Ecosystem of Innovative Information Technologies in Digital Business Transformation

Abstract

The ongoing evolution of the digital economy stimulates the emergence of new information technologies and reshapes approaches to their application in business. Such developments highlight the necessity of integrating these technologies into a comprehensive ecosystem capable of driving the digital transformation of enterprise economic activities. The study aims to identify emerging technological trends in the digital economy, substantiate their role in the formation of an integrated information technology ecosystem, and examine the impact of such an ecosystem on business operations and the digitalization of economic processes. The methodological framework relies on systems and functional approaches, providing a basis for analyzing the interrelationships among ecosystem components and clarifying their contribution to business digitalization. The findings reveal key technological trends shaping the future of the digital economy, including AI agents, AI-assisted software engineering, autonomous procurement, digital energy management, cloud environments supported by blockchain-based data structuring, quantum computing, intelligent robotics, the Internet of Things, digital twins, the metaverse, and virtual and augmented reality technologies. Their integrated deployment creates a comprehensive information technology ecosystem, whereas the isolated adoption of individual technologies fails to generate the synergistic advantages required for effective digital transformation. The study systematizes the technological components of this ecosystem and defines their functional roles in corporate information system integration, business process automation, software engineering management, supply chain coordination, resource optimization, secure data exchange, high-performance data processing, autonomous execution of operational activities, digital modeling, and remote collaboration. The findings further demonstrate that the implementation of a comprehensive information technology ecosystem strengthens business efficiency, organizational adaptability, and managerial control while optimizing workforce allocation and reducing organizational and information processing costs.
