• We’ve seen Digital Transformation dominate the headlines

HOW WILL THE CONVERSATION AROUND TECH CHANGE?

• We're seeing stories about moving back to Private Cloud
• We're seeing stories that microservices are bad
• We're seeing stories that Automation and Security spending will increase
• We'll hear less and less about Digital Transformation
• We'll hear about hiring slow downs, and some rationalization of salaries
