With a new year comes new challenges and focuses for the tech industry. And 2023 is no different; with the cost-of-living crisis hitting everyone, and sustainability at the forefront of most of our minds, how is the tech industry going to adapt? Experts predict that there will be a focus on cybersecurity, sustainability and automation, as well as streamlining the security process. We have spoken to a handful of our partners with Exertis about how they are approaching the upcoming year, and where their focus will be, so you know how you can future-proof your business with new tech. More and more organisations are adopting more sustainable options for their tech. Buy-back programs are becoming more popular, allowing the option to trade back outdated tech which can be recycled into new components. Or adopting a cloud-based server to reduce the amount of physical components needed. A hybrid working method is also popular with a lot of organisations who can offer it. Having the correct hardware in place to allow access for employees to critical internal information wherever they need to work from is a must. And providing the correct security for this process is also important.

Data breaches are incredibly dangerous and can be expensive, both for individuals and organisations. Keeping your cybersecurity solutions up to date with backups and recovery software can help to ease the damage caused by breaches, and to reduce the possibility of one happening at all. The use of cloud software and services for security or to perform tasks which would usually be done by large amounts of physical hardware is becoming more and more appealing. This method reduces cost, improves scalability, and allows for simple, easy data management. And there are many developments upcoming in the near future which manufacturers are preparing for now. Developments in new WiFi bands will see faster, more reliable and more consistent internet connection which will likely appeal to countless industries. Using DPUs in data centres is also becoming more common as fully programmable processors are able to offload and improve application performance with the use of AI. Even the way data is stored is developing, bringing new generations of pre-existing technology to continue to improve speed and reliability.
