2021 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Emerging Technologies

Overview

Let InfoCert, one of the Sample Vendors recognized by Gartner for Decentralized Identity support you in the exploration of these solutions

As per Gartner,

“Our 2021 Hype Cycle highlights emerging technologies that will significantly affect business and society over the next two to 10 years. It includes technologies that accelerate growth, engineer trust and bring order to the chaos of a changing world by sculpting change“.

The Hype Cycle

The Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is unique among Gartner Hype Cycles because it distills insights from more than 1,500 technologies that Gartner profiles each year into a succinct set of “must-know” emerging technologies. We have selected the technologies on this Hype Cycle for their potential transformational benefits and their broad impact across business and society.

Themes in Emerging Technologies

Engineering trust

At a minimum, trust demands security and reliability. However, here the trust also extends to building innovations as a resilient core and foundation for IT to deliver business value. This foundation must consist of engineered, repeatable, trusted, proven, and scalable working practices and innovations.

Risk for business must be minimized or managed so that IT can deliver. Resilience is key from both a business and technology perspective. Scalable repeatability helps build a resilient business core.

To engineer trust, examine the following technologies:

Sovereign cloud
Machine-readable legislation
Decentralized identity
Decentralized finance
Nonfungible tokens (NFT)
Homomorphic encryption
Active metadata management
Data fabric
Real-time incident center
Employee communications applications

Accelerating growth

Once the trusted core business is established, recovery and growth can happen. Growth targets should be achievable. Here risk is manageable in incremental steps when managed against business needs. Technology risk is balanced with the appetite for business risk (using Hype Cycles), and near-term objectives are attainable.

Once the innovation-led core is scaling, accelerated growth extends delivery and value. At this point, risk and agility enhance IT delivery toward more distant horizons.

To accelerate growth, explore the following critical technologies:

Multiexperience
Industry cloud
AI-driven innovation
Quantum ML
Generative AI
Digital humans

Sculpting change

Change is traditionally disruptive and often tied to chaos, but organizations can use innovations to sculpt change and bring order to chaos. The art is to anticipate and auto-tune to the needs of change. Experience helps scale business drivers. Risk may help innovations adapt to sculpture change, but this risk must be manageable. So change can be sculpted, while delivery is being assessed.

To sculpt change, examine the following technologies:

Composable applications
Composable networks
AI-augmented design
AI-augmented software engineering
Physics-informed AI
Influence engineering
Digital platform conductor tools
Named data networking
Self-integrating applications

The Priority Matrix illustrates the technologies mapped to the time frame by which they are expected to mature into mainstream adoption and deliver benefits, and the level and depth of benefits that can be expected from them.
