Read on p56 how SPH formed a unified cloud platform team focused on cloud governance and infrastructure deployment . of the next phase of its expansion – improving the performance of its tape to cloud migration services and meeting local data sovereignty needs .

In Get to Know , Vinay Samuel , CEO and founder , Zetaris , tells of turning down a million-dollar contract to take to his garage and build the world ’ s first analytical data fabric for enterprise reporting , analytics and AI .

That ’ s just a sample of what we ’ re serving up for September .

Have an innovative month . Make stuff happen .
