As one year comes to a close, it’s natural to look ahead with anticipation of what the new one will bring. No matter your age, there’s something about rolling over the calendar that makes us take stock of our lives, reset goals, and make a plan for the year ahead. That applies to companies, too. For instance, one of the oldest names in computing is hoping to shape the future of, well, everything.
