Big Data/Analytics: The amount of data in the world is growing every second, and taking on more forms—structured and unstructured, in motion and at rest. Big data holds valuable insights that can aid in decision making and transform a business. But without analytics, big data is just noise.
Cloud: The conversation around cloud computing has shifted. No longer just a delivery system for IT services, cloud is increasingly seen as a growth engine for business.
Cyber Security: IT systems must now supply enormous amounts of data to users around the globe, who access it from both their organizational and personal handheld devices. This evolution in business brings the challenge of securing systems and data in a multi-perimeter world.
Mobile: A mobile enterprise can attract new customers and transform a business and IT infrastructure. Develop mobile apps to boost enterprise efficiency, and improve customer service and interactions.
  • Minimum team size is 3.  Larger teams are welcome.
