“Gartner, Inc. announced its top ten strategic technology trends for 2020. Analysts presented their findings during Gartner IT Symposium in Orlando.

Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as ‘one with substantial disruptive potential that is beginning to break out of an emerging state into broader impact and use, or which is rapidly growing with a high degree of volatility reaching tipping points over the next five years.’

David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow said, ‘People-centric smart spaces are the structure used to organize and evaluate the primary impact of the Gartner top strategic technology trends for 2020. Putting people at the center of your technology strategy highlights one of the most important aspects of technology — how it impacts customers, employees, business partners, society or other key constituencies. Arguably all actions of the organization can be attributed to how it impacts these individuals and groups either directly or indirectly. This is a people-centric approach.'”

The top 10 trends are:

1. Hyperautomation
2. Multiexperience
3. Democratization of Expertise
4. Human Augmentation
5. Transparency and Traceability
6. The Empowered Edge
7. Distributed Cloud
