CIOs must convert sustainability sentiment into IT infrastructure impact ♻️🕒 According to Alison Matte – Sustainability Lead of EcoStruxure IT at Schneider Electric – the market has seemingly passed the why test with flying colours. Today, ESG focus is centred on: 👩🏽 Who in the organisation reports? 📝 What is actually reported? 📊 How granular can and must the reporting be? By 2027, 80% of CIOs will have performance metrics tied to the sustainability of the IT organisation. For 25%, compensation will also be directly tied to the impact of sustainable technology 🎯 “Whether owned or outsourced, at the end of the day, CIOs must know the IT footprint of their organisation," Matte advised. But less than half of executives (43%) are currently aware of their organisation’s IT footprint 👀 A compelling assessment of IT infrastructure challenges preventing businesses from actioning environmental ambitions ⬇️ In conversation with Cherry Yumul in Barcelona ✍️ #InspiredKnowledge

Tian Beng Ng has a simple mantra in business and life… always lead from the front 🎯 In ending his successful tenure at Dell Technologies, TB leaves behind a legacy unrivalled in length or impact.

Optimising Observability: Securing Corporate Defences in Australia 👀 🔐 An engaging and enlightening Executive Roundtable with leading IT and cyber security executives in Sydney – hosted in partnership with Cisco, Splunk, Natilik and Moxie Insights. Australian businesses have long been targeted by bad actors – compounded by an expanding attack surface area and rapid spike in highly sophisticated breaches 🆘 That is a well-established narrative within the corridors of corporate power yet despite such acknowledgement, organisations remain out of step on cyber security.

To repatriate, or not to repatriate. Is that now the question in Australia? ☁️ 🇦🇺 According to Allan King… “if I had used the word ‘repatriation’ three years ago, I would have been labelled as a data centre bigot” 🗄️ Today however, the topic requires intellectual debate. But opinions differ on the analyst front: 🗄️ IDC: 80% of businesses expect some level of repatriation of compute and storage resources during next 12 months. ☁️ Gartner: Public cloud end-user spending will eclipse $1 trillion before 2030. Closer to home – and regardless of environment – the no.1 priority for Australian organisations currently is cost control and expense management 💵 that’s according to #MoxieResearch 💯 For King – speaking as MD of Infront Systems in Canberra – the cloud pendulum has swung and landed somewhere in the middle ⚖️ “Is this workload fit for cloud? No, then run it on-premises. Yes, then build it for cloud and run it that way.” A deep-dive into repatriation appetite, cloud governance challenges, FinOps importance and optimisation best practice ⬇️ In conversation with James Henderson ✍️ #InspiredKnowledge #MoxieTopMinds
