Once again, David Marshall at VMBlog has gathered up predictions for 2022 from technology leaders. Check out his ongoing series, and see what Bonitasoft CEO and others see as they peek into the coming year.
Here's a taste of what Miguel Valdes Faura has shared: 5 predictions about work, the workplace, and work tools, as all 3 are evolving rapidly because or - or in spite of - the effects of the global pandemic.
