The Internet of Things (IoT), has quickly moved from concept to reality. It’s enabling all kinds of exciting insight and automation that not only makes our lives easier, but often enriches them too. Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) like controls and objects are coming together like never before.
Earlier this month I was delighted to once again attend the incredible Dell Technologies World, the industry giant’s annual conference. An event that attracts an audience on a global scale, it was somewhat fitting that it should be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, a city famed for its themed hotels and attractions inspired by major cities from all over the world.
In recent times, we’ve seen a change in the way our customers are working. They’re extending beyond the boundaries of traditional infrastructure, with an influx of IoT-ready and mobile devices creating a huge increase in the number of access points at the far reaches of their network and with that a pool of additional data that could yield business value.
Last month I was fortunate enough to travel to sunny San Diego, California, home of many of the world’s most esteemed technology vendors, for a major cloud summit. It was a privilege to represent Highlander, one of only three UK partners in attendance, and gain some incredible insights into the future of cloud and the strategies and practices already taking effect in the US, which could very soon be making their presence felt back here in the UK.

Last month, I was once again fortunate enough to attend Microsoft’s biggest partner and customer event of the year in the UK – Microsoft Future Decoded. Hosted at ExCel London, tens of thousands joined me in hearing Microsoft’s thoughts and predictions about how the future of our industry is evolving and what we can do to make the most of the ground-breaking technologies shaping it.
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending NetSuite’s annual end of year event, “SuiteConnect”, in Park Lane, London. It was Highlander’s first time visiting the conference, but we were so impressed by the lively, energetic, and highly informative occasion that it certainly won’t be the last.
I had the privilege of visiting Barcelona earlier this week to attend Canalys’ highly-regarded Channels Forum at the Hotel Arts on the city’s beautiful seafront. While the Spanish weather was not so much sunny as it was stormy, and besides getting soaked on the way to and from the conference, our MD Steve Brown and I had a fantastic time getting to grips with the latest insights into the future of IT and Technology.
