Adam Louca, Chief Technologist - Security
“Cyber security continues to be the number one priority for most organisations. This year, we’ve seen the first enforcement actions as part of GDPR, proving the ICO isn’t afraid to punish those falling short of the mark. Investing in security by design not only reduces risk but enables organisations to take advantage of new technologies more rapidly.”
Dean Gardner, Chief Technologist – Cloud
“The need for convenience and speed will shape the future of cloud as it adapts to the sheer amount of global data held. A hybrid cloud model will become the norm, helping organisations avoid vendor lock-in and stay agile in today’s fast-paced digital race.”
Adam Harding, Chief Technologist – End User Computing
“The intensifying war for talent and ongoing disruption from every angle means many organisations are focusing on improving employee engagement. Improving the digital workspace, is one the best ways businesses can both protect and amplify a culture which makes them appeal to new talent.”
Craig Lodzinski, Chief Technologist – Data and Emerging Technologies
“It’s surprising to see low interest in Big Data, IoT and AI but for many organisations, these aren’t “business as usual” technologies yet. Instead, organisations continue to prioritise “utility” services which are essential for day-to-day operations. However, recent developments mean emerging technologies are becoming easier to adopt and as such, we expect investment to grow over the next few years as industry catches up.”
