This edition showcases artworks from our partner, Singulart, an online art platform. We wanted to translate the state of the technology and cloud industry from the words of our authors into emotions created by the talented artists represented by Singulart. 

The cover of every Perspectives journal aims to represent the shape in which our industry finds itself for this particular semester. 

We extend our gratitude to our esteemed authors for their invaluable contributions as well as to the participants of the trend observatory research. We would like to say a special thank you to Vincent Coirier for his invaluable contribution in helping us form a team of authors for this edition.
