As most may have guessed, cloud skills are particularly lucrative, with IT professionals in the United States commanding approximately $168,000 annually.

Often, they don’t budget enough and either don’t find the expertise they need or hire lower-skilled talent and…

Digital transformation (DX) is one of those buzzwords that we don’t understand. It also applies to most IT transformation projects. So let’s look at the best definition of DX: me. Digital transformation refers to the systematization of computer-based systems into an organization’s products, processes and strategies. The basic idea is to bring value back to the business by better engaging the workforce, customers and the customer’s customers. The desired outcome is to drive greater operational efficiency, cost optimization and clear innovations that will define the future of business. DX is an important thing. This is really important.
