Keeping Pace with Innovation, Chronologically and Economically
Today's digital evolution will take major enterprises twice as long and cost twice as much as initially anticipated. They will likely struggle with digital innovation as they realize the associated challenges and costs within modernization. As such, smaller and more agile organizations have a great opportunity to be first to market, while larger organizations suffer through uninspiring immediate benefits.
Takeaways:
- Digital innovation is not cheap or quick
- How can your organization best plan for implementation?
- Smaller organizations tend to have an easier time testing out new technology

2020: The year of perfect vision? How's it going so far?
Hindsight is 20/20 vision, as the old saying goes: it's always easy to know what the right course of action was after something has happened, but much harder to predict the future.
At the beginning of the year we were going to discuss with you our predictions for Cyber Security in 2020. Join us three months later and see us analyzing our initial predictions, but also reviewing how working environments have changed in light of the global pandemic and the impact this has made on the Cyber Security landscape.

The New CIO Playbook - How to Weather the Post COVID-19 Storm
According to a Fortune 500 Survey from May 2020, 75% of CEOs expect an acceleration of their companies' technology transformation as we start to re-open the global economy. As a result, CIOs will need to lead this work with a completely different playbook.
CIOs need to not only help resume "business as usual" while looking for cost savings, but also enable their enterprise for growth. In the 'New Normal,' virtual agile development, security, free cash by moving towards OPEX, automation, and implementing a cloud strategy will all help reduce IT spend. Both SaaS delivery of applications and data-driven decision making will fuel growth.

Work is Something We Do, Not Somewhere We Go
Business continuity and agile working has become a board room discussion and priority over recent years for a number of reasons.
