Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Generative AI & LLMs
Generative AI, particularly Large Language Models, will revolutionize development workflows, automate code generation, enhance testing, and enable new intelligent features in custom software.
Composability & Headless Architectures
The shift towards composable and headless architectures will accelerate, allowing businesses to create highly flexible, scalable, and personalized digital experiences by decoupling front-end from back-end.
Low-Code/No-Code Platforms
Increasing sophistication of low-code/no-code platforms will empower citizen developers and accelerate MVP development, yet still require expert developers for complex integrations, custom logic, and scalability.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) - Proposed
The ADPPA is a comprehensive federal privacy bill proposed in 2022 that aims to establish national standards for data privacy, including data minimization, consumer rights over data, and enforcement mechanisms.
This comprehensive federal privacy legislation will necessitate significant adjustments in how software development companies handle and process user data, impacting data collection, storage, and usage practices across all developed solutions.
NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) - 2023
Released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the AI RMF 1.0 provides voluntary guidance for organizations to manage risks associated with artificial intelligence, promoting trustworthy and responsible AI development and deployment.
While voluntary, this framework will influence best practices in AI development, pushing companies like Codup to integrate ethical considerations, transparency, and risk mitigation into their AI/ML integrated solutions, particularly for regulated industries.
Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) - 2022
Part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, CIRCIA mandates critical infrastructure entities to report significant cyber incidents and ransomware payments to CISA within specific timeframes.
This act increases the compliance burden for clients in critical infrastructure sectors, making robust cybersecurity features and incident response planning a more critical component of software development projects provided by Codup.
