Our webinar will focus on the importance of working with a digital solutions partner to cut through the doubts and address the questions and uncertainties to ensure you get to the benefits of cost and time efficiencies quickly.

Joining me on the panel for this event will be Matt Liggit from AWS, to give his perspective on why AWS work with partners to deliver their solutions, and Hannah Beck, one of the project managers here at Pulsion who will offer her perspective on the importance of discovery sessions and getting requirements right from the outset of a digital project.

More than three years on from the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, hybrid working has become the norm across all sectors of society. Remote access to data resources, SaaS platforms and meeting environments are now commonplace. However, there are many risks associated with this way of working, and it is crucial that organisations take the necessary steps to ensure that security is not compromised.

The event will focus around vendor-led strategies for the delivery of secure remote working to enhance the user experience while looking at best practices for deployment of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solutions and how these can be utilised to further deliver working efficiencies and cost savings.

Bringing together key stakeholders working across the Scottish Government and wider public sector, it will be an opportunity for you to learn how to address the network and security challenges associated with hybrid working.
