Security is deemed to be the top priority for businesses in 2022. This is up from 2020 when it was listed as third and comes as no surprise given what’s happening across the globe.

Other key priorities are:

• Digital transformation

• Client experience (CX)

• Applications (either modernising older applications or moving to newer platforms)

Over the last couple of years, businesses have been in a ‘protect’ phase with a focus on simply keeping their current customers.

Now, businesses are moving into a ‘grow’ phase whereby they are starting to explore and execute on long-overdue improvements to strengthen their baseline and enable them for future growth.

In this WineDown episode, Scott and Nick discuss innovation and how business digital transformation is now a requirement in order to remain competitive.

They also cover:

• How conversations around IT setups are advancing

Why do we need to backup data? Why is it important? Whose responsibility is it to protect your data?

In recent years, as people and businesses have begun to adopt cloud storage and SaaS solutions, they have become increasingly complacent with backing up their data. Gone are the days when we had memory sticks and external hard drives storing copies of our data. Now, the reliance on those cloud solutions has caused a common misconception that data is protected and backed up by those solutions.

Ahead of World Backup Day on 31st March, Scott and Nick are joined by guest-speaker James Bergl, previous Vice President of one of Australia's leading Cloud Backup Providers, Datto, to discuss all things backup.

Over a bottle of wine, the three talk about cloud backups, evolving views, where your data may be living, backup versions, and discuss a recent situation that had a great effect on many businesses.
