Most of the young people had no prior exposure to AWS tools or architectures. It was so impressive seeing the way they learned.

Why cloud-based analytics make your business data more productive

Customer-focused digital strategy to transcend crisis thinking
Digital user experience is the marketplace battleground of the future. To be competitive, your business needs solutions that are flexible and scalable as well as robust.

When a company has to scale up their operations quickly, it’s a simple, inexpensive process for cloud adopters; a process that can even be automated. Tasks that traditionally took weeks with on-premises systems take only minutes in a modern cloud environment.
Involve your team in digital transformation, leverage data and grow your business
If you invest in a new digital platform, but your team isn’t trained on using it correctly, its value is severely diminished. For example, your CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform is only as valuable as the data that’s in it. It’s vital to capture implicit data from all channels then link this to customer identities, so you can measure engagement and propensity to purchase. All of these elements, when working together in unison, can create a great performance model.
Digital transformation: first steps toward sustainable growth
Technologies like cloud computing, AI (Artificial Intelligence) personalisation and automation are the foundation of the world’s most successful companies. But these technologies are now essential to survival for any business because, without them, it will be impossible to compete sustainably.
How do we manage cybersecurity in the COVID-19 remote work era?

One prominent issue exposed by the remote work surge is the need to re-examine cybersecurity: specifically how security and IAM (Identity & Access Management) needs to evolve to encompass the change.
