MESA Member Webinar Week Ahead: Jan. 9-13

Adobe shares ideas on how to make your business move faster, Wasabi offers its hot cloud predictions for the year, and Microsoft Azure brings a spotlight on the future of tech in Australia and New Zealand.

Those are just a few of the events from the MESA community the week of 9-13th Jan, according to MESA’s global member e-calendar.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

Tuesday:

• “Microsoft Ignite: Spotlight on Australia and New Zealand” will dive into several curated, global themes and how they will accelerate business and shape the future of tech in Australia and New Zealand, including how to be data driven and optimise with Azure, deliver efficiency with automation and AI, empower people to work in new ways, innovate with a cloud developer platform, and protect everything, everyone, everywhere.

Wednesday:

• Adobe holds its “Top Ways to Move Your Business Faster” webinar. With a new year upon us, it’s the perfect time to re-think — and reset — how your business operates. This includes how you work with documents, the lifeblood of every organisation.

Join Adobe with insights from a leading voice on how businesses are embracing digital ways of working. Then we’ll dig into how to create smart document workflows for the new year — replacing cumbersome processes with streamlined workflows from Adobe Acrobat Pro, the all-in-one document solution. Through discussion and demos, you’ll learn about how businesses are evolving to meet today’s digital workplace challenges, how Acrobat Pro enables your team to collaborate on documents seamlessly and securely as you compete in the all-digital era, and the latest Acrobat collaboration tips to help you work smarter.

Thursday:

• Wasabi’s “Hot 2023 Predictions for the Cloud” looks at the year ahead. Despite continued positive growth across the market overall, 2022 was a turbulent year for cloud IT services. Coming out of the fog of the pandemic and faced with new macroeconomic uncertainty due to the war in Ukraine, rising inflation, energy prices, and the threat of recession; many organisations re-evaluated their cloud IT spending during 2022 with a conservative eye. A renewed focus on cost and efficiency meant many organisations began to scrutinise relationships with their SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS providers, to ensure their cloud journey was not just delivering business value, but doing so in a manner that is cost-efficient, predictable, and sustainable over the long-term.
