So that was 2016! What's next? Videos by the IT Infrastructure Community

/

So 2016 is now long gone and we are now hurtling into 2017. With the pace of change within IT being faster than ever before, we wanted to take a few minutes to reflect and ask the community what their main take away's were from 2016, in terms of IT trends and ask 'What is likely to be the major trends for 2017'? Finally what advice would they give to those in IT for 2017.
