We’ve been seeing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives being cut time and time again throughout the tech industry. DEIB dedicated roles have been eliminated, employee resource groups have lost funding, and initiatives once considered crucial have been deprioritised in favour of “more immediate business needs.” The justification for these cuts is often the same: Economic conditions are tough. Budgets are tight. We have to focus on the core business. But let us be clear, DEIB is not separate from business success. It is not a luxury, it is a fundamental driver of innova ..read more

The advertising industry is undergoing a seismic shift. Connected TV (CTV), Retail Media Networks (RMNs), and omnichannel strategies are rapidly redefining how brands engage with consumers.

Ensuring that the right data is collected − not just in terms of volume but in context and accuracy too − is paramount. Once this bad ..read more

One of the biggest barriers to widespread adoption is a severe talent gap. Many IT professionals lack hands-on VDI experience, as their careers begin with physical machines and increasingly shift toward cloud-based services. This shortage has created a vicious cycle where demand for VDI expertise grows while the pool of skilled professionals shrinks, leading to overburdened teams and slower issue resolution ..read more

Increased choice and a consumer more price sensitive than ever before, has made customers far more likely to shop around for the best deals. Price is now the number one factor in brand consideration. In an effort to bag a bargain, loyalty programs have become increasingly popular with consumers, with nine out of ten in the UK now signed up for at least one. This is unsurprising.

Loyalty apps are helping bring in a new era ..read more
