The pandemic pushed us to achieve business resilience through digitisation. As we emerge, adaptability is critical to thrive in a world of economic pressures, continued supply chain disruptions and the climate imperative.
South East Asia’s growing economies present opportunities across connected fintech, government, healthcare, retail, communications, energy and logistics. But, “Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.” Realising value from the opportunities requires adaptability in rapidly onboarding partners, scaling open ecosystems, embedded finance and leveraging digital public goods. To be viable in the long term, businesses must contribute to financial inclusion and sustainability.
Flexible technology architectures are key to delivering in this changing environment: APIs and microservices, modular and event-driven architectures, multi-cloud/multi-platform integration, Applied AI and automation, deploying, scaling and monitoring infrastructure, and enabling developers and non-developers with no-code/low-code tools. This must be underpinned by disciplined processes: security, data engineering, developer experience, site reliability engineering and platform engineering.
