James Moore, VP EMEA Sales at DoiT International, is featured in CRN as partners react to Amazon Web Services (AWS) €7.8bn investment into European sovereign cloud What does this mean for your business as an AWS partner? "We are thrilled that AWS plans to invest €7.8bn in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud by 2040. We support thousands of European businesses across an array of highly regulated industries, such as healthcare, financial services and the public sector, so the new Sovereign Cloud will allow us to provide additional support to our customers in these demanding industries." Are you prepared for the extra investment in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud? "Following the strategic collaboration agreement that we signed with AWS in November last year, DoiT is committed to additional investments in Europe, especially countries where new AWS European Sovereign Cloud regions are planned. We will also be continuing to invest in local programmes and staff alongside the launch of these new regions." Have you been receiving more questions around European data sovereignty from customers? "Security, compliance and data residency are common topics amongst our existing and future customers, which we address jointly with AWS via our 200 engineers, legal and compliance teams. The uncertainty around data transfer outside the European Union in the last few years has resulted in increased questions about this topic. At DoiT, we're pleased to see the additional investment from AWS give customers more choice of their data residency." See the full article

13 May 2024, London: This Mental Health Awareness Week, new research from BT has uncovered widespread anxiety among business leaders about the pace of technological change in the workplace. Nearly 9 in 10 (86%) company directors and executives report suffering from ‘bytemares’: tech-related stress that’s severe enough to disrupt their sleep – with security and AI the top causes. BT estimates the resulting tech paralysis could cost the economy £11.79 billion by 2030*, as many small businesses right up to large multinationals opt to defer investment in tech transformation. To help tackle this, BT is teaming up with ex-Dragon Sarah Willingham and meditation guru Izzy Judd, to arm business leaders with the mental tools to take on worries around tech transformation head on. Together they’ve created The Business Reboot, a series of tech-inspired guided meditations, designed to help businesses of all sizes, and their employees, to hit the reset button before facing up to the tech challenges of the day. #bt #btgroup #mentalhealth #health
