Happy New Year! Today: after years of hype and investment, enterprise generative AI applications are still awaiting their breakout moment, the data-center investment boom continues, and the latest funding rounds in enterprise tech.
This year marked a turning point for enterprise tech as spending recovered and the economy stabilized following years of rising interest rates and supply-chain disruption. While no one knows what lies ahead, here are five things we thought summed up a pivotal year.

Today: why Asana's CIO thinks IT departments that spent wildly during the pandemic are overdue for some spring cleaning, Nvidia consolidates its central role in the AI boom, and the latest funding rounds for enterprise tech startups.
Cloud computing sparked an explosion of entrepreneurship in enterprise software, but 15 years later, the situation has gotten out of hand, according to Asana CIO Saket Srivastava.
