Enterprise Technology Outlook for 2023

At Guardian Computer, we have some key insights on the outlook for enterprise technology in 2023. One major factor is the potential for a recession. To navigate and even grow during this challenging time, organizations must remain competitive.

IT will play a crucial role in achieving this. Here are two ways organizations can stay competitive:

1. Improving Productivity

2. Ensuring Quality of Products and Services

Let's explore each of these areas further.

IT Improves Productivity in a Recession

To thrive in a tightened economy, organizations must maximize productivity by minimizing downtime for end users. Increased productivity allows employees to focus on their work rather than dealing with tech issues.

Investing in proactive IT management tools is essential. These tools ensure that IT systems run smoothly, reducing disruptions and allowing employees to maintain high productivity levels.

IT Ensures Quality in a Recession

The second critical factor during a recession is maintaining the quality of products and services. Organizations need a robust IT infrastructure with layered safeguards to remain competitive.

Investing in proactive IT management tools helps organizations focus on their core offerings without worrying about the health and security of their IT systems. This focus on quality is vital for thriving in a recession.

Proactive IT Tools

Investing in solutions like Extended Detection and Response (XDR), backup solutions, and security awareness tools is essential for organizations to survive and thrive.

Security awareness training addresses the ever-present threat of cybersecurity issues. With the increasing sophistication of ransomware attacks, layered safeguards are crucial in 2023.

Organizations must go beyond endpoint detection to combat the rise in ransomware. Implementing comprehensive tools that provide layered security will be necessary to meet this challenge.

Embracing Cloud Technology

The transition from analog to digital will continue to accelerate in 2023. This includes moving on-premises servers to the cloud and replacing paper-based systems with encrypted cloud applications. Industries like manufacturing and healthcare are already making these changes.

Next year, small businesses will likely take the leap to the cloud. User-friendly solutions will be key to facilitating this transition.

Holistic IT System Management in a Recession

The average B2B company uses over 50 SaaS applications. The biggest challenge is integrating these disparate software and systems to work holistically.

In 2023, organizations should prioritize the interconnectivity of their IT systems. Ensuring seamless integration can prevent multiple points of failure, messy data, and a lack of digital innovation and transformation.
