At O2, we’re always at the forefront of tech and its future trends. Now we’ve partnered with Futurist Work Specialist, Graeme Codrington who’s picked out the three key tech areas he believes can simplify your working practice, and help move businesses forward in 2018.

Sharing intelligence from data is already giving many businesses an advantage, and having an API mentality is accelerating innovation. So how can you use application programming interfaces to make sure your business doesn’t get left behind?

It’s likely you have access to data that other enterprises could make good use of. For example, Apple allows bank applications to cross-check your fingerprint. With so many unexplored partnerships and synergies sitting dormant in data stores, it’s time to start searching for the one hidden in yours and putting API to work.

As more and more businesses embrace the cloud and become truly mobile-first, there’s a good reason to make sure you’re up to speed. Evidence shows that if you’re not mobile-first within the next two years, technology could move too far ahead for you to catch up. But by moving away from legacy and onto a better, faster system in 2018, you can speed up your people and propel your business into the future.

While everyone looks to Silicon Valley as the global giants of tech innovation, research shows that China are 100 times faster and trillions of dollars ahead on mobile payments. With social platforms such as WeChat, online shopping giant Alibaba, and QR codes being used to tip buskers, it’s well worth looking at their innovations for inspiration.
