Humankind has enjoyed chess for centuries, with its humble roots dating as far as 500 C.E. Because of the volume of people who play it, its rules and forms have changed across the years, too. Today, chess is not merely played with a wooden board and carefully crafted pieces. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, the rooks, bishops, pawns, knights, queens, and kings of the beloved game have found their way to the virtual screen and supercomputers. The game’s name has changed forever, posing questions regarding the extent of the influence of AI on chess and what it means for human skill an ..read more

Once upon a time, running workloads on public cloud IaaS services was cutting-edge. So were IT operations teams that understood how to deploy, monitor, and secure the VM-based monoliths that operated in those cloud environments. But those days are gone. Today, businesses are moving from “classic” IaaS services to full-on “cloud-native” environments. They’re replacing VMs and monoliths with containers and microservices, which they deploy across clusters of distributed nodes and orchestrate using tools like Kubernetes. In a cloud-native world, the IT operations strategies that worked when IaaS w ..read more

Since the World Wide Web came around in the 1990s, the role of a web developer has become more critical, busier and in higher demand. Especially as technology develops at an exponential rate, developers desperately need a solution that will ensure they have the appropriate tools they need to create and maintain websites – from the technical aspects all the way to content. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was once the revolutionary answer to this. When RPA was introduced, developers gained the ability to automate different procedures and work functions with digital workers – also known as bots ..read more

A research study by The National Center for Women & Information Technology showed that “gender diversity has specific benefits in technology settings,” which could explain why tech companies have started to invest in initiatives that aim to boost the number of female applicants, recruit them in a more effective way, retain them for longer, and give them the opportunity to advance. But is it enough? Four years ago, we launched a diversity series aimed at bringing the most inspirational and powerful women in the tech scene to your attention. Today, we’d like you to meet Akila Narai ..read more

It is not an exaggeration to say that artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. In the business world, AI is an undeniable force, driving disruption and transforming industries as diverse as manufacturing, finance, retail, and healthcare. Google, Alexa, and Siri, meanwhile, have now become an almost indispensable part of everyday life for anyone with a smartphone or a computer (and let’s face it, that’s just about everyone). While AI is already delivering all sorts of benefits today, its potential to shape the future is perhaps even greater. It’s the reason so many companies are focused on s ..read more

Enterprise data is growing – no surprise there. It is the current rate of data growth that is truly astounding. In 2010, the amount of data created, consumed and stored was 2 zettabytes, according to Statista. Firms like IDC have been predicting explosive growth overall in data over the next few years: from 64.2 ZB of data in 2020 to 175 ZB in 2025. That’s nearly three times growth in five years. Roughly 80% of all data is unstructured: file and object data including documents, medical images, video and audio files, design data, research data and sensor data. By some estimates less than 5% of ..read more

Digital transformation is well underway, with tech teams around the world hitting the ground running to try to update their organisation’s digital experiences at the rate that consumers demand. The way enterprises have integrated technology slowly, over time, means that many have a sprawling web of half-fit for purpose apps behind the scenes that could be improved, updated, or cut altogether. Modernisation requires a healthy dose of elbow grease – not quite as simple as tapping ‘update’ in the app store. A thorough assessment of an organisation’s systems could potentially reveal that there are ..read more
