70% of companies in Central Asia and the Caucasus plan to invest in cybersecurity and 63% in data analytics tools. Despite the fact that working with data has moved to the third track in recent years, analysts note that market leaders continue to develop tools for data quality management and modelling.
The survey found that only a small proportion of organisations plan to invest in artificial intelligence, low-code automation, quantum and edge computing. However, the majority of organisations surveyed expect to cover all key areas of IT innovation in the next five years.
