In the digital age, we are all consumers of design. Every screen we look at, every device we interact with, every message or notification has all at some point been considered, tested and designed.

The Cloud is not a trend or a fad. Nor is it simply Silicon Valley’s flavour of the month. It has become, in fact, a fundamental part of the engineering that drives the world.

Delays, re-scheduled meetings, excuses—but secretly, no one at the organisation is really surprised.
