Are legacy systems really holding you back? If so, how can you move forward?

Over the last 5 years, a number of new approaches concerning software development, data interoperability, privacy and security have come forward.

The Advantage of Digital Branding

Let’s start with the question: “What is digital branding?” It’s a term that’s been thrown around a lot lately. But what exactly is it? We all know the principles of traditional branding. And at first, it might look as digital branding doesn’t differ a lot. But it does. It might be even better to see digital branding as an evolution of traditional branding, as they both share a lot of characteristics.

Gig economy provides a new way of working

In our blog: “What do millennials value in the workplace?”, that appeared last month, we talked about the best way to attract and keep millennials in the workforce.
