As we roll into the first full business week of 2023, it’s a good time to consider what’s likely to take place in the data and analytics arena this year. Like in past years, as 2022 came to a close, public relations folks happily shared with me industry predictions from their client’s brightest tech leaders and executives.

That’s what I’ve done here and, as a result, present this year’s predictions broken down by: the impact of the economy on the world of data and analytics; how automation will impact the data arena; the role of data governance, data security and access; how the Data Mesh approach to analytics will play out this year; the importance of data sharing; the emergence of data observability; data and analytics’ impact on the cloud (and vice versa); trends in containers and Kubernetes; and, of course, what is to come in the realm of artificial intelligence.

In the coming year, we’ll see more organizations laying these foundations of democratizing data access and/or strengthening their Data Mesh framework through Data Products.”

In addition to data products, sharing of data, more broadly speaking, looks to be a growing priority in 2023.
