DIGITALISATION WORLD INTERVIEWS • 2023 • Issue 7 • Part 2

Database modernisation - time for a migration?
David Walker, Field CTO, EMEA, Yugabyte, the leading open source distributed SQL database company, warns of the problems associated with legacy databases, discusses the importance of database modernisation - covering the requirements, benefits and potential pitfalls of the migration process - and outlines the many advantages of migrating to open source cloud native databases.

Redefining risk
David Tattam, Chief Research and Content Officer and Co-Founder, Protecht, discusses the company's mission 'to redefine the way the world thinks about risk', with some engaging and informative insights as to how organisations can develop and grow an effective, dynamic risk management framework, with the people-related aspect - culture and conduct - at its core.

Looking under the covers at the 'legacy problem'
Robert Reuben, Managing Director of Proceed Group, provides some fascinating insights into 'the legacy problem' - how many companies struggle to understand the various interdependencies of their existing IT infrastructure, applications and data, at a significant financial and operational cost to the business; and proving a potentially significant obstacle to upgrading and optimising their IT environment for the demands of the digital age. Robert explains that it doesn't need to be this way!

Customer before code - digital transformation in the retail sector
John Godwin, VP of Retail UK at Intellias, shares some fantastic insights as to the key challenges and opportunities when it comes to implementing digital transformation strategies and solutions in the retail industry.

Regional clouds gather in Europe?
Jurg van Vliet, CEO of Aknostic, discusses the emergence of regional clouds within Europe, based on open source software and Kubernetes in particular, as an alternative to the large public cloud offerings. Trial projects are in progress to demonstrate the economic, environmental and societal benefits that such regional clouds can provide.

Refurbished IT makes environmental and economic sense
Nick Stapleton, Managing Director at ETB Technologies, explains how refurbished IT has a significant role to play in helping organisations meet's their sustainability goals, whilst also providing the kind of cost-savings which can mean the difference between an IT project getting the greenlight or being written off as too expensive to provision.

Next Opportunity

One of the major successes in 2023 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 11 December 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.
