Blockchain in Action: Facilitating Digital Transformation Through Trust and Security
After a slowdown during the pandemic, the adoption of blockchain services picked up the pace again in 2022. Use cases such as tokenization, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the metaverse saw an increase in blockchain adoption, and new use cases emerged, such as blockchain for ESG. More enterprises are moving from proof of concepts (POCs) and pilots to full-scale production and building integrated digital solutions for blockchain with a focus on enabling trust and transparency and addressing data privacy issues. The share of enterprise production-grade projects increased from 18% in 2021 to 29% in 2022. These emerging trends, and others, are covered in Avasant’s Blockchain Services 2022 –2023 RadarView™.

HR Process Transformation to Build an Employee-Centric Culture
The enterprise HR function has been traditionally concerned with reducing employee costs, managing employee transactions, and complying with local labor laws. However, with competition for talent and elevated employee expectations, the enterprise HR function is becoming more strategic with a focus on engaging employees. Enterprises are transforming their people, processes, and technology to meet these demands. As a result, service provider HR transformation clients grew by over 30% between September 2021 and September 2022. These trends, and others, are covered in our new Global Hire-to-Retire Business Process Transformation 2022–2023 RadarView™.

Cybersecurity in Connected Aircraft: Risk Mitigation for Airlines, Passengers, Airports, and Service Providers
The aviation industry is embracing a connected environment by digitizing its operations. This involves leveraging IoT devices, 5G networks, applied AI, advanced analytics, and SaaS-based applications to streamline maintenance, repair, and overhaul. A connected aircraft generates three types of information: aircraft control and navigation data, cabin-based in-flight entertainment data, and operations-based flight movement data. However, interconnected systems have greatly widened the risk perimeter. These demands call for applying security measures, including zero-trust security and secure by design principles, and collaborating with a technology partner who offers services such as threat detection, incident response, governance, risk and compliance, red teaming, 24x7 monitoring, and threat intelligence.

Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Driving Long-Term Business Value
Finance and accounting (F&A) outsourcing grew between 13% and 17% from June 2021 to June 2022. F&A outsourcing is expanding as enterprises entrust service providers with more strategic processes, such as tax and treasury. Additionally, companies want to deal with fewer service providers, leading to an increase in the number of multitower deals. For F&A outsourcing service providers combined, 50%–75% of their F&A revenue comes from providing end-to-end services, compared to function-specific projects. These trends are covered in Avasant’s F&A Business Process Transformation 2022–2023 RadarView™.
