UNLOCKING TECHNOLOGY POTENTIAL TO CONQUER BUSINESS COMPLEXITY
Clearly the major trend for CIOs in 2026, re-imagining IT infrastructures and architectures and the way their components are interconnected won’t be just a strategic choice, but also a critical imperative for bringing agility, resilience, security and compliance at levels never reached before. More specifically, adopting latest technologies and upgrading to the newest advancements in cloud platforms, agentic AI, hyper automation, Quantum computing, data factories or cybersecurity will be a fundamental priority for CIOs to stay ahead of the agility, adaptability and innovation curves.
