“Crystal balling” 2018
• Clear ROI for enterprise: e.g., big impact in back office automation
• Workflow being redesigned and optimised with smart technologies
• SIs developing large practices (process redesign and implementation) and accelerating adoption
• Examples: UI Path, Celonis, Digital Genius
AI & Automation
APIs and microservices
Vertical Apps
• Need for speed and agility: next generation infrastructure driven by APIs and microservices
• Opportunity for “plug and play” infrastructure components and new management tools
• Examples: Algolia, Intercom, Instana
• Lower refresh cycle but legacy solutions getting old
• Few winners yet, mobile and AI opening new perspectives
• Examples: Doctolib, Mambu, Shift Technology
Rise of SMB
Compliance & Security
• SMBs getting online and adopting SaaS globally: reached tipping point of the “S-curve”
• Digital and field-driven Go To Market engines proved their efficiency
• Market able to support $10 Billion+ market cap (e.g., Shopify, Netsuite)
• Examples: Soldo, Payfit, Typeform
• Cyber threats on the rise: acute need for security and compliance platforms
• Key challenge: security vs. usability for customer / internal processes. How can we get rid of passwords?
• Perimeter paradigm disappearing with cloud and mobile devices, requiring new tools
• Examples: Check Recipient, CallSign, Darktrace
