Our coverage 

InformationWeek specializes in news analysis and in-depth examinations of crucial issues that IT executives are devoted to—such as our special coverage of the cloud computing outages that impact businesses worldwide. 

We look at news events across the world and see how they impact IT operations, IT strategy, and IT professionals today and in the future, helping forward-thinking executives stay ahead—for example, our coverage of how the war in Ukraine impacted cloud service providers and IT supply chain; and how the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade impacted enterprise data collection and privacy controls. We help IT executives investigate the opportunities of emerging technologies while weighing their risks. We speak with enterprise IT leaders about their work, and hear from the leading tech companies changing how they do business. 

Whether it’s management challenges, staff shortages, software development, customer experience, supply chain issues, climate change/sustainability, business resilience, cybersecurity, IT modernization, cloud migration, or cost overruns that have you concerned, we’ve got it covered. 

While InformationWeek embraces innovation, when it comes to generative AI, we have a strict policy guided by our trusted editors.
