In today’s com­pet­i­tive busi­ness cli­mate, merg­ers and acqui­si­tions have become a key com­po­nent of many growth strate­gies. Glob­al­i­sa­tion, acqui­si­tion of new prod­ucts and ser­vices, and enhanced cus­tomer foot­prints are all oppor­tu­ni­ties that come with merg­ers and acquisitions.But M&A is not without…

Data has become a com­pet­i­tive advan­tage, help­ing busi­ness­es antic­i­pate and react to change. But with data in mul­ti­ple for­mats and loca­tions, costs quick­ly add up and exper­tise becomes a lim­it­ing fac­tor, forc­ing busi­ness­es to fall back on spread­sheets and dis­con­nect­ed data­bas­es. The cloud has…

Con­tain­ers are a fas­ci­nat­ing and some­times con­tro­ver­sial top­ic in the IT world. Some of the most pow­er­ful com­pa­nies rely on them implic­it­ly in pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ments. But do con­tain­ers pose a poten­tial secu­ri­ty risk? And where do they fit into cloud archi­tec­ture? Cloud con­tain­er tech­nol­o­gy is a…

AI mod­els get more accu­rate all the time, but even the data sci­en­tists who built them can’t explain why — and that’s a prob­lem. AI-dri­ven algo­rithms are now a dai­ly part of near­ly everyone’s lives. We’ve all grown used to machines sug­gest­ing a new series to binge on Net­flix, anoth­er per­son to follow…

Cre­at­ing a top-notch employ­ee expe­ri­ence is the focus of many employ­ers. After all, a hap­py employ­ee is a pro­duc­tive employ­ee. But make no mis­take: An employ­ee who has the right com­put­er, soft­ware and acces­sories is going to be the most pro­duc­tive. If you have employ­ees using slow PCs that…

There is a direct link between con­tent, cus­tomer expe­ri­ence and busi­ness results. How busi­ness­es man­age their con­tent mat­ters — sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Cloud-native CMS plat­forms are enabling small-to-medi­um-sized enter­pris­es to inno­vate and scale their busi­ness at a rate nev­er seen before. What elements…

Cus­tomers nowa­days have high expec­ta­tions when it comes to decid­ing which com­pa­ny to choose — and stick with. In addi­tion to dif­fi­cult-to-please cus­tomers, key busi­ness objec­tives are shift­ing to reflect a focus on effi­cien­cy, cost sav­ings and doing more with less. So how can you suc­ceed in…

Digi­ti­sa­tion enables work­forces to be more respon­sive and pro­duc­tive, but there’s no one-size-fits-all solu­tion for dig­i­tal­ly trans­form­ing oper­a­tions. And, where con­sumer-style mobile devices suf­fice for some indus­tries, oth­ers require ded­i­cat­ed tech­nol­o­gy that serves a spe­cif­ic pur­pose. But what…

In the facil­i­ties man­age­ment indus­try, expe­ri­ences are help­ing busi­ness­es to stand out from their com­peti­tors, as poten­tial cus­tomers have an increas­ing demand for a bun­dled or ful­ly inte­grat­ed out­sourc­ing of their facil­i­ty man­age­ment ser­vices. Cus­tomers expect their ser­vice provider to take a…

Ran­somware has emerged as a per­va­sive threat to man­u­fac­tur­ing oper­a­tions. It can cause plant down­time, and tar­get­ed attacks have always tak­en down mul­ti­ple plants at once, so attack­ers were able to extort high ran­som pay­ments. Man­u­fac­tur­ing is one of the most tar­get­ed indus­tries, and attacks…

Busi­ness­es around the globe are deal­ing with a mul­ti­tude of issues stem­ming from an eco­nom­ic retrac­tion. From ris­ing infla­tion and ener­gy costs to the reper­cus­sions of the pan­dem­ic to sup­ply chain dis­rup­tions to a short­age of tal­ent in the labour mar­ket. As a result of these mar­ket shifts, we’re…
