Last month we tuned into the annual Microsoft Inspire event to find out what’s instore in the world of tech transformation. As always Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft’s keynote was immense! He spoke about the huge impact of the pandemic on technology. In Satya’s words “every company will need to be a technology company”. In this era of change, tech is key to remaining resilient and to maintaining growth. This article shares an insight into the future of tech.
COVID-19 – a catalyst for change

Digital technology has and will continue to be crucial to resilience and transformation as a society and in business.
