2021: Gartner: In 3 years, 80% of IT products will be developed by non-IT specialists
In mid-June 2021, Gartner published a new report, according to which 80% of technology products and services will be created by non-professionals by 2024. This trend is due to the emergence of a new category of buyers who do not belong to traditional IT enterprises, which usually occupy a large share of the entire IT market.
 | Now the digital business is considered by leaders as a team sport and is no longer the exclusive prerogative of the IT department, "said Rajesh Kandaswamy, Gartner vice president of research. - The growth of digital data, the emergence of software development tools with low requirements for developer knowledge and code development using artificial intelligence (AI) are one of the many factors contributing to the democratization of the IT sphere, which is beginning to attract not only professionals in this field. |  |
The intrusion of technology into all areas of business and consumer experience creates a demand for products and services outside of IT departments. The needs of these customers are not always exactly in line with traditional suppliers. These trends have gained even greater momentum due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, which has only increased the overall number and variety of IT use cases. Gartner experts expect that in 2023 companies will receive about $30 billion in revenue from the sale of products and services that did not even exist before the pandemic.
Gartner analysts said the rapid expansion of cloud services, digital business initiatives and remote services opened the door to new opportunities in integration and optimization. As a result, more than a third of IT providers will compete with non-IT vendors by 2024. The COVID-19 crisis sharply reduced the minimum requirements for software developers, lowering the entry bar for laymen when creating technological solutions, which made it possible to quickly meet the needs caused by the pandemic. These participants include various employees of enterprises not directly engaged in the field of IT, amateur developers, data processing specialists, as well as artificial intelligence systems that create software without the participation of a programmer.
IT providers are increasingly entering markets where non-IT vendors, including innovative financial services and retail firms, already occupy an important niche. These companies are increasingly starting to build an IT solution on their own as more businesses are pursuing a digital transformation to successfully compete in a changing world.
Gartner expects that during 2021-2022, loud announcements will increasingly appear about the launch of new IT solutions from companies not directly related to technology.
| | Business technologists have become new sources of innovation that allow them to perform their tasks no less efficiently. Therefore, technology and IT service providers should look for new ideas and opportunities for innovation in new communities, be it amateur developers, customer communities or other sources, says Rajesh Kandaswami.[1] | |
2019:5 Forrester Software Development Forecasts for 2020
At the end of November 2019, Forrester analysts published a study in which they presented 5 forecasts in the field of software development for 2020. Experts expect the rapid development of the technology industry.
1. Maintenance grid: springboard for high value functions
A service grid is an infrastructure layer that manages communication between applications and is thought to improve reliability and make it easier to deploy multiple cloud services. Analysts expect that early on, the number of applications for service networks will grow, and they will become the basis for applications with more valuable features: for example, for data management.
2. Software developer will increasingly be directly involved in business development
According to analysts, developers will increasingly go beyond the IT environment and engage in business organization. Whether marketing, sales or manufacturing is concerned, the "diaspora of developers" will increasingly clearly use technology in managing companies. Stakeholders feel a growing need to build their own software capabilities rather than rely on outsourcing. After all, software is simply "too important to be left to individual IT companies," especially as advanced technology becomes absolutely essential to doing business.
3. Cloud market to consolidate with Kubernetes
Forrester notes that the cloud service provider market continues to consolidate. As leaders choose Kubernetes-based cloud platforms, they choose one or more of five cloud solution providers: Amazon, Google, IBM (+ RedHat), Microsoft and VMware (+ Pivotal). Conversely, several large corporate suppliers will be overboard due to the choice of another platform: Oracle, SAP, Salesforce and Alibaba.
For many years, the market has developed at a very rapid pace, and this is unlikely to change, analysts say. Consolidation will happen very quickly, as it passes with the help of investments of the five largest players, which have left small companies far behind.
4. The more important AI becomes, the better the testing tools will be.
The impending external pressure will force companies to rapidly develop technology. AI platform providers are expected to release even more platform testing solutions in 2020. AI This trend is due not only to the desire for increased efficiency. An enterprise can face serious problems due to faulty or poorly designed AI.
Developers will have to explain to customers exactly how their AI platforms make decisions. Testing will reduce risk when buying AI solutions. In addition, given the growing influence of AI, government agencies are likely to also begin to closely monitor AI tools in the coming years.
5. Microsoft will actively perform in the low-code market
The growth in the number of programmers without special education who develop applications based on ready-made modules is only beginning. The low-code approach is expected to play an important role in 2020.
Forrester expects Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate - Microsoft 's low-code enterprise platforms - to be used by more than 50% of developers as a major supplier by mid-2020. By the end of 2019, according to the annual survey of developers, 37% of application developers already use them.[2]
2017:9 thousand programmers are looking for in Finland
According to the Finnish Information Processing Association (TIVIA), Finland's urgent need for software developers with higher education is 9 thousand people. At the same time, it is predicted that by 2020 demand will increase to 15 thousand people, partly due to the retirement of existing specialists from the labor market. Read more here.
