Moving Towards a Smarter City
Growing Criticality of Smart Cities
| • | Smart cities is fast becoming one of the world’s most critical industries as more nations invest in technologies to improve the delivery of government services. |
| • | IDC estimates that spending for technologies that enable smart cities will grow to $135 billion in 2021. This includes investment in sensors, infrastructure to support big data, and other technologies. |
| • | Technology disruptions will impact transportation, law enforcement, and public safety, among others with greater focus on customer experience. |
The Rise of the No-Collar Workforce
| • | As technology adoption of big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) matures, governments will turn to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics in their technology initiatives. |
| • | These trends will enable the no-collar workforce – the increased use of cognitive assets, bots and other technologies to support the existing workforce. |
| • | Instead of replacing people, technology will augment the existing labor force in the drive to become a sustainable, hyperconnected society. |
Security in Paramount
| • | With increasing reliance on IT, spotlight will now turn to ensuring the integrity and security of personal data that’s being collected by different government agencies. |
| • | Investments on hardware and software protection against cybercrimes will become a priority. |
| • | Governments must rethink their strategy to include data sovereignty and protection as among their e-governance initiatives. |
