Moving to hybrid cloud solutions is becoming a common change in business infrastructure for many UK organisations. Having a clear cloud strategy is essential for this change: IT leaders need to consider elements, such as the security and reliability of data, the flexibility of the cloud and scalability. Without it, keeping those workloads up to date, secure, optimised and compliant becomes difficult to achieve. Our Hybrid Cloud Management service is designed to deliver just that. Using our expertise and hybrid cloud monitoring solutions, we can ensure that not only do we "keep the lights on", but we proactively remediate issues before they cause business disruption. You can read more about our hybrid cloud solutions on our website 👇 #WorkingSmarter #HybridOffice #digitaltransformation

One of the best quotes I've read recently... 'Data is the only asset your company owns which every single employee can draw value from, yet in most organisations the application and usage of data is still concentrated on core data teams.' I speak to multiple employers on the daily about the data their organisation uses and how they get the most out of this, but the common answer seems to be that they simply aren't utilising it enough/properly because they don't have the skills or time. This is where our data programmes come in to help you! Investing into your employees data skills is an absolute game-changer - trust me, I've seen it first hand within Baltic. Whether you're a Supply Chain Manager, Operations Director, Data Analyst, HR Administrator, Planning Analyst and so many more, our professional learning programmes offer a ready-made training & development plan that equips you with the skills needed to thrive and take your career to new heights. If you're interested in your own development or would like to know how this can benefit you and your team then ⬇ 📞 07472169263  📧 [email protected] #Career #CareerDevelopment #Training
