provides a Heat Map of the most impactful technologies of 2019, right from the most widespread to the niche,” said Anil Chopra, VP-Research and Consulting, CMR.
