A blog by Martin Erasmuson

As we find ourselves in the thick of the 4th Industrial Revolution with the exponential growth of and demand for information at its core, the current COVID 19 crisis has thrown a spot light on antiquated information infrastructures. We stumble from crisis to crisis with severe consequences that seem obvious in hindsight, before reverting to our old way of thinking. As we step into a deeply uncertain future, is it finally time to admit to that uncertainty and implement a Military Grade Information Infrasructure that can respond to continuous change?

In this festive season I’m still sure of one thing,
Technology’s great; but data is king.
