The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted trading activities across regions. It has had a moderate impact on all the elements of the technology sector. The hardware business is predicted to be the most impacted in the IT industry. Owing to the slowdown of hardware supply and reduced manufacturing capacity, the IT infrastructure growth has slowed down. Businesses providing solutions and services are also expected to slow down for a short period. However, the adoption of collaborative applications, analytics, security solutions, and AI is set to increase in the remaining part of the year. Verticals such as manufacturing, retail, and energy and utilities have witnessed a moderate slowdown, whereas BFSI, government, and healthcare and life sciences verticals have witnessed a minimal impact.

While at the same time working to improve operational efficiencies, so conversational AI is rising to the forefront of technology enablers. For instance, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration successfully automated over 270,000 inquiries at the height of the pandemic’s first wave with a success rate of over 80%. Silvercar by Audi piloted and launched a virtual agent for COVID-19 response in a matter of days, enabling the luxury car rental company to respond to customers quickly and consistently. Leading Norwegian bank, Sparebank 1 SR-Bank, deployed a unique integration that, combined with Robotic Process Automation (RPA), made it feasible for customers impacted by the pandemic to automate the process of home loan forbearance via its virtual agent without needing to speak to a human agent. The latest generation of chatbots and voice-based agents is easier to build and deploy and is more responsive to user inquiries. Once adopted, in other words, these systems are most likely to stay, proving their value through their ease of use and affordability.
