Business needs are evolving at an incredible rate and
software solution providers are moving with the times to create new systems.
The evolution of technology and the opportunities this presents lead to the emergence
of new products and platforms that are changing the way we all do business.
Whether within our own forex industry, the
development of business software, CRMs included, is forever in a state of flux.
The software industry continues to evolve in 2022 and
here we take a look at the latest emerging trends.
1.
Low-code
and no-code development
Drag-and-drop
editing programs are changing the game. These intuitive systems are opening up
software development like never before. The low barriers to entry are leading
to systems that can be developed without coding experience. This is resulting
in incredible opportunities for innovation outside of traditional programming and
development environments.
2.
A focus
on security
Cybersecurity
is becoming ever more important. Ransomware attacks are on the rise the world
over and no industry or economic sector is safe. Businesses are increasingly
focusing on modernizing their systems, applications and technology stacks. From
replacing legacy OSes to employing white hat security experts, improving
security is a major theme for 2022. At FX Back Office, we use industry-leading
security protocols and procedures to ensure our forex CRM and CRM systems are
entirely secure.
3.
Python
rising
The most
popular programming language for the creation of enterprise-level web and app
development, Python is becoming ubiquitous in the development industry. The
perfect tool for creating modern applications, Python is the ultimate language
for web development, mobile development, or enterprise projects and can provide
developers with the tools they need to leverage big data, machine learning and
more.
4.
The
standardization of software quality
ISO, the
international standardization body, is coming to software development.
Increasingly, we are going to see ISO standardization certificates attached to
software products as with the spread of the IoT, interacting with software is
an inescapable part of our daily lives. Companies will benefit from improved
reliability and increasingly efficient processes.
5.
Cloud
computing
Cloud
computing is now commonplace within SMEs, start-ups, institutions and government
organizations. As time moves on, we are going to see a continued transition to
cloud services across a wide range of industries. Big tech firms like
Microsoft, Google and Amazon will continue to offer expanding services to
individuals, businesses and enterprises, allowing them to scale quickly and
efficiently.
6.
Code
standards
Companies
are slowly moving toward creating consistency in style and language conventions
when it comes to coding. This should raise the standard of coding across the
board and result in industry-standard guidelines.
7.
JavaScript
is still a major player
JavaScript
is still one of the most popular coding languages and continues to have a place
in contemporary development, even after the arrival of AngularJS. JavaScript
frameworks are still expected to impact on software development given their
compatibility and ease of use for both clients and developers.
8.
The
Internet of Things
The
Internet of Things (IoT) has been forecast to create economic value in the
region of USD 6 trillion by the end of the year. Using IoT, cloud computing and
connected data, software developers will be able to revolutionize their
industries. Mobile devices could become more specialized to cater to specific
industries and analytics and sensors will allow real-time control and
monitoring of a vast array of different products, services and more.
9.
DevOps
DevOps
refers to the merging of IT operations and software development in an effort to
streamline workflows and improve efficiency. This practice tends to result in
more agile development that can address evolving trends within the industry.
Systems built with employee and user experience at their core result in the
creation of far more user-friendly, intuitive systems.
10. Artificial Intelligence
The use
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest-growing software
development trends. The growth of AI has led to vast improvements in terms of
deep learning and artificial neural networks and is sure to play a huge role in
software development going forward. AI can result in more accurate predictions
regarding user behaviour, customer data and customer psychology and can improve
processes regarding business management across a range of areas, from
maintenance to stock control and more.
11. Cloud-native apps and frameworks
Cloud-native
apps and frameworks will allow software developers to create efficient, durable
and secure cloud-native systems and apps far more quickly. Developers can
create servers, data layers, applications, and web apps using a single platform
and cloud-native apps can be built using many frameworks.
12. Microservices architectures
Monolithic
architectures are on the decline due to the rise of microservices architectures.
Microservices architectures have emerged in order to address the needs of
contemporary software development and represent the future of software design.
Through a modular approach to development, small and independent components are
designed to work together and can be easily adapted, allowing businesses to
constantly develop their software in new, innovative ways. At FX Back Office,
we pride ourselves on our modular approach to our forex CRM and CRM systems,
this allows us to respond to client needs and to quickly and efficiently bring
new solutions to market.
The Future?
The vast array of factors that influence software
design, from innovation in design, to the emergence of new technologies, to
consumer preference and developments outside of the industry, mean that
software development is a naturally vibrant, evolving arena.
The forex industry is no exception. Our CRM and CRM systems
have to evolve to keep pace with client demand and evolution within our
industry. As a CRM provider, we’re committed to creating the finest CRM systems
and back office tools through the adoption of the industry’s best practices and
latest advances.
We can’t say what the future of the forex industry, forex CRMs or software development in general will hold, but we can point to the trends above, we can be agile and we can embrace change.
