Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) executives are navigating a shifting landscape shaped by evolving technologies, security concerns, and changing business needs. The following trends as reported by Gartner highlight the key areas that will shape the future of I&O.

“These trends give the opportunity for I&O leaders to identify future skills requirements and seek insights to help meet implementation requirements,” said Jeffrey Hewitt, Vice President Analyst at Gartner. He added, “They will provide the differentiation needed for enterprises to gain the optimal benefits from their I&O operations in 2025.”
