Tech Journal Letter From the Editor

Having gone through a few years of drastic change in the way we work and live, the post-pandemic period has heralded a new era of business. While nothing ever stands still of course, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, fluctuation in the world economies and political events have had a profound impact on how organisations can be successful. Every change presents challenges and opportunities, but as a business it is important to understand as well as learn from them to adapt and succeed in years to come. As a Fortune 500 solutions integrator, we work with many businesses and help them navigate change by supporting their IT transformation journey. As such, we are seeing some phenomenal technology adoption and transformation stories, and are witnessing organisations that really understand their employees, market and industry needs.

In this context, we have dedicated the latest issue of Tech Journal EMEA to the “New Era of Work” – what it looks like for companies, the opportunities it presents and the technologies that can support those new or adapted business objectives. It features an in-depth interview with EMEA President of Insight, Emma de Sousa, about her views on the “New Era of Work” and her predictions for the next 12 months, as well as views from Insight’s General Managers across Europe as to how workplaces are transforming regionally. In this edition, experts discuss technologies such as Intelligent Edge and the Metaverse that have the potential to drive strategies and business success, and Angela Hughes, EMEA HR and People Leadership Director at Insight discusses the “War for Talent” and how organisations can adjust their recruitment. Insight EMEA Director of Talent, Karen Radford, looks at how the hybrid workspace set-up impacts employee career progression, and how companies can ensure the same opportunities are offered in hybrid working as in office working environments.

We hope you enjoy the read!
