Where are
things going?
We are continually searching for insights that offer guidance and help, not only to clients but also to ourselves. We have identified seven key trends that highlight the importance of our organization.
Trend #1
Digital transformation is accelerating exponentially
ICT is a condition for the success of every modern organization that wishes to improve itself. You name it, ICT can make it happen. New solutions are springing up everywhere you look. Disruption seems to be the new standard.
Things are moving fast. Innovation is the catalyst for innovation. And with the emergence of AI, machine learning and IoT technology, the digital transformation is accelerating exponentially. The consequences are huge.
Trend #2
Developments are occurring fast
and the complexity is increasing
Worldwide, countless ICT solutions are being offered. Every day, a new option is added to the mix. The developments are impossible for anyone to keep up with. Are you looking for a solution for your organization? The endless options can make it extremely difficult to reach a decision.
Trend #3
Point solutions collectively make
the difference
In order to distinguish themselves from the competition, developers are opening the door to integration with third party solutions. This enables organizations to tailor their support for business processes by combining different platforms or systems. It sounds great, but it also has its downsides. That is trend 4.
Trend #4
Lots of insight, little overview
Every point solution has its own reporting module. More and more companies are being guided by insights obtained from multiple dashboards. There is a growing need to streamline the different solutions into one user-friendly system which not only provides insight, but also overview.
Trend #5
Security and privacy are crucial
The data protection legislation didn't just appear from nowhere. Point solutions offer optimization, but not in synch with neighbouring third party integrations. This always creates a gap which cyber criminals can slip through, resulting in the developer having to seal it off. It's a never-ending game of cat and mouse that is becoming increasingly challenging, especially if ongoing development becomes more difficult to achieve due to a lack of IT talent.
Trend #6
The war
on talent
In a world that is developing exponentially and where every solution is dependent on another, it is logical that the demand for IT experts is rocketing. There is already a major shortage, and this is only set to increase. This will lead to a shake-out of solutions which can no longer keep up with the dictated tempo.
Trend #7
Focus on productivity
We live in a time when employees have become the most costly factor. Those same employees want to be challenged and are not keen to do repetitive work. ICT brings efficiency, fuels productivity and enables employees to work and grow according to their ambitions.
Why FPG?
What's next?
Every entrepreneur will agree: Standing still is not an option. You have to innovate; the competition is also moving forward. It is important that companies make future-proofing a key priority when it comes to ICT.
Think ahead. The integration of a new solution has a big impact on the organization. What if it turns out to be a blind alley: will you still be able to turn around and come back? And if so, what will the consequences be? For instance, how long will it be before everyone can work with the subsequent solution?

Futureproof Group makes innovation affordable
ICT is a commodity in which structural investment is essential. We make budgets go further by standardizing and automatizing many aspects of our own service provision. We are also self-disciplined and have given meticulous thought to the solutions that we believe in and in which we accumulate knowledge. For instance, our client portal reports the most important insights entirely automatically so that organizations can see at any moment how healthy their ICT environment is.
We work on the basis of ICT roadmaps
As a trusted advisor, we need to know where our clients want to go, what facilitates this and what hinders it. That calls for continuous insight into a world that is and will always be in motion. To make this possible, we use a central ICT roadmap which connects goals with solutions. By evaluating this periodically we are able to make continuous small adjustments and to prevent unexpected large investments.
