Main Features

DW talks to Travelex about their digital transformation programme
Hans van der Waal, Global IT Director, Travelex discusses the company’s ambitious digital transformation programme as it looks to enhance its bricks and mortar business activities with more digital offerings. He explains the challenges of migrating global legacy IT infrastructure into the cloud, and outlines the many benefits that Travelex has realised so far on its digitalisation journey.

Sustainability – time for a revolution? Part 1
Pankaj Sharma, Schneider Electric's Global Executive Vice President, Secure Power Division, discusses the sustainability gap, with too many organisations talking up their environmental credentials, but failing to implement the necessary actions.

Delivering a digital data centre model
Steen Dalgas, Senior Cloud Economist, Nutanix, discusses the findings of a report the company recently sponsored, which examines the impact of data centre models on energy efficiency and carbon footprint. The good news is that there are plenty of innovation options available to deliver measurable benefits, not least the opportunity of hyperconverged infrastructure.

AI’s image problem - Fivetran
Guro Bakkeng Bergan, VP and GM EMEA at Fivetran, discusses a recent Vanson Bourne report, conducted on behalf of Fivetran, which reveals that almost all companies recognise the importance of AI and, therefore, have plans to invest in the technology, but at the same time do not completely trust it, and also experience difficulty obtaining the data sets which are the ‘raw ingredients’ of successful AI implementations.

Early warning system acts as cybersecurity ‘decoy’
Cesar Cid de Rivera, INTL VP of Systems Engineering at Commvault, discusses the cybersecurity landscape in depth, as well as outlining Commvault’s Metallic ThreatWise solution, an innovative approach to combatting the bad actors.

The HEAT is on when it comes to cybersecurity
Mark Guntrip, Senior Director, Cybersecurity Strategy at Menlo Security, discusses his company’s recent ransomware research report, highlighting the ways in which the cybercriminals are getting smarter, and outlining some of the ways in which end users can optimise a multi-layered cyber-defence strategy.

Hybrid working 2.0 is here – don’t panic!
Neil Patel, Director, European Marketing & Business Development, and Alan Jones, Consumer Solutions & Marketing Manager, UK&I, both at D-Link Europe Ltd, discuss the practicalities of hybrid working, with particular reference to ways in which the home office can be upgraded to ensure an optimised, secure IT environment which, in turn, will lead to an optimised employee experience.

Fulfilling the promise of DevSecOps
Prashanth Nanjundappa, VP of Product Management, Progress, discusses the findings of the company’s recent DevSecOps report – the good news is that everyone recognises the benefits of combining DevOps and Security; however, many organisations have more work to do when it comes to putting in place the necessary collaboration, skills and management building blocks that are key to DevSecOps’ success.

Storage futures – it’s all about the data
Dr. J Metz, Chair SNIA Board of Directors and Scott Shadley, Chair SNIA Communications Steering Committee, discuss the association’s plans for the coming year, which include work on SDXI, computational storage, DNA data storage, SNIA Swordfish™, SNIA Emerald™ and sustainability. They also provide some fascinating insight into how they see the industry developing over time.

Next Opportunity

One of the major successes in 2022 for clients of Digitalisation World has been our recorded video interviews. With an average audience of well over 1000 viewers per interview, we can see how well appreciated they are by our readership.

While most of the video interviews have been purely editorial - the topics and participants chosen by our editor, Philip Alsop - we are being asked by more and more companies to produce specific video interview packages.

Against this background, we are delighted to offer VIDEO INTERVIEW PACKAGES

If you'd like to guarantee inclusion, and also have a valuable asset to use as and where you want into the future, we highly recommend that you consider the VIDEO INTERVIEW PACKAGE, which works as follows:

Choose the topic that you wish to take leadership in. Whether you'd like to promote a product or service or to discuss some of the current industry issues, we will work with you to produce a 30-minute video.
Following an initial discussion, our editor will produce a set of agreed questions for sharing ahead of the interview and share the Zoom recording link.
Once the interview has been recorded via Zoom, this is sent off for editing, including your company logo, and the edited video is then shared with you for the amends/approval process.
Once signed off, the video will be included in the next DW Video Issue, on the DW website, and we will give you the original source file, so you can promote via social media.

The next DW Video Issue will be produced and go live on the 14 June 2023. Contact us to find out how you can be involved.

You will still have the usual opportunity to submit editorial articles and comment pieces, free of charge, to be considered for inclusion in the digital magazine and/or on the DW website.
