Open Source Technologies
Even as a growing number of software companies in UAE now becomes more open minded to adopting digital practices,
customization and low cost solutions remain high on the agenda, while looking
for smart solutions.
With the changing uncertain times, innovative
solutions that can help achieve not merely the short term goals but also long
terms ones are the pressing priority. Also, product development should be more
focused on building operational efficiency, value addition, cost affordability,
and a secure environment that houses in remote working, and enduring sustainability
for businesses.
Here are 3 important technology trends that every
software developer doing software development in UAE has to know.
Cloud
Computing and Security
While cloud computing has been here for ages now,
its real possibilities and benefits have become widely accepted only recently,
courtesy to the urgent need of accessible and secure remote workspaces.
In recent years, cloud computing has become found
itself to be the integral part of digital transformation, enabling businesses
to influence secure and remote data storage, computing power and many other
cloud services.
Moreover, embracement of cloud computing technology has enabled companies to attain coherent business operations beyond geographical boundaries. But this has also improved the focus on the need for effective cloud security and data storage, which have become crucial for preserving the integrity of a modern technology business infrastructure.
Containerization
One of the most important tech innovations of the
present, containerization is the fundamental part for ensuring data security
and privacy, even while accessing on private device.
To put it simply, containerization technologies are
all about permitting business and personal apps and data to safely remain
segregated, on a single device. By establishing separate, encrypted containers
on personal devices, business data is shielded from everything else on the
device and permits the admin to manage only what is inside the container,
limiting corporate access to personal data, and vice versa.
Also, containerization allows numerous applications
to be ‘written once and move over’ which subsequently ensures faster
development processes avert cloud vendor lock-in and helps in fault
isolation, ease of management, simplified security, and more.
With work turning remote and accessed through
private as well as public Wi-Fi and unsecured devices, without the security and
control of a corporate environment, software companies in Dubai are
moving towards containerization to ensure all corporate data and interactions
are well protected.
AI, ML
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning
are possibly two of the most fast-growing technology trends that have found
widespread application, in a brief time. These include sectors like healthcare
technology, BFSI, and Fintech, Personal entertainment,
driverless cars, robotics and automation in manufacturing and logistics and
many more.
