The digital revolution is changing our lives, and the move to a hybrid working environment has enormous implications for data management, security and compliance.

In today’s world, a hybrid, multi-cloud environment is nothing new—most companies have been moving workloads to SaaS applications and the cloud for years.

But recently, as companies created remote working environments nearly overnight, the move to the cloud has shifted to warp speed.

With a predicted 74 zettabytes of data being created globally in 2021, there are a few burning questions corporations are having to consider:

• How do you deal with all the data you (and others) generate?
• How can your data help you uncover new opportunities?

• Can you analyse the vast amounts of data you collect every day?

• Can you comply with new & existing regulations?

Balancing the need to analyse, identify, classify, preserve, and protect all of your data while still respecting governance and privacy mandates takes significant effort and is becoming ever more challenging in the age of the cloud.

Join us with networking drinks to discuss with peers how these questions are being addressed, and how we are all adapting to change in regards to data lifecycle management in the digital era.
