Technology. Beyond the hype
Original documentary films exploring the decisions shaping the future of technology
Technology is changing faster than ever—but meaningful conversations about its impact are becoming increasingly difficult.
In partnership with Dark Matter, HPE UK has created a series of original documentary films exploring the technologies, trends and decisions shaping the future of Enterprise IT.
Featured documentary
Perfect Storm
Navigating the forces reshaping Enterprise Technology
Today's organisations face a convergence of technology challenges unlike anything before. AI, changing cloud economics, evolving infrastructure, digital sovereignty and increasing complexity are forcing leaders to rethink long-held assumptions. Perfect Storm is the latest documentary from Dark Matter, sponsored by HPE, exploring how organisations can cut through the noise, regain control and build resilient strategies for the future.
Why we make these films
Technology is transforming every organisation but the biggest technology decisions can't be made through marketing alone. That's why HPE UK has partnered with Dark Matter to create an ongoing series of documentary films that bring together diverse voices from across industry, academia and government. By exploring different perspectives and encouraging open debate we hope these films help decision makers to better understand the opportunities, challenges and trade-offs shaping the future of technology.
