Is “Enterprise technology” the latest industry buzz phrase? Or a vast, all-encompassing description for emerging technology platforms that serve a range of businesses?
Enterprise technology refers to the concept of information technology (IT) resources and data that are shared across an enterprise. Boiled down, what this means is that the enterprise technology industry touches on many different verticals. It’s also pervasive, and an integral engine running all sorts of industries, from healthcare (ever wondered how a major hospital keeps track of thousands of patient records?) to retail (enter contactless shopping in the world of COVID) to security (hello, cybersecurity concerns as businesses allow employees to deal with sensitive company information as we all work from anywhere).
So how can you stay up to speed on what can sometimes be a hard-to-wrap-your-head-around industry landscape like enterprise technology?
You can start with this list and consider it your new best friend. While there are a multitude of publications out there that cover enterprise technology, here are the five trade publications that any industry professional should be reading consistently if they want to be on top of the latest news and trends in enterprise technology.
