This year, digital workplaces will start to achieve a new level of maturity. You’ll be able to connect to your office from any place in the world, even a smart car.
Technology is transforming the way we live, work, and play. Join us as we explore five trends shaping the future of work.

How can car manufacturers, fleet owners, and insurers gain a deeper insight into how the future of mobility will shape their business? Here are three factors for connected-vehicle technology for businesses:
- How we drive
- How long it takes us to reach our destination
- How often we cause an accident
By considering the above mentioned connected vehicle technology ideas, businesses can:
- Reduce costs
- Increase efficiency
- Create a competitive advantage
Hybrid IT
The last decade has seen a seismic shift in the way we work. Businesses have grown beyond frontiers and are now more connected than ever.
Businesses have seen increasing demand for 24/7 access to efficient collaboration systems between home offices, workgroups, and enterprise networks.
The workforce is still striving for more flexibility, mobility, and productivity throughout the enterprise. However, employee expectations are growing at an exponential rate.
The current transformation of the digital workspace, fueled by cloud services and mobile devices, is opening up paths to achieve new levels of employee satisfaction through improved productivity.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What’s the future for AI? Just a couple of years ago, it was rare to have a voice-enabled assistant like Amazon’s Alexa in your home.
Today, they’re popping up all over the place. The popularity of new media gadgets—like cell phones, DVRs, and portable gaming systems—helped fuel the rise of high-speed internet.
Smart assistants will be everywhere in 2022, helping you complete tasks with a few spoken words and a few taps on your mobile device.
They will help you in your daily tasks by giving you reminders and keeping track of your day while you focus on important tasks.
These assistants will use AI to learn more about you, like your preferences and patterns, so that they can provide better services.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
Virtual reality and augmented reality are both technologies that bring computer-generated information into our real-world environments, but they differ in some key ways.
Virtual reality completely immerses users in an artificial digital environment by blocking their natural vision. Augmented reality uses technology to overlay visuals and other information on the user’s normal vision.
In either case, virtual reality creates an immersive experience that makes it seem as though users have been transported to another time and place altogether.
Digital Workspace
The average employee will have access to a digital workspace in 2022, providing them access to the business anytime, anywhere.

The workplace is changing. With the rise of remote working and the increasing popularity of ‘co-working spaces’, it seems the trend for the future will be for workers to collaborate in an ever more dispersed way.
The digital workspace will profoundly impact how companies and employees interact. The workplace of the future is about much more than offices and desks. It’s about a new way of working together as a mobile, social, and collaborative team.
Last of all…
Imagine the Digital Workplace of the future! It’s a place where everything happens, where it talks to you, understands your context, and takes action.
