The report found companies that have not begun the digital investment cycle are at high risk of being disrupted, and the most popular trend coming this year is the adoption of Blockchain, and its immense potential to disrupt and transform the world of money, business, and society using a variety of applications.

Ettienne Reinecke, Dimension Data’s CTO, said: “Last year, when we looked at the top digital business trends for 2017, we predicted that centralised transaction models would come under attack.

“We were spot on. In the financial services sector, we’ve seen the US and European capital markets moving onto Blockchain platforms, and similar activity in markets such as Japan. Considering how conservative and compliance-focused this sector is, that’s quite remarkable.”

The data also found another popular trend is wireless technologies, enabling IoT to bring us a step closer to “the dream of pervasive connectivity”.
