Today, Gartner released new predictions about technology products and services, specifically who will build them and the impact of AI and the pandemic. The research firm found that by 2024, 80% of tech products and services will be built by people who are not technology professionals. "The barrier to become a technology producer is falling due to low-code and no-code development tools," Gartner VP Rajesh Kandaswamy told VentureBeat. Instead of tech professionals driving what's next, Gartner predicts a democratization of technology development that includes citizen developers, data scientists, and "Business technologists," a term that encompasses a wide range of employees who modify, customize, or configure their own analytics, process automation, or solutions as part of their day-to-day work. "While such tools are in their infancy, we expect their sophistication to improve and [that] they'll help reduce the barriers for those without specialized skills to develop useful technology products and services." Overall, this trend toward democratizing technology development is driven by a new category of buyers outside of the traditional IT enterprise, Gartner says. VentureBeat VentureBeat's mission is to be a digital town square for technical decision-makers to gain knowledge about transformative technology and transact.
