Establishments primarily engaged in developing or modifying computer software and packaging or bundling the software with purchased computer hardware (computers and computer peripheral equipment) to create and market an integrated system for specific application. Establishments in this industry must provide each of the following services: (1) the development or modification of the computer software; (2) the marketing of purchased computer hardware; and (3) involvement in all phases of systems development from design through installation. Establishments primarily engaged in selling computer hardware are classified in Wholesale Trade, Industry 5045, and Retail Trade, Industry 5734; and those manufacturing computers and computer peripheral equipment are classified in Manufacturing, Industry Group 357.
The Computer Integrated Systems Design sector (NAICS 7373) is undergoing significant qualitative shifts driven by advancements in technology and changing business needs. A major trend is the increasing integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into system designs, enabling more advanced data analytics, automation, and personalization. AI-driven solutions are expected to become even more pervasive, influencing everything from cybersecurity to customer service.
Another trend is the shift towards cloud-based solutions. As businesses transition from traditional on-premises systems to cloud infrastructures, there's a greater demand for integrated systems that support hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This also involves a growing focus on scalable, flexible architectures that can evolve with business demands.
Cybersecurity continues to be a critical concern and a driving force for innovation in integrated systems design. There is an increased emphasis on building security features into systems from the ground up, as well as ongoing monitoring and threat detection capabilities. This is often referred to as "security by design."
The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is another emerging trend, with systems increasingly incorporating IoT devices for enhanced data collection and automation. This requires designing integrated systems capable of handling large volumes of data generated by these devices and turning it into actionable insights.
Looking ahead, we can forecast a continued acceleration in the adoption of these technologies, driven by the ongoing digital transformation across industries. Businesses will increasingly seek integrated systems that offer not just functionality, but also agility and the ability to integrate seamlessly with emerging technologies.
