2) Your Vogue New Subsidiary: A DataCo
✍️ Contributor: Douglas Laney , Data & Analytics Strategy Innovation Fellow of West Monroe .
"The DataCo route has its benefits, but these entities are altricial and present obstacles with regard to structure, regulation, technology, and culture!..."
📊 Organisations around the world are starting to recognise that their data holds enormous value beyond its operational application and basic business intelligence. But new strategic approaches are needed to maximise and monetise these data assets.
🌐 One emerging paradigm is the independent "Data Company" or "DataCo" – a separate corporate entity whose sole purpose is to manage and extract greater value from its parent company's data, both internally and externally.
📈 While these corporations have existed for years in industries such as airlines and retail, their prevalence is set to increase as the importance of data continues to grow in the global economy.
📚 According to a new report by the EDM Council, these DataCos are proliferating as the importance of data grows across industries. By separating the data business, organisations can foster innovation, mitigate risk, and generate new revenue streams through external data sharing and advanced analytics.

5) How SMEs Can Safely Feed Their Data into ChatGPT to Propel Productivity
✍️ Contributor: Rob Young, Chief Executive Officer of Infinity Group UK
"In a competitive world, small business leaders need to run with every advantage they can!..."
🤖 The launch of OpenAI's #ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. Workers across the country are already using the tool for everyday tasks, and its once seeming magical ability to generate reams of text within seconds has already become normalised.
🦾 Yet most companies do not have AI usage policies in place —especially SMEs—with employees largely posing questions to the large language model (LLM) on an ad hoc basis. This poses fresh cyber security risks that business owners must contend with.
6) Is Your Enterprise Ready for the New Wave of Cyber Threats?
✍️ Contributor: Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer of #Infinidat.
"Storage has become a vital component of cybersecurity because the vulnerabilities of legacy storage infrastructures are being exposed!..."
🌐 After all the debates prompted by Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it’s clear that serious changes are underway in the cyber threat landscape and the timing couldn’t be better.
🛡️ Finally, we are seeing a realisation that many enterprises have not seen their cybersecurity measures work as effectively as anticipated - because they omitted a vital piece: the cybersecurity of their enterprise storage.
7) How Small Businesses Can Outmanoeuvre the Behemoths
✍️ Contributor: Deirdre Byrne, Head of UK & Ireland at Slack
"In a competitive world, small business leaders need to run with every advantage they can!..."
📉 In a world of global business, multinational mergers and intense competition for customers, it can be easy for small business leaders to feel the deck is stacked against them.
📊 Despite making up 99% of the UK’s companies, these organisations face challenges that have only grown in recent years - from squeezed cash flows to strains on securing talent. Meanwhile, bigger competitors reap the benefits that come with economies of scale.
📈 However, smaller organisations do have some advantages over the business behemoths. First and foremost is agility. If the multinationals are cargo ships taking hours to change course, smaller businesses are lightweight speedboats ready to run rings around them.
8) Shielding Your Business from Scams: The Role of Data Loss Prevention Strategies
✍️ Contributor: Joe Pettit , Director of Bora - Cybersecurity Marketing
"Companies cannot afford to be lax about data protection!..."
🌐 In the constantly evolving landscape of cyber threats, where cyber attacks become more intense, frequent, and advanced, scams targeting businesses remain one of the predominant concerns.
🛡️ Phishing emails, fraudulent transactions, business email compromise (BEC), and ransomware attacks are just the tip of the iceberg. They often lead to one of the most damaging consequences for businesses: data loss.
