Events at this location

Join our series of events, ScotlandIS Tech Tidbits, on the first Tuesday of every month!

These 30 minute webinars will be short, informative sessions on a variety of topics, from exporting to cybersecurity, cloud computing to procurement, and many more.

Each event will feature a ScotlandIS member offering their expert insights and advice on the topic in hand, however you do not need to be a member to attend these talks.

For our August event, we’ll be joined by Stuart Gilbertson, Managing Director of Consider IT.

Stuart will take us on a deep dive into Microsoft Business Premium and the surrounding benefits to your business of implementing this tool, covering cyber security, productivity and collaboration, compliance, data loss prevention, and more.

This Skills Roundtable is being held in association with St Andrews University and Fife College as an opportunity for ScotlandIS members to provide insight into skills requirements for the sector.

Throughout the event we will discuss gaps and mismatches within Higher Education (HE)/Further Education (FE), and requirements from industry. We will discuss the skills that are required in specific areas across Scotland, explore the level of skills required by industry, and look at how qualification levels impact roles.

What is the demand for qualifications over experience, and what are the barriers to accessing that training?

It is hoped that the audience will leave with a better grasp of the skills rquirements across Scotland, and that educational institutions gain a clearer understanding of sector requirements to ensure the training they are providing is relevant.

For our July event, we’ll be joined by Stephen Murphy, Enterprise Account Manager at Quest.

Imagine you’re in a room full of mismatched spreadsheets, each one insisting it knows who “Customer 123” is, but none of them agree. That’s where Stephen’s story begins. He’ll walk you through the moment Quest finally said “Enough!” and ran their data only to discover they had been carrying around 127 duplicate fields like extra luggage.

Next comes the secret weapon, a lineage-hunting bot that mapped every column in minutes and gave Quest the confidence to launch a dashboard people actually wanted to use. Along the way Stephen will stay honest with three gut-check questions: Does it bring value? Can it last? Is it doable? He will finish with a quick look at AI that can sketch data models on the fly, and leave you with one dare: go home, retire one dusty report, and start making your data lovable.
