the-case-for-digital-transformation-as-the-foundation-of-exceptional-customer-service

What is digital pathology, and how is it helping the Healthcare sector realise the full potential of its data?

what-is-digital-pathology-and-how-is-it-helping-the-healthcare-sector-realise-the-full-potential-of-its-data

The healthcare sector generates higher volumes of patient data on a daily basis than ever before - all of which conceals a rich vein of opportunities to optimise efficiency and enhance patient care. The demand for more efficient diagnosis and more effective management of data has naturally led to the rise of digital pathology and - in turn - the Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) that underpin these initiatives.

sustainability-and-social-responsibility-in-the-aec-sector
Adopting a more sustainable, environmentally friendly approach to projects is a critical priority for the UK's AEC sector, both due to the launch of manifestos such as Architects Declare and Construction Declares, and growing recognition of the BREEAM standard - which set out clear sustainability goals for the sector - and growing environmental awareness amongst both businesses and the general public.

Retail 4.0: How technology is driving the move from products to experiences

retail-4-0-how-technology-is-driving-the-move-from-products-to-experiences
For a number of years now, the evolution of the Retail sector has typically been positioned as brick-and-mortar shops - including many longstanding fixtures of UK highstreets - fighting a losing battle against online retailers, such as the seemingly monolithic Amazon. However, the reality of the situation is not quite so clear cut…

The Retail sector is fundamentally changing, and technology has a critical role to play

The past decade has been a challenging one for the Retail sector, to say the least. Much has already been written about the impact of online shopping and streaming services on the high street, and the rise of COVID-19 and recent supply chain disruptions have only compounded the challenges facing even the most established brick-and-mortar retailers.

From routine surveillance to transformational service quality: Why retailers are embracing the next generation of integrated CCTV

from-routine-surveillance-to-transformational-service-quality-why-retailers-are-embracing-the-next-generation-of-integrated-cctv
For many years, retailers' CCTV systems and IT infrastructure have operated in relative isolation, competing for space and resources whilst never utilising the full potential of their combined power. The good news is that next-generation IT infrastructure is increasingly bridging this gap, in order to reduce costs, simplify infrastructure, and allow retailers to access a range of actionable data streams through AI and analytics.

The true meaning of digital transformation (it’s more than just reorganisation and technology)

the-true-meaning-of-digital-transformation-its-more-than-just-reorganisation-and-technology

After several years of serious global upheaval, it is clear that resilience, agility, and the ability to adapt to the unexpected are critical priorities for all organisations – regardless of size or sector. However, this accelerated pace of change has, in many cases, revealed the limitations of existing IT services. With an increasing emphasis on on-demand services and a highly fluid workforce, legacy services and their systems often struggle to support new propositions and customers' evolving needs, which will – in turn – make maintaining a competitive advantage difficult, if not near impossible.

Understanding the Five Time Thieves and Retaking Control of Your Most Precious Resource

understanding-the-five-time-thieves-and-retaking-control-of-your-most-precious-resource

We're all trying to do more with less, whether that's making our monthly shop go further and reducing our utilities consumption at home or doing more with our organisations' available budgets and resources in our professional lives. But while getting the most out of the resources we have available is certainly admirable and sensible, our most precious resource – one that we cannot replenish once it's been used – is all-too-frequently neglected: our time.
