The War for Talent is Opening New Fronts
Nathan Knight, the VP & MD ANZ for Hitachi Vantara, is determined to find and develop the talent his business needs. There's a jobs boom on in Australia in many sectors, and this means a war for talent. Not just acquiring talent, but retaining it, too. Hitachi Ventara's ANZ VP and MD is Nathan Knight, and he knows there is a huge unmet demand for particular types of skills and experience. His plan is to go well outside traditional recruiting grounds and reframe the challenge as a new investment.
the SaaS of agreements
DocuSign seems like they have been around forever. In tech terms they probably have. And while that means the brand is well known for its secure signatures, it also means we probably don't think about what else DocuSign can do. When I caught up with Kamal Hathi, the company's Global CTO, it soon became clear that I needed to recalibrate how I thought about this company. You might too if you hear what Kamal has to say in this video interview. Please join our community here and become a VIP.

Hitachi's data game is going strong
When we think of data, or digital technology generally, we typically think of relatively new companies. AWS came to life back in 2006. In tech that's mature. So, it is a bit of a surprise to see a company that is more than 100 years old playing in the data business.
Hitachi Is the new old kid on the data block
When we think of data, or digital technology generally, we typically think of relatively new companies. AWS came to life back in 2006. In tech that's mature. So, it is a bit of a surprise to see a company that is more than 100 years old playing in the data business. But that is how these conglomerates work, and Hitachi is a classic. Hitachi was founded back in 1910, making electric motors for mining operations.
iTWire - Mind the gap
The data gap is one of the biggest challenges organisations face as they try to automate more activity and seek to leverage their data through AI. For large, old, and complex organisations the scale of the challenge can be daunting. However, there are methodical ways to tackle data gaps and the big lesson seems to be that cool heads and the old builder's maxim 'measure twice, cut once' will prevail, albeit that maxim is in need of a digital expression.

Machine learning is learning to be much more human
Thoughtworks' XConf conference provides reasons to be optimistic about the potential for software to solve some major challenges. I find I'm using Siri more and more and I am increasingly pleased with the accuracy and reliability of the help I get from 'her'. However, the other day, no matter how I asked the question, Siri was throwing up results that were way off the mark. In frustration, I mutter a common expletive and said forget it. "I won't respond to that," she replied.
On the shoulders of the Honeywell giant
Necessity is the mother of invention, and a popular invention generally sees many claiming parenthood. Indeed, many companies claim that invention or innovation is part of their DNA. And yes, it is true that an organisation's culture, even a nation's culture, can have a strong influence on how innovative its people are. However, while it is romantic to think a company can be a powerhouse of invention, the reality is that in many cases inventions are acquired, not all cooked up at home.
VIDEO INTERVIEW: Mulesoft's evolution is turning out to be more racehorse than donkey
On Wednesday 30 June, I attended the launch of the next generation of MuleSoft in Sydney. It was one of a series of launches around the world. It was a slick show, perhaps with a little too much polish for an Australian audience, but the big themes were interesting.

The Australia-specific 'attention' research has just been completed, identifying the top 15 Australian domains that are recognised globally.
