“Digital transformation” can be a misleading term. Many believe the concept has a definite beginning and end (whenever that may occur), but the transformation itself is often an ongoing process.

What will drive retail in 2023?

January 14, 2023  |  BY

Agnostic Networks will never be mistaken for an economic think tank. We’re experts in technology, not dollars and cents. That said, the state of the economy is critical to how we advise our clients about which technology to deploy. And for the retail sector in particular, 2023 will be shaped by the current, unpredictable economic outlook.

If IT professionals wanted an easy job, they would’ve chosen another career. The people we collaborate with love their work because it’s challenging and rewarding. They enjoy solving technical and business problems, and that often requires long days, long nights, and multiple deliveries of meals and coffee. No problem.
