African firms adopt IBM cloud to fuel innovation

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has announced its signature event in Lagos, that eight companies across Africa, spanning some of the fastest growing industries in the region, from telecommunications to retail, have chosen IBM to provide Information and Technology (IT) solutions delivered as a service via IBM Cloud.

According to the company during “IBM Business Nigeria 2016”, this will help the firms drive productivity, innovation, differentiation and competitiveness in their respective industries.

Located in various urban centers across the west, north, central and southern African regional economic zones, all businesses seek to use IBM public and hybrid cloud solutions to accelerate business development and innovation and create global growth strategies.

The American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York, observed that companies including Navigation and Geocoding Technologies Ltd. (Naveo), Whogohost, Korrect Software, Serve Consulting, and IntTeck Global Systems, are all looking to the hybrid cloud for greater flexibility, scalability and central management. This will enable them to move workloads to where they make the most sense for their business.

“These companies are not alone and their move to the hybrid cloud is indicative of a global trend. According to IDC, hybrid cloud is the new norm for businesses, and it predicts that more than 80 percent of enterprise IT organizations will commit to hybrid cloud architectures by 2017.

“A 2016 global study of hybrid cloud, Growing up Hybrid: Accelerating Digital Transformation from the IBM Center for Applied Insights, found that 500 hybrid cloud implementers from 13 countries and 23 industries are using hybrid cloud to jumpstart “next-generation” initiatives.

“The IBM Cloud allows a company to improve business agility and capacity to quickly meet shifting customer demands,” says Tejas Mehta, General Manager, IBM Central and West Africa.” He added, “The Africa region is propelling innovation by adopting IBM Cloud. The IBM Cloud will give them the technical muscle to consistently align their operational objectives and assets with prevailing market conditions, laying a foundation for commercial sustenance and future growth.”

IntTeck Global Systems: a local developer and vendor for Global Insurance Business Solution, a core insurance application from Lagos, Nigeria, is an example of the many African companies currently adopting IBM technologies.

For IntTeck, IBM is needed to consistently deliver innovative software products and enhance the efficiency of its service delivery value chain. Since adopting IBM’s Cloud infrastructure, the company has experienced increased customer satisfaction levels, easier configuration and deployment of virtual machines, reduced operational costs and improved regulatory compliance within its industry.

Recall that in January 2016, IBM was ranked #1 in Hybrid and positioned as a leader in Hybrid Cloud Management Solutions (Synergy Group Research and Forrester, respectively).

5 tips to protect your business from cyber crime

1. Ensure you have anti-virus software installed on all devices and that it is automatically updated.

2. Ensure you have firewalls in place and that they are properly configured. If unsure, seek advice.

3. Consider blocking users from visiting inappropriate or unrequired websites – these are often the source of common attacks.

4. Don't open emails from addresses you don't recognise. Similarly, don't click on links or open attachments unless from a trusted source.

5. Regularly backup important data. Never work from the backup in case your computer is compromised. Store backups offline and on separate devices.

Finance officer for the Bristol and South Gloucestershire Circuit of the Methodist Church, Emily Eden, said the attack had a huge effect.

She said: "I lost everything I'd been working on for the past six years. They wanted money from us to get our data back but we refused to give in to their demands."

Forensic science is the practical application of science to criminal and civil laws in the society.

The term forensic science further involves forensic (or forensis, in Latin), which means a public discussion or debate. In a more modern context, however, forensic applies to courts or the judicial system.

Weird right?

Combine that with science, and forensic science means applying scientific methods and processes to solving crimes.
