Business Users and Developers Are the Main Opportunities for AI PCs
AI is coming to the PC, but Apple and NVIDIA already have a lock on creative and gaming users, says a new Omdia report.
As digitally-fueled disruptors continue to roil and reshape businesses and industries, the clear mandate for every enterprise is to reimagine and reconstruct itself to compete in the increasingly digital economy that's platform powered and ecosystem enabled, according to IDC.
According to the new report, lines are being drawn in the sand, separating industry laggards from "digital-native enterprises" that can harness the power of technology to multiply innovation and accelerate their businesses' appetite for transformation. In the context of continuous emergence, IDC asserts enterprise technology environments must adapt at accelerated pace to the scale, scope, and speed of digital transformation.
Serge Findling, vice president of Research for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP) notes, "For CIOs and senior information and technology (IT) executives, the challenge is to think and operate like a digital-native enterprise in the face of the emergence of platforms, innovation accelerators, machine learning, augmented skills, micro-personalization, new partnerships, and new relationships. At the same time, change continues to move from linear to exponential and from evolving to episodic and unpredictable — requiring businesses to build digitally fueled adaptive processes, decision-making, and technology platforms to survive, let alone thrive.
The predictions from the IDC FutureScape for Worldwide CIO Agenda are:
"As the new digital economy emerges from disruption, CIOs are seeing their last opportunity to cross the digital divide and earn their right to play in the next phase," concluded Findling.
