FIRST WORDS

As this is our last e-newsletter for the year, I would like to wish all our readers a Happy New Year on behalf of the team. Many economies have opened up, and SIs have been busy with projects despite staffing and equipment shortages. That is the good news. However, COVID-19 is still ongoing, which might be compounded by recession and inflationary issues. We all hope for a better 2023, so let's stay positive.
