In an era where technological advancements happen seemingly every year, it’s become incredibly important to stay up to date with the latest trends in order to stay ahead of the curve. However, doing so requires an agile company that is able to not only adopt the latest technologies, but has the room to test them out before deploying them as permanent solutions. You also need to have the ability to fall back on prior technologies should something not work.

Historically, businesses have preferred to stay with tried and true methods to ensure stability, but for smaller companies, taking advantage of new technologies could be the breakthrough they need for greater success. So in this article, we’ll be touching on two important technologies that can help your business thrive today.

Artificial intelligence and generative technologies

One of the hottest topics in the business world today is how you can take advantage of AI and generative technologies in an ethical way to improve your business.

AI already has many technical applications in business. From predictive analytics and personalized marketing to enhancing customer support with chat bots, these are all ethical and easy ways to improve your business if you’re not already using them.

However, generative AI technology poses a set of different considerations. For instance, is it worth using generated AI images over hiring real photographers and designers? There are some practical concerns here, such as the ability to produce realistic and convincing images that might need a bit of tuning, versus the peace of mind you get with a long-term designer who learns about your brand and is able to represent it with beautiful graphics.

Balancing the peace of mind you get with human-made content and the cost-effective nature of generative AI content will be the key to a thriving business in the future, especially for smaller companies.

Industry-Specific Technology

While the majority of the technology included within this article can be used across businesses of all specialities, it is also critical that you invest in industry-specific tech. After all, this technology is developed to deal with common industry pain points or challenges, making it much easier to steer your business toward success. In short, it often solves a problem on your behalf! 

For example, if you run a private healthcare business, then you should invest in time-saving technology, which frees up time in your employee's schedule to dedicate to a higher level of patient care. If you don’t quite have the budget for new tech right now, outsource specific roles to companies that do. For example, if you’re looking for a quicker way to interpret the results of MRI tests, you could partner with a company that offers an MRI Interpretation Services and uses the latest high-end equipment to gather and analyze results.

Cloud computing benefits that all companies should take advantage of

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way that businesses scale their businesses. From simple cloud storage all the way to cloud-based applications, there are countless different benefits that you can take advantage of today.

Getting help from a fractional CTO can really help push your business into the world of cloud computing as well. Moving your existing services and solutions to the cloud can be a difficult task, but it’s the best solution for long-term growth and scalability. You get access to better services, enhanced security, automatic software updates, and improved business continuity should you lose your data in an accident.

Cloud computing is also highly cost effective, especially when you consider the lack of upfront investment required to do something like scale a server or add additional services to your business workflow. If your business isn’t currently using some form of cloud technology, then we’d highly recommend learning more and finding ways to integrate it into your workflow today. Cloud computing has the ability to transform the way you do things and encourage positive changes in your company’s workflow.
