Welcome to issue 25 of IT Pro 20/20, distilling the most important themes of the previous month into a simple, easy-to-read package.
This month we look at the industry-wide push for sustainable development, which was very much on display at this year’s CES. We’ve highlighted a handful of major players that are doing some pretty interesting things.
A new year also brings new opportunities, and so we’ve also explained why there’s never been a better time to start a side hustle, and how to go about it.
The next IT Pro 20/20 will be available on 28 January – previous issues can be found here. If you would like to receive each issue in your inbox as they release, you can subscribe to our mailing list here.
