Our enterprise architecture software helps complex businesses thrive through change.
Software is increasingly playing a critical role in the efficiency and effectiveness of all work processes in various industries.??
Not only technology industries but end markets too, are impacted by software.? It’s a major driver for digital transformation and digitalization in many industries and the wider society.? It’s no wonder that many are curious when it comes to predictions of software trends.??
In January, we invited Bram Kaashoek – Partner at Main Capital Partners, to share his insights on the top five software trends for this year. Continue reading to learn more...?
Trend #1: (More) adoption of AI in software solutions?
Software vendors are increasingly adopting specific technologies to create immediate value for end users, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of them. AI will gain more relevancy in software solutions regarding work processes for end-users (e.g., with the help of personalization or process automation)?
?
Trend #2: Integrations and operability as part of a larger ecosystem?
Software vendors will place more focus on integrations and operability. Not only from a technical perspective (e.g., managing APIs or the rise of data platforms/ iPaaS) but also from a larger ecosystem perspective and by focusing on collaboration in different verticals and industries. This also means that software vendors must understand these industry relationships if they want to use software for change.??
?
Trend #3: Addressing digital security with contextual learning?
Since technology and software are everywhere, it also becomes a weak link in organizations.?Software vendors will focus more on resilience, contextualized learning and awareness training where employees can relate everything they learn to their everyday working lives.?

Trend #4: Adoption of Low/No code platforms, accelerated by IT Talent scarcity and the need to control IT maintenance costs?
Because of the increased need for IT professionals and software developers specifically, the adoption of low/no-code platforms will accelerate in the next years. It’s simply easier to learn working with those platforms than learning coding in programming languages.??
As an enterprise architect, you will be confronted more with solutions that have their foundation in low-no code platforms.?

Trend #5: Creating software for social change?
There is a trend that software companies don’t start creating products that are technically great or just a good idea, but with a ‘problem worth solving’. In 2023 we think that more software companies will create solutions contributing to major societal challenges, e.g., lifelong learning, healthy aging, and the circular economy. ?
Enterprise architects could adopt the same thinking to make their work more meaningful. Instead of looking at the IT landscape in isolation or the business impact it can make, they could also think of how to design architecture for social change.?
?
Stay competitive in a changing market?
Looking back, we’ve witnessed an accelerated effect of digitalization in many end markets which we mentioned earlier in the introduction.? Take for example the higher education sector.?
?
Accelerated by the pandemic, higher education institutions experienced significant growth in e-learning, digital collaborations and virtual classroom software. COVID-19 posed one of the most unique and compelling reasons for rapid change that higher education ever encountered.?
?
Like many other sectors, higher education had to re-think how they position themselves more competitively during turbulent and disruptive times. To stay competitive in a changing market, it's important for enterprises to continue gaining insights into the market dynamics of the software industry.?
