Over the last five years, there has been a significant transformation in the business systems and IT landscapes that IT teams are required to manage.

CIOs: Don't let the cost of cloud migration hold you back
In 2024, one fact is clear: The cloud aids business success. Cloud migration isn't just an operational upgrade but a highly strategic financial strategy capable of unlocking up to $1 trillion in business value.

Most organizations have caught on to these benefits. Today, more than half of all corporate data exists in the cloud, up from 30 percent in 2015.

The Deep Tech revolution -- Part 4: Tutorials and demos
How do you explain something completely disruptive and possibly complex to someone? How do you make them understand that this new paradigm or groundbreaking technology that they have never heard of is going to be a game changer for them or their company? That's often something difficult to communicate, especially for Deep Tech companies looking to disrupt entire industries with their work. Introducing new and improved ways of doing something people have grown familiar with, might be even harder to achieve if you have to change people's beliefs and long established habits.
Technology lives on continuous development and innovation, but sometimes announcing big changes to the public, even the core technical audience one would expect with Deep Tech companies, requires an ‘educational’ approach. That's easy to say, much harder to achieve.
