Accenture’s Technology Vision 2022 – What MSPs can use

So, Accenture has released its Technology Vision 2022.   Let’s look at their “five forces that shape how companies invest in technology.”  Here we go, quote. 

1. Total enterprise reinvention: The research believes most companies are only at 20%-30% through their digital transformation initiatives. The next 70-80% of digital transformation will take the next decade. This is not about technology only, but it incorporates the transformation of the enterprise, including its business model, which is how an organization makes money.
2. Talent: The market for technology and specialized skills will not change. The specialized talent will be a precious commodity through the next decade. Talent creators will do better. 
3. Sustainability: Only 6% of companies have linked their sustainability and technology strategies together. This is a massive mistake. Technology is not just a measuring tool for sustainability. Technology is the answer to sustainability problems, so the strategies must be linked together. 
4. Metaverse: The 2022 Accenture Technology Vision report titled ‘Meet Me in the Metaverse’ highlights the Metaverse continuum. The Metaverse will reshape the enterprise. Metaverse development will create use cases unimaginable today. Accenture, in 2022, will onboard 150,000 employees on their Metaverse called ‘.’ 
5. Ongoing Tech Revolution: IT and digital will infuse the sciences into how companies will transform in the future. The revolution will include the combined use of edge computing, AI, cloud computing, blockchain, Web3, the internet of things, and immersive technologies like augmented and virtual realities. 

Why do we care?

I disagree on the Metaverse, but hey, you do you, so I present the whole thing for you to make those calls.      I think most providers should focus on those categories of enterprise reinvention and tech revolution.     Right now, it’s that work in reinvention slash digital transformation slash call it modern work.      

If you’re in the business of helping customers transform the way they make money… well, there’s no better business than that.
