Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be organising our social media timelines and automatically improving the pictures on our phones, but it’s a field that’s widely misunderstood.  AI is, after all, an incredibly complex field in computer science, where the top researchers earn as much as NFL quarterback prospects.

If you’ve ever taken an introductory programming class, there’s a good chance the instructor said: “Computers are stupid.” They only do what they’re told, and only within the confines of what can be represented in logic. The intent is to remind students that computers aren’t intelligent thinking machines — like Star Trek’s Data — but rather tools…

We live in a time where remote work, BYOD trends, and a complex tech stack have become the norm. Identity providers play a vital role in this landscape; they serve to unite and secure your organisation. As the horizontal layer that spans your entire system, they provide a unique, single point of visibility and access control at the app level. So,…

Understanding your customer is a golden rule you’ll find on the first page of any marketing primer. The better you know their needs, goals and challenges, the more effectively you can serve them with resonant content and messaging.
