Telecom Providers Deliver Managed Healthcare Solutions

In most developed markets around the globe, there's a key trend that has been in motion for some time. The convergence of digital business technology and internet connectivity is disrupting, transforming and sometimes collapsing industries.

Technologies like cloud computing, enterprise mobility, big data and the Internet of Things are driving the surge in digital business transformation and rapidly accelerating the pace of change.

"Customers are no longer interested in silo-based apps or services. They demand holistic, end-to end solutions for their connected lives and companies understand the importance of convergence for those solutions to materialize, thus creating partnerships between many sectors," said Andrew Milroy, senior vice president at Frost & Sullivan.

Milroy says connectivity is enabled by the proliferation of connected devices and digital technology enablers create disruptions in various commercial sectors that are already in transition, forcing convergence and thereby creating possibilities to build solutions for emerging demand.

Moreover, identifying new convergence areas could help to stimulate the development of new business models and new product development. For many business leaders in highly competitive industries, the best way to enable their forward-looking growth is to fully understand the convergence landscape.

Besides, Frost & Sullivan believes that digital technology is allowing the savvy leaders to totally rethink and radically improve their effectiveness, as they transform their organizations and core business processes to meet key stakeholder requirements.

With a culture of innovation, the progressive companies can turn these market disruptions into new opportunities -- but only of they're able to respond in a timely manner. Conversely, the laggard companies are likely to put their business at risk when they don't monitor disruptive changes in other industries and then learn how to innovate within their own realm.

Managed Healthcare Market Opportunities

Clearly, telecom service providers are well positioned to provide solutions to these emerging digital business application scenarios. Social trends, like aging societies, demand specific forward-thinking solutions around assisted-living.

As the cost of healthcare rises and leaders address the challenges posed by aging populations, greater focus must be placed upon preventive care and providing assistance within the home -- essentially creating the environment for managed aging-in-place.

Milroy said, "This new healthcare paradigm will see the hospital is coming to you rather than you going to the hospital, and there are huge new opportunities for information and communication technology (ICT) suppliers whose solutions will enable and drive this transformation."

Established telecom service providers, such as AT&T and Deutsche Telekom, have used the power of convergence in their connected home platforms -- called "Digital Life" and "QIVICON" respectively. Also, Google has evolved from their traditional business area to form new partnerships. This is merely the early stages of a series of related trends that are just beginning to unfold.

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve
