The way people shop online and in stores is changing. Large retailers are trying new ways to make search, product discovery and support feel more fluid and more personalised. The Australian retail group Wesfarmers unveiled a partnership with Google Cloud designed to do just that, using advanced AI tools to build a new customer experience […]
Alphabet’s expanding AI cloud infrastructure push shows how demand is putting real pressure on the systems that power enterprise computing. Hyperscale providers are responding by sharply increasing spending on compute capacity, but supply remains tight as AI workloads grow faster than data centre buildouts. Alphabet’s latest earnings call offered a clear window into that tension. […]
AI is starting to change how large organisations use cloud data platforms. What began as a way to store information cheaply and scale analytics has become central to reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence. The shift now is not where data lives in the cloud, but who can work with it and how quickly insights can […]
If you are a security leader, you will need to be able to answer the following questions: where is your sensitive data? Who can access it? And is it being used safely? In the age of generative AI, it’s increasingly becoming a struggle to answer all three. An October whitepaper from Concentric AI outlines the […]
Large financial institutions rarely overhaul their technology in one dramatic move. Change tends to happen in stages, with systems gradually shifted, consolidated, and refined over time. Nationwide Building Society’s expanded cloud services partnership with AWS fits squarely into that pattern. Rather than signalling a new direction, the agreement reflects a decision to go further down […]
China’s cloud market is entering a new phase, shaped less by basic storage and more by who can support large AI workloads at scale. Established providers still dominate, but the list of serious contenders is starting to change. ByteDance, long tied to consumer apps like TikTok and Douyin, is now making a clearer push into […]
Cross-tenant migration is often perceived as a purely technical task. In reality, it is one of the most sensitive governance operations in modern cloud environments. When organisations move data between tenants, they are transferring content and redefining how identities, permissions, applications, and collaboration models interact. For enterprise IT teams, this makes cross-tenant migration a high-risk, […]
The cloud is no longer treated as a place to experiment. For many enterprises, it has become the default environment for running AI systems that support daily work. That shift, more than any headline figure, explains why cloud spending continues to climb. Instead of short trials or isolated pilots, AI workloads are now tied to […]
For many European organisations, cloud decisions are no longer just about cost, scale, or performance. As companies assess options such as Amazon’s sovereign cloud, choices are increasingly shaped by questions of control: where data sits, who can access it, and how exposed critical systems are to foreign laws and political pressure. That tension helps explain […]
Building autonomous vehicles is no longer just a question of sensors and software. It has become a test of how well companies can manage vast amounts of data, run large-scale simulations, and validate safety across millions of scenarios before a vehicle ever reaches the road. For automotive firms working on self-driving systems, the ability to […]
