I'm convinced this year will be a decisive turning point in the war against a creeping yet potentially devastating type of pollution. This is the 'data pollution' which threatens to overwhelm our digital world. Just as nations are now committing to more challenging environmental targets in the physical world, we must also recognise the threat of da...

In the financial services industry, Agile teams knowingly admit to not actually being able to work within the boundaries and to the principles of the agile manifesto, sometimes describing it as “agile light” or “agile-fall”. These tongue in cheek comments are an observation on the fact that in heavily regulated, risk-managed and bureaucratic envir...

Being in identity and security space for quite a while now, obviously when I talk to friends and family, they all get excited about whole identity verification and cutting-edge technology behind it. One very logical and obvious question I often get asked is, “Well I have this payment app/wallet (Apple pay or google pay or Paytm or what not) I am u...

At the start of January 2020 I made top 5 predictions in the digital, crypto and blockchain space and evaluated how these had played out at the start of January 2020. The results were very accurate. I try to repeat that feat with my key predictions for 2021: Capital markets accelerate the move from analogue to digital I expect some very interesting...

The beginning of 2021 gave a lot of all-time-high maximums for a number of cryptocurrencies, that in turn led to a series of positive forecasts for 2021. So, for example: Citi analysts predict the price of Bitcoin at the level of $300,000 at the end of 2021. Although JPMorgan does not give exact numbers, it confirms that Bitcoin has the potential ...

So much of life is routine. On most days, many of us wake up at a set time to go to a job; we work a planned schedule; we commute a predetermined route both ways. On top of that, we program our morning coffee to brew at a certain time, set thermostats to turn on when we’re close to home after work, and even push a button to get our car to drive it...

Some people are super enthusiastic and passionate about the possibilities of new Tech. In many cases however, they will be asked if it is proven technology.

Over 10 years ago, one statement got international attention, another statement didn’t even get national attention. Still both statements echo’s today, although differently.

The transitional period ended on 31 December with no relief for European Union (EU) firms on the derivatives trading obligation (DTO) from the European Commission (EC) and only limited adjustments from the United Kingdom (UK).

When most of us think of AI, we imagine slick, intuitive designs, underpinned by quick, efficient systems all handed to you on a personalised plate. What many of us don’t necessarily think of is hard, cold numbers. Odd really when data is the key foundation underpinning AI. Artificial intelligence is all about data or numbers, input into systems t...
