As the year comes to an end, it is time to look ahead to see what the next year will bring us. Now for the 7th year in a row, I offer you my two cents on the most important technology trends for 2019 to help you, and your business, prepare for the next year.

That is why I would like to call 2019 the Year of Truth. Let’s have a look at the seven technology trends that will dominate 2019.
