Your IT Strategy For 2022

While we are going to leave 2021, the companies also adapt to survive this strange and volatile year. What may have worked well in the pre-pandemic era no longer works as well today. As we head into 2022, your IT team and strategy are probably the most important thing to your business. The IT aspect will continue to serve as the backbone and allow the companies to continue operating despite the disturbances, as many businesses continue to operate remotely. 

As a result, that means you will have to put a lot of effort into your IT planning for years ahead. Because whatever your kind of industries are running to, the digital environment will be a defining factor. So, what should you think in terms of your IT strategy?  Here are some suggestions for making the most of a year and to make sure you are on the right track. 

Rely On Cloud Computing

While employees are staying mostly at home, cloud computing is pivotal for keeping the work going. Cloud computing makes it possible for employees and business people to access important files, by using online word processing tools or online meeting tools to collaborate with colleagues. For example, IoT Managed SD-WAN will provide the companies to manage entire Corporate WANs simultaneously. It will significantly increase your business performance aspects, including agility and reliability, with simplicity and reduced cost.

Another thing is, using a comprehensive security solution, Telkomsel IoT Sphere will help the companies to protect your entire network, as well as incoming traffic from threats and exploits. With a secure business network, you can increase your productivity and business performance. So, as the pandemic wave is still an uncertain condition we must be faced with, cloud computing must be the vital part of your IT strategy for years ahead. 

Leverage 5G

In 2022, 5G will be spread more and used all over the place. Many cities across the world, including London, New York, Dubai, Jakarta and others are already offering it. So, what does this mean for businesses and companies? The one major opportunity is the development and improvement related to the Internet of Things (IoT). Thanks to the capacity and bandwidth improvement from 5G, the network in the future will accommodate more devices. This means devices are able to communicate with each other, with little time lags or disruptions. For example, Telkomsel IoT Smart Manufacturing takes the 5G advantages to utilize lower latency in factory production operations, opening up new opportunities to improve products and services as well. Of course to make this improvement possibly happen, it will rely on a solid IT infrastructure. 

Embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The power of AI can be a game-changer, helping you to resolve problems quickly. For example, Telkomsel IoT FleetSense uses AI-based telematics to increase vehicle safety from hard-to-predict surroundings. When the vehicle distance is less than the preset time threshold, this system alerts the driver, and the pedestrian detection system alerts the driver when pedestrians are close enough to the vehicle. With visual data and analytics, this technology creates a safer transportation system. These advantages and benefits, also impact the overall supply chain businesses, especially when it comes to safety procedures. 

With this fast-paced changing industry and a volatile year to live on, the companies need to respond and adapt to the situation quickly. Many companies have used cloud computing to provide working remotely and this change needs to rely on the leverage of 5G to ensure the success. Another thing is the companies slowly have to embrace the power of AI as the demand from customers are getting higher and higher. IoT products and services allow the companies to keep up with these changes. So, in order to ensure your companies are always on the right track, just contact our IoT experts.
