The need to visualize large amounts of data will propel the expansion from data acquisition to data analytics and business and operational insights.

AECCafe Year In Review 2019

Thursday, December 19th, 2019

Each year when I look back on what was accomplished during the technology year, I’m amazed at how many of the same topics come up.
