Digital Transformation is a leading force in today’s competitive market and a key factor in innovation. Over the globe, many businesses find that systems and technology are not allowing them to adapt well to those changes.

Today, every global company must understand technological development, accelerated change, and increased competitiveness in an international market. Lead companies to implement solutions for faster response to the customer, financial and human potential rising and better-arising challenges.

All prominent current trends are based on application development as a key factor in digital transformation and they are changing almost daily. What can we expect in the following years as technology becomes more accessible and user-friendly?

Some of the most prominent current trends are: Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Cybersecurity, Customer Experience, Data Analytics, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.

All that trends are based on application development as a key factor in digital transformation. However, trends in software development are changing almost daily, where the focus is on modeling business automation. The roles of business analysts, solution architects, PM leaders are becoming more important and demanding every day.

For the past few years, we have already witnessed the rapidly growing AI industry, so there are predictions that AI will take on a significant role in replacing the roles mentioned above by the end of this decade – with the possibility that AI will completely take over some roles.

The digital transformation of the banking, telecommunications, automotive, pharmaceutical, retail industries etc. is unstoppably moving towards increasingly complex models of predicting, processing the requests of customers/users/markets,…personalized adaptation to their needs leads us to the next chapter in software development where artificial intelligence becomes irreplaceable.

If we go back to 2010, will we remember the most significant leaps in consumer and business technology? That year, cloud computing was presented as a new era, enabling clients greater manageability, connectivity and mainstream with lower costs.

In the years since, technological progress moved on rapidly. Many automotive brands produce electric cars like Tesla and Rimac. Drones have become a part of our everyday and social media has evolved into a world-changing force.

Based on current trends and advancements, we can expect a fascinating era in the next ten years, as increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in software development. Greater adoption of low-code and no-code development platforms; as technology becomes more accessible and user-friendly. Increased focus on security and privacy: as software becomes more central to our lives, the need for secure and private software will become more important, with greater emphasis on security and privacy and for governments and regulatory bodies to impose stricter regulations and standards.

Greater use of cloud computing, with more software being developed and deployed on cloud platforms. Virtual and augmented reality are already used in some software applications, such as gaming and training simulations. We can expect this technology to become more mainstream and for more software applications to incorporate virtual and augmented reality.

Blockchain technology can potentially transform many industries, and software development is no exception.

However, we can expect an explosion of software application development.
