Data movement is strategic. Data movement is often treated like plumbing, but it has strategic consequences. If the data cannot move well, the business cannot either. Cirata can help your enterprise get your data "unstuck" and ready your enterprise for the next phase.

The best disaster recovery strategy is the one you never have to explain after an outage. Resilience is built before the disruption, not after. Cirata can help prioritize and deliver DR strategies to prepare your organization for a potential outage. tinyurl.com/yc4ttuam

Inspiring UK TECH unicorns to list here! As I've been saying for nearly a decade. The UK Government (Theresa May) should never have allowed SoftBank to buy Arm Holdings! x.com/AlanJLSmith/st… @Frencheconomics

£400bn — the UK public sector's annual spend. £20bn — what government spends on tech each year. 90% — the share that flows to Big Tech. This money should be working for British industry, British jobs, and British innovation. tinyurl.com/3dra426a

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

The future belongs to adaptable companies. Markets change too quickly for rigid systems and rigid thinking. Adaptability is becoming a core advantage, both in leadership and in infrastructure. How adaptable is your organization today?

@AdmiralUK You website is down. Your chat, messaging not working and contact centre closed. Surely car insurance has to be available 24x7 - What is the back up for customers?

We're still seeing a high volume of these scam accounts, please check that you're really speaking to us. Our username is @AdmiralUK and we have a gold checkmark verification badge. We will never ask you to follow us back or ask you to provide bank details.

Friday data fact: AI productivity gains aren't all hype, they're measurable. Marketing output: 50%+ Software development: 26%+ Customer support: 14-15% But here's the nuance worth paying attention to: gains shrink on tasks requiring deeper reasoning. cirata.com

Chelsea Flower Show isn’t just about the show itself — the nearby streets come alive with stunning floral displays from local retailers and pubs. The Kings Road is in bloom. But nothing beats David Bowie recreated in flowers. 🌼 #ChelseaFlowerShow

Cloud concentration has consequences. When too much critical infrastructure depends on too few providers, resilience becomes harder to manage. Concentration may feel efficient in the short term, but it creates real strategic risk over time. tinyurl.com/526fezxu

That’s a wrap on a packed day — AGM, investor meetings, and back-to-back customer calls. Now for a change of scene: heading out to meet family and friends for drinks 🍻 & the last home game of what’s been a… let’s say eventful Chelsea season. 💙 #CHETOT #WinOrLoseFollowTheBlues

Great to attend our company AGM today — a valuable opportunity to connect with shareholders, both in the formal proceedings and in the conversations that happen over coffee in the sidelines before and after the AGM.

Applaud @togethercoalit supporting communities, coming together, connections, compassion, kindness. It's time to have your say on the country you want to see - join the National Conversation - how do we want to live well and what brings us together? thenationalconversation.org.uk

A major new research project by the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion is trying to address the problem of increasingly fractured communities. Project chair Sir Sajid Javid and playwright James Graham discuss the social cohesion crisis.

At a time when we've gone from understanding to blaming, from agreements to agendas, it can feel like no one's listening. The National Conversation gives you a say on the country you want to see. Have your say: thenationalconversation.org.uk

Modernization should create options. A good data strategy gives a business more flexibility, not less. It should reduce lock-in, increase choice, and make future change easier. Are your data investments giving you more or fewer options? #DataStrategy #DataInvestments

Johnny, Johnny Stones serenaded by Manchester City fans. What an outstanding player he’s been for them, on so many occasions, 17 trophies, 294 games, 19 goals, and most memorably the 2023 Champions League final in Istanbul when he bestrode midfield. #MCFC

Leadership is about focus. The temptation in fast-moving markets is to chase everything. The better move is to stay focused on the few priorities that actually change the business. How do you keep focus when everything feels urgent? #Leadership #BusinessStrategy
