To mark the end of the year, ETR hosted a series of interviews with IT decision makers following a standardized set of questions to determine the most (and least) pressing trends in enterprise technology heading into 2023. The interview panel consisted of five ETR Community Members: the Senior DevOps and SRE Officer for a large financials enterprise; CISO for a large hospitality enterprise; Director of IT for a large tech enterprise; Sr. Director of IT Infrastructure for a global financial services enterprise; and CTO for a global travel enterprise. All seasoned experts in their fields, these panelists opined on macroeconomic conditions; IT budget priorities; the coming year’s innovation landscape; novel challenges in IT security; the most overhyped technology trends of 2022; and anticipated mergers and acquisitions.
